So you've had a sneak preview of it? oh to be so priviledged like you.

I'll wait until Sunday before buying mine, and then, and only after I've read it to see if it's any good, I'll tell the newsagent to put my copy aside each Sunday so I'll never miss it.

I don't normally buy papers apart from the local rag. Coming from the Liverpool area, I would not buy anything to do with that paper which isn't even worthy enough to be put at the bottom of the cat litter tray. I hope that it is a complete failure

I'll be watching the merseyside sales figures for the new paper with interest.

Thank you - I thought everyone knew how merseysider's felt about the Sun. Although there are still a lot of sales by people who really couldn't give a toss.

It comes from a boycot following hilsborough, when The Sun wrote pieces saying that Liverpool fans were stealing from and pissing on the dead......

As for the policicians, who do you think has created the situation where ideology (the driving force for friction and progress) is frowned upon by all? That's right, the Media. Who owns most of the media (as in has the largest media holdings....)? That's right, Murdoch.

It's no coincidence that successive governments have sucked up to him, his papers are aimed at the lowest comond denominator and are all comment, no news.

Actually I don't read the Sun.....but if you are deluded enough to think a boycott of the paper on a Swingers website will make any difference to their sales then go with it....

Incidentally.....do the people of Liverpool really have the courage of their convictions enough to boycott EVERYTHING to do with the Sun's owners?

Only there seems to be an awful lot of SKY subscribers in the city of Liverpool....and it's increasing.

i largely agree but yet disagree....a few members from here wont hurt murdoch bottom line, but people who feel strongly enough should boycott it on the courage of their own conscience knowing that they in part didnt contribute to the wealth of murdochs ill gotton media empire. as for people just boycotting the sun cause they dont agree with murdochs ethics yet still subscribe to sky etc....i agree, i dont subscribe to sky and woulnt wipe my dogs arse with any of his publications.

The sun sales went waydown when Liverpool boycotted it, and I might add with very good reason. They did try and issue an apology years later but only obviously with the sales of their paper in mind.

What people did about Sky etc is up to them, but unless you were there at the time you won't know the level of disgust there was towards The Sun.

To the OP...I won't be buying it anyway as I didn't used to buy the News of the screws either.

By decent I ment a paper that doesn't report on who's shagging who or who Jordan is now going out with or a news paper that uses the phrase 'an insider said', I know all papers have slant that they take and I suppose it's up to the individual as to what that consider 'decent'. Cheers

have foud other sunday papers port coverage to be rather substandard, to be kind.

I don't frequent McDonalds for various reasons but I do use Prets. There's no real connection between the two despite the fact that McDonalds bought 33% of Prets. If I over anylysed everything I'd be naked and starving. There's certain companies (nike and apple spring to mind )that I won't give money to. If something is brought to my attention and I don't agree with it I'll boycott the company but I can't do research into everything I buy.

As for the Sunday Sun,it appears to be a direct replacement for the NOTW,a paper I always bought until the Milly Dowler story broke. So I won't be buying it this week or any week

i understand how far and wide the murcock empire goes (non sky subscriber here btw, virgin all the way!!) but my op was specifically posted towards the new s*n, tabloids can kiss my fat arse for all i care, all full of stupid 'celeb shagging celeb' stories, i'd much rather read the local paper which has got my local news in it, and catch up with any other news on the telly. the s*n has basically shit on soooooo many people over the years, the worst im my eyes being the coverage of hillsborough. i was only young at the time and i lost an uncle who i was very close too, and might aswell have lost another due to the impact it had on him seeing what happened to his brother, and for them cheeky stinkin dirty rotten fuckwit gobshites at the s*n to slag scousers so publically and without reason or proof was a disgrace that no amount of apologies will ever fix.

would like to inform you of the fact my IQ is actually above the uk average. and it is my opinion. at the end of the day the country is falling to ruins and has been for the past 10 years or so because of the judgements made my our so called government over the last 10 years we have seen tax rise, unemployment levels to make you sick, family's struggling to make ends meet because of inflation, we have lost a lot of good men that are fighting for a country that is not doing anything to protect themselves and seem to only be out doing everything they can to line their pockets. and yet we are on the brink of the second ressesion in 10 years now i may only be young but dont let this fool you i do understand politics and atm i refuse to vote because what i have seen over my short lifetime . is lies after lies after lies and it makes no odds what policies you vote for they always seem to disappear in the pipe lines some where . no im not a royalist i dont agree with the royal family as it stands atm i dont think its strong enough to run the country the only really respect i have for the royal family is for the princes (wWilliam reminds me of the old Arthurian legend) a man that will stand by his men and fight for what he believes in. rant over this is my opinions anyway everyone has the right to express them.

Their is a serious flaw in the logic of making a stand against politics by not voting...

I fail to see what a ruling Royal Family would achieve - other than a dictatorship. A government should be elected and a country should not be ruled by virtue of parentage.

Liverpool should get over it....The sun that is

Do I not fly because of Munich of course I don't......

Come back when you are famous...as really you stopped being that in late 80s"
Maybe if you had lost someone there you would think differently, added to that the lies and deceptive shenanigans that went on by the powers that were at the sun to that mix...you may feel differently ?

"I used to buy the news of the world for the football coverage. I will be buying the paper on Sunday, and i'll my form own opinions.

Interesting point about people in Liverpool not buying the sun, but subscribing to sky. Never thought about it like that."

Tad sad quoting yourself, but to add what I said earlier, does Liverpool football club not accept Sky's tv money ? So they refuse to buy the paper, but have sky and the football club happily accepts money of Murdoch ?

I doubt there are many people still working for the Sun who were working for it - and responsible for the offensive comments printed in it - at the time of the Hillsborough disaster. The newspaper is merely an ever evolving entity with staff changes on a daily basis. It's a Murdoch paper sure, but to blank The Sun because of who owns it is churlish if one doesn't apply that same principle across Murdoch's empire and boycott everything associated with him.

However, if one was personally offended by what the Sun printed over Hillsborough then one has the unquestionable right to never buy that newspaper again, but, those same boycotters must also acknowledge the rights of other people to buy it if they so wish.

Isn't it false advertising calling The Sun a newspaper? A comic at best with lots of pictures to entertain the easily amused.

It hardly qualify's as a serious newspaper. If you are fool enough to buy it and support a man who has manipulated our politicians, police force and government then enjoy your comic.

Show me an editor of any newspaper who isn't influenced by a potential knighthood sometime later in his/her life, or switch political allegiances based upon what's good for his/her circulation figures. They all court the politicians as much as the politicans court the media. But let's see how you get on with your boycott of anything to do with Murdoch. Go on, I dare you. Anything that has his hands on it I dare you not to touch, for a year. You won't last a week, even without realising it.

Then don't read it!.....anyone would think it was compulsory to read it the way some people go on.

To be fair there's not a single person on this thread who suggested to boycott murdoch per se. The only people who are labouring the point is the ones saying 'go on i dare ya to'

I don't have a problem with Murdoch himself,I have a problem with a newspaper that thought it was acceptable to hack into a dead childs phone. Its that simple. It people think I'm a hypocrite because I watch the football on Sky or watch Family guy,firstly I'd disagree and secondly I'd attempt to quantify the size of the fuck I don't give

Phone hacking is endemic across the entire newspaper industry.

""Phone hacking appeared to be a "bog-standard journalistic tool" for gathering information, a former Daily Mirror financial reporter has said.

James Hipwell, who was jailed in 2006 for writing about firms whose shares he owned, said he witnessed repeated privacy infringements at the paper.

He told the Leveson Inquiry into media ethics that he overheard showbiz journalists openly talking about it." "

Murdoch shut the paper down when he discovered what had happened. Some people may think it was an altruistic manipulated endeavour by the man himself to curry favour but if you'd seen him at the inquiry you'd have seen how utterly dismayed he was by some of the practices that had been uncovered. Sure he's a newspaper man and he knows reporters cross the lines sometimes to get a story, but even he didn't believe that some of them would be so callous as to hack what was then a child's phone, a child whom the entire UK was on the lookout for. I don't believe for one minute that even Murdoch was party to it, or would have sanctioned it as he knew the ramifications of what would have to happen if it was ever discovered - as proven by his closing of his own newspaper.
