THE SON - why not become a reader... or even a Partner?

THE SON - Additional tabloid evangelists are required to help bring about more positive news in our papers.

Plymouth born media entrepreneur Duncan Williams said he was 'immensely impressed and delighted' when he discovered a radical new red-top being produced in his home city.

Says Duncan; "As a former tabloid hack it really was an instant hit with me! The Son is a welcome broadside shot at all those negative news stories that seems to dominate our British press. I simply love this paper's outlook!"

Duncan and his company Independent News Ltd. have pledged to get hundreds of copies of The Son distributed on London streets in time for Christmas...

"This is a really great little paper and I hope more people will get to read it!"

News in Brief

ZUTONS: The lead singer of Liverpool
rock band The Zutons, who broke a
man's nose after his girlfriend was
insulted, was convicted of assault on
Wednesday. Dave McCabe, 29, headbutted
Peter Appleby during an alcoholfuelled
row outside a nightclub in February,
Liverpool Crown Court heard.
McCabe, who wrote the hit song Valerie
which was covered by Amy Winehouse
and Mark Ronson, reacted after one of
Mr Appleby's friends mocked his girlfriend's
fur-collared coat, saying it
looked like she had a beard. The rock
star denied assault occasioning actual
bodily harm and claimed he had acted
in self-defence. The Zutons formed in
2001 and have released three albums.

GREENPEACE: Greenpeace activists
have occupied an oil drilling ship
anchored off the Shetland Isles to push
for a ban on deepwater drilling in the
North Sea, the environmental group
said on Tuesday. Two activists used
speedboats to reach the 228-metre
long "Stena Carron" ship and climbed
up the rungs of the anchor chain before
hanging off the side in tents suspended
on ropes. One of the Greenpeace protesters,
Anais Schneider, said: "The
Shetlands are so beautiful and an oil
spill here could devastate this area and
the North Sea. "It’s time to go beyond
oil. Our addiction is harming the climate,
the natural world and our
chances of building a clean energy
future." US oil giant Chevron, which
operates the ship, accused Greenpeace
of endangering lives and appealed to
the group to immediately stop the
protest.

STOCKS: London shares fell at the end
of trade on Wednesday after a downbeat
economic outlook from the US
Federal Reserve, raising doubts over
the health of the world's largest economy.
The FTSE 100 index shed 0.44
per cent to close at 5,551.91 poiints.

HAMSTER: A British court sentenced a
man to nine weeks in prison on Wednesday
after he killed his favourite pet
hamster by cooking it in a microwave
during a drunken row with his girlfriend.
Unemployed Anthony Parker, 29, was
also banned from keeping any animals
for five years after he admitted causing
unnecessary suffering to the rodent resulting
in its death. Parker told police
after his arrest in Hartlepool in northeastern
England: "I didn't mean to kill
her. She was the best hamster I ever
had. She was called Suzie."

ROYAL MAIL: Employees at Royal Mail
will receive at least ten per cent of
shares following privatisation, Business
Secretary Vince Cable announced on
Wednesday. "This will be the largest
employee shares scheme of any privatisation
for 25 years in terms of the number
of workers who will benefit second
only to the privatisation of British Telecom
in 1984," Cable said as he
addressed the annual Liberal Democrat
party conference.
