I would object to this most strongly. OK paying for the news - I'm not happy at that when it has been free for so long but if they want to charge then why not, profits need to be maintained as well as those little green bottles of water for the MD's meetings.

What I object to is £10 a month. What if I think the Sun (or whatever) has gone down in quality in recent weeks? I've lost my £10. At least with the physical copy I can decide not to buy tomorrow's edition.

If they offered it on a pay-as-you-go basis I'd be much more open to the idea. But for this very reason I think they'll never offer it that way.
