So the last one is out. It is amusing to note that many souvenir hunters will be short changed – apparently whilst they have printed extra copies of the newspaper itself, the supplement has no extra copies printed. Not the souvenir pull-out (unless someone corrects me) but the normal supplement.
The interesting part is the souvenir pullout where they highlight 46 of their big stories throughout history. Of which 21 amounted to little more than kiss and tell stories which were little more than salacious gossip with backing evidence. So 45% of the News of the World’s great stories really amounted to telling us that someone famous was shagging someone they perhaps shouldn’t have been. Not exactly world-shaking investigative journalism then.
