That's what I mean. From what I'd read over the years, I expected even national retailers, garages etc. to simply not stock it. That said, even though I do read The Sun, I was genuinely too scared to buy the thing.Philip wrote:Yes it is surprising - I regularly see people reading it on the train as well.

At least this move guarantees a strong Remain vote in Merseyside!
It's a very delicate subject as you can imagine. Personally, as long as The Sun continues to employ Kelvin Mackenzie in any capacity, their apologies are null and void.
The famous headline has now - finally - been confirmed as bollocks, but I'm not convinced that McKenzie was part of the cover-up, at least not directly.
