Free notw.co.uk on Sunday

Dear a1cat

It is with great regret that we write to inform you that after 168 years we will publish the final edition of the News of the World this Sunday.

You will know that the paper has a proud history of fighting crime, exposing wrong-doing and regularly setting the news agenda for the nation.

However, in recent times the good things that the News of the World have done have been sullied by behaviour that was wrong and inexcusable.

As a result, the very difficult decision to close down the paper and notw.co.uk has been made.

Advertising space in this last edition of the paper will be donated to good causes and charities and all revenues will go to organisations that improve life in Britain and are devoted to treating others with dignity.

As a result of this decision, notw.co.uk will be open to the public for free for our final edition on Sunday 10th July. If you have already paid for access to the sites for this weekend and have outstanding credit on your account, we will contact you shortly and arrange a refund within the next 28 days.

If you have any other questions please email [EMAIL="help@notw.co.uk"]help@notw.co.uk[/EMAIL]

    Hardly a 'grabbit'.
    Scum have been 'grabbing' your cash in exchange for inferior and gutter journalism for years.

    Harsh, it has good elements as well, most UK newspaper journalists prize their integrity above all else.

    I suppose you're right, a journalism degree must be really instrumental when you're trying to find out if Beckham's had an affair or if Jordan has had her tits reduced. Farewell to bad rubbish, can't believe people ever paid for such trash.

    News of the World never had any integrity even before this hacking shame.

    Aw, I thought this was going to be a free copy of the print edition.

    I hear The News of the Screws is great for cleaning your windows with a dab or two of vinegar... :rotfl:

    Utter scum expect the old hacks to get a job at sun on Sunday.
    Sorry what they did can not be defended.
  • Even free I wouldn't buy it.

    I don't know which is more disgusting - that there is a seven-million-strong readership for this kind of tabloid muck; or the fact that it's written by (largely) well-educated, priviledged middle-class Hoorays who really should know better...

    Rant over! (and exhale...) :rotfl:
