It is really quite sad that after 168 Years...through WW1 that this ICON of an EDITION should be closed down because of a few Selfish, Arrogant, Ignorant, Inept and Betrayful Shyster Journos'...If you can call them that. The bigger picture has a 'Flow On Affect' to other Journalists in the UK, and that is most unfair.
