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.

    • Let's not forget this is the lowest level of local politics. If McCash really thought his defection could trash the Labour Party nationally, and it was loaded with invective and exhibitionism, then that's pretty much the definition of a "hissy fit"! Scooping the Green nomination for DaWN constituency is also going to be a lot harder for a Marxist arriviste than you suggest. There may be a wave of new, younger Polanski-ites that have joined the Green Party of E&W recently, but it's the long-standing, often retired members of the Party that tend to participate in candidate interview panels and bother voting in selections...
    • They've had 26 years or so of trading, and if anyone deserves decent retirement... In my view they're going out at the top. It's clearly being sold, assuming it all goes through as a very more more than just a going concern. 
    • I had heard this was on the cards a while ago, sad, the end of an era, but well done Rod and Tim for stewarding a beacon of excellence for so many years.    
    • Both your hopes will be fine, I think. Our waitress will stay on. The downstairs is getting refurbished, and the bar area enlarged, presumably by removing that awkward little 'lobby' by the loos.
