ABC figures for the month of August 2007 -
The Sun - 2,933,654
The Daily Mail - 2,137,069
Daily Mirror - 1,436,436
Daily Express - 765,483
Daily Star - 674,450
Daily Record - 398,288

Total of 8,345,380 copies purchased, and it is estimated by the newspapers that at least two other people reads a purchased copy, gives you nearly 25 million readers of the tabloids - over 40% of the UK population is not a smallish proportion, imho.

People are asking why the McCanns need a PR firm - since they are being tried by the media, it may be useful to have a media professional advising them.
