News International is to sell its Wapping site in east London, the newspaper publisher has said.

Its stable of titles - which includes the Sun, the Times and the Sunday Times - will be entirely relocated to its nearby Thomas More Square base.

The Wapping site was also where the News of the World was based until its closure amid the phone-hacking scandal.

The company said "current market conditions" led to a decision "not to proceed with remodelling" Wapping.

I will assume that if anyone comments they do at least have some knowledge of the history of the Wapping site.

1. As in "Battle of Wapping"?

A reading from the Good News according to St. Margaret, the Thatcher, Chapter One, verses 1-4.

All rise.

1. That which is, can be bought or sold. 2. That which cannot be bought or sold, is not. 3. Everything private is better than anything public is, or could ever be. 4. So long as one of God’s people, somewhere, is covered by a collective bargaining agreement, none of us can truly be free.

Here endeth the lesson.

2. I'm pleased you looked it up assuming you didn't already know.

Yes - I had friends in the print caught up in that debacle which lasted a year. That coincided with the miners strike so some them got drafted up north to help out there as well.

3. Anyone interested in labor...

...issues -- even without the 'u' -- doesn't have to look that up.

Now how's about a group-sing of "We Work the Black Seam"?
