    Since when did a News Corp company have to justify anything? They can just do what they want.

    Their circulation is constantly falling. Also, given that The Times is a loss-making newspaper, and its circulation is also falling (more drastically so), I'd imagine Murdoch needs more money to subsidise it.

    No doubt the compensation scheme is putting a dent in their profits, too.

    And the powers that be think putting the price up will HELP solve that problem?

    What a load of morons.

    Well if you turn to page 4 the paper does explain to all Sun readers the reason for the price increase.
    " We now have to give more pennies to all the men and women who work very hard at the Sun they now have to start work when the big hand gets to 12 and the little hand is at 8 and they have to stay a very long time till the little hand goes all the way to 5.

    Have you seen the cost of barristers?

    Still cheaper than regular toilet paper though :D

    I wouldn't even use that rag for Toilet roll.
