This week will be the last ever NOTW. Official - James Murdoch.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

And Murdoch takes a devastating blow. Great stuff.

 

[Macca]

The NOTW is dead. Long Live The Sun.

 

[Lee]

The can't have the the Sunday Sun as that's a local paper in newcastle that actually has been around longer than the Sun.

Rebekah Brooks was married to Ross Kemp? My God.

The closing of it is a bit of a surprise to be honest, would have expected more of a fight from News International. Smacks of an attempt on Murdoch's behalf to stop, or at least slow down the media coverage of the whole thing. It won't work.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Rebekah Brooks is married to Ross Kemp?!?!?!?!

Was married. They're divorced, or so my 9 seconds of research on wikipedia tells me.

 

[Brilliant Human Being]

Aye, some sly editing has been done. Just got told by my brother they're married, should've researched it.

MOTHERFUCKING YES IT'S FINALLY HERE

 

[Gelgarin]

And The Sun (another Murdoch publication) registers a domain name for a new Sunday paper. Given that the News of the World was making a financial loss anyway, nobody is suffering apart from the more blameless employees who just lost their jobs.

MOTHERFUCKING YES IT'S FINALLY HERE

Why is the BBC not investing money into stuff like this, get rid of Chris Evans and use the money saved from that and do animations like this on every news story

Sunday Sun's a newcastle paper.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Never knew you couldn't buy The Sun on Sundays. So, yeah, this story has shaken my very perception of reality.

There's a paper called The Sunday Sun, it's a North East local paper and predates the rag by about 20 years.

NOTW was the Sunday version of the proper Sun I guess.

Favourite headlines I've seen:

"From NOTW to NOWT" and "Hacked to Death"

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Wasn't Hacked to Death on The Times...another Murdoch toilet paper piece?

 

[Lee]

I thought it was the mirror.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

I could be wrong.

 

[Lee]

I googled it, it was both.

 

[Lee]

This would have been a hundred times funnier as Alan Partridge.

 

[Lee]

Tomorrow's Mirror:

Shit's going to go down now!

 

[Brilliant Human Being]

Reports everywhere suggesting that in 2006 when Rebekah Brooks was editor, The Sun hacked into medical records belonging to Gordon Brown about his son who was suffering from cystic fibrosis.

 

[Lee]

Wern't they the paper who leaked he had depression as well?

FUCKING HELL SHIT JUST GOT REAL
