The i


A new " paper for today " from the Independent


i have it here


i wish I didn't


i cant see the point


It's rubbish not very good & I can't see why they've bothered. In a market already covered by free papers of a similar quality, it doesn't make sense ( even at 20p )


News light & ad heavy


Am I missing something here ?


W**F

Simon Kelner quoted as saying


""What it is targeting are the people who like the ethos of a quality paper but don't have the time or inclination to sit down and read it.""


which is one of the most profoundly depressing things I've read in a while. It's like something Chris Morris made up

i picked it up on the bus last night, and liked it. It is, though, not as much as a laff as the 'Metro', nor is it anywhere near as good a read as the real Indy or Guardian for that matter. I can see it being pulled in about a year or so because I don't believe people, now used to free papers, will pay even 20p for it, even if it is a better quality read.

    • This new movement seems great.  great ideas. But they’re just an opposition party they’re like a subsection of the Labour Party - so perfectly suited to Corbyn - his inspirational rhetoric can only be uttered in opposition.  Power would not suit him - that would require hard decisions that’s not his style, strength or skill
