''You can't pay someone like me a large sum of money and then give it away year after year after year," he said. "I'm very comfortable behind a paywall because I don't see how I can support my family if the people that employ me keep giving my stuff away year after year.


"The old ways just don't work anymore. I just couldn't see it working for another 18 years. I felt bad because I kept getting this money and my colleagues are getting sacked all over the place, so many journalists losing their jobs in a paper that is writing about austerity measures and cuts."

It's a shame he can't accept that this is the way of things now... I'm sure he was very comfortably off and didn't want a reduction in his lifestyle.
The rest of the country are having to make changes, what makes this columnist any different?
I hope he is very happy at the sun, I have no interest in anyone who writes for or the content of the sun in print or online.
