The Times is reportedly in discussions over ending the daily features pull-out, Times2. Apparantly the idea is to simply incorporate the features into the main body of the paper, but the redesign might mean that more space is given to its football supplement The Game and the weekly property section Bricks & Mortar.
This cannot be allowed. Denying readers of the features pull-out renders the whole process of reading a newspaper completely redundant. Why else would I wade through endless atrocities and disasters - for a bloody football?! I think not. It's like missing out on the sweet and being left with the sour; the ying without the yang, if you will. And particularly with news being so freely available on the internet, it is a serious error to suppose we need more print space for it. Nor do we need to surrender the supplement for further coverage of football or property developments; we have Sky Sports News and Kirstie and Phil for that.
And please do not suggest that The One Show is an adequate replacement for my Times2 fix...
