David Aaronovitch says so.


And I agree.


I love the Guardian, I like the Telegraph, the Times I can do without. I despise the Mail.


I just enjoy the "feel" of a newspaper. It holds a particular experience within its neat folded sheets, and a well read newspaper looks exhausted, it looks disheveled, ready to be binned or re-cycled.


Personally I like all that & though I read on-line, I feel more immersed if I read it in a broadsheet.



Is this nostalgia, or does the physical and emotional part matter too ?

*yawns...*

Actual numbers of newspapers sold Daily / Anually UK / globally are difficult to calculate

as figure are changing and are huge.


By 2007, there were 6580 daily newspapers in the world selling 395 million copies a day.


By 2009 there were 12477 News papers world wide..


Almost every Newspaper will be read once then discarded.


Some will be recycled.

Some will be burnt.

Some will end up buried in tips. Newspapers take up about 14 percent of landfill space


This process cannot be allowed to continue.


Recycling Newspaper is hazardous due to printing ink being Toxic. (Hence Chip shops cannot use them)


Info Various sources.


Trees

And just how many trees does it take to make a newspaper? Well, it takes 75,000 trees to print one day?s circulation of the Sunday edition of the New York Times. Multiply that by the 52 Sundays in a year and that comes out to 3,900,000 trees. Think about that for a minute. It takes 3,900,000 trees to print a years worth of Sunday editions of the New York Times.

That is just 1 news paper..


Just think about it before buying a newspaper.

Never understood why someone would put currants and cinnamon in a brick but I do remeber the first time I caught a bus in London a mate of mine picked up a discarded Metro from under the seat and showed me what to do if I ever had to facilitate a swift exit from a sticky situation.

Was it to roll it into a cone and vomit into the extemporised receptacle, before hiffing cone and contents oot the windae?

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
