Indo has constant failure of Brit-rinsing copy since subs were judged dispensable.

  In fairness though, they did keep the original authors name.

No, quite correct. Indo is Paddy Englishman’s go to read.

The Indo has bought filler copy of the Telegraph since God was a boy. Oddly enough, the tabloids are the only papers that keep a full cohort of subs these days as such a high proportion of their content is lifted straight from their London stablemates and has to be scrubbed. That and the dodgy headlines.
