Less Murdoch filth littering our tubes?

Can only be a good thing really.

The London Paper always seemed boring compared to London Lite. I am not surprised.

Both are awful. I thought for a while that the London Paper might be slightly better than the Lite, but then I realised that the ink from the LP really does come off on your hands. So I am now loyal to Lite. Quite simply really.

It was always my least favourite of the 3 free papers (the others being LL and the Metro). Seemed to have more celebrity gossip in it.

No.

The London Paper had a place in our lives for a couple of months earlier this year, when I was bringing a few copies home every night for my puppy to piddle on.

He wees outside now, though, so no, we won’t miss it.

Thank god.

Who cares what K Moss and L Allen are doing?? YAWN.

This news is so provincial its unreal.

This is the London bias that annoys people, although I partially understand why that bias exists in political matters, this story still doesn’t qualify as news to 90% of the country. Local papers go out of business a lot and it doesn’t get covered in the same way.

Left Outside, but London is about a quarter of the GDP output and the capital – these things matter. To Lily Allen.

I’m just glad Murdoch is losing money

Left Outside,

You have a point, but also you seem to be missing the wider context: the end of the london freesheet wars indicates a changing of the journalistic landscape and the way that Murdoch views his newspaper ventures and his finances.

That matters to a lot of people outside London.

It matters to people inside London, incidentally, who have only ever picked up the London Paper when pissed as a fart in order to laugh at the stupid celebrity articles but couldn’t give a flying fuckrat if it disappears into financial oblivion. People like me, for example, who are interested in how Murdoch conducts his affairs, given the unjustified power his newspaper empire wields over our politics, and that of the world more generally.

wont be missed, but damn the london lite to hell!

Myspace was a fabulous trade. Rupe got the whole cost back in one mega ad deal with Google… net cost, nearly zilch.

Don’t give a monkey’s raas.

No.

Fuck the freesheets.
