Greater minds than eye have said, "THE SUN never sets on the British Empire."

But as you always say, those words were said in analogue times.

Rupert has come out and said that he's sold 3 million copies today, however lots of rumours are flying that the print run was only 3 million,  and on top of this there are reports that sales have been absolutely abysmal with rumourd sales down to as low as 450,000 (just 15% of the print run). The first edition wasn't that strong,  and the Mirror and Star have apparently had good editions going today so we shall see.

Proper figures will not be available till distributors get the returns tomorrow (Newspapers are sold to shops on a sale or return basis, and When the delivery drivers drop Monday mornings papers they pick up last weeks wrapped returns that are then counted at the depots), and they wont be collated till at least Tuesday by the sales watchdogs.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

On top of that Module 2 of Leveson starts tomorrow, "The police and the press" now that holds real opportunity to hole the Murdoch empire below the waterline, and really expose all sorts of dirty little secrets. as corrupting foreign officials exposes the parent companyt to all sorts of repercussions in the American legal system.

At least Two senior police officers may be exposed, one who is under investigation by the IPCC for leaking the investigation to Rebekah Brooks, and another who it is reported has been in reciept of cash delivered by News International drivers whilst at work.

and thats before anyone else starts providing  evidence, and Im sure there will be a few points of entertainment there.

It won't all be plain sailing for the Met either. they have lots of things still to explain.
