With immediate effect. What a sad loss to this country's journalistic cannon. Not.

The funny thing is they blame the bad weather in December for a drop in sales which they haven't recovered from since. Yeah, right!

A horrible publication, never saw the point in it meself, unamusing non titilating garbage, about the only thing it was fit for was as a standy by in case the workshop ran out of bog roll.

Hmm that applies to several other publications loosely described as newspapers now i come to think about it, should come with a govt health warning for propaganda...except they are the main beneficiaries of the tripe so won't hold me breath.

Well, in some scale, the level of British newspapers must, by the law of averages, improved marginally.

I'm baffled as to why it rated a metion on the Look North West tongiht (I wasn't paying attention) but I don't think they are printed in this part of the world. It cant, surely, be due to the fact that one of the NWT reporters, Tony Livesey, worked for them for 18 years and had been both editor in chief (WTF?) and managing director ? - strange thing to publicise, unless you were glad to see the back of them

We will never see news about WW2 bombers on the moon, or London Double deckers found in Antarctic ice ever again.

I used to enjoy the odd pint with a guy who actually bought the paper on a daily basis. He was the only person who I have ever met who owned up to such depravity. Incidentally, he died a few years ago at the age of 41. I'm not suggesting any connection!

Given the amount - and apparent popularity - of some of the garbage on the internet, I think the Sunday Sport was ahead of its time.

It certainly proved the adage about never over-estimating the taste of the public.

I've been a builder for eight years. I mourn its passing and can imagine myself wistfully telling future apprentices about this once-great paper.

Shame, it used to fit perfectly inside my copy of the Times.

The Sport is not dead, it is working in my local chippy... Wrapping up chips.

I used to find the Sport disguised my copy of the Daily Mail nicely.
