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.

  To those from the UK.

  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?
