This is one of the Murdoch papers. Murdoch is anti-metric. Expect a new Sunday paper to rise out of the ashes of the NOTW. I don't see any change for the better here, unfortunately.

Do any of you know if the tabloid being shut down was pro or anti-metric? If it was anti-metric, does anyone see anything positive for completing metrication in the UK if a voice for the opposition is silenced? How many more anti-metric publications are there in the UK and what can be done to silence them too? http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/08/world/europe/08britain.html?_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha2
