UK protests limit Island's supply of newspapers

Saturday, 5 September 2020 07:10

GE White says not all publications arrived this morning due to blockades

Protests targeting printing presses in the UK have affected the supply of newspapers to the Isle of Man today.

Wholesaler GE White says Extinction Rebellion's blockades prevented vehicles leaving a number of major print plants.

As a result, the Daily Mail, the Sun, the Times, the Telegraph and the Financial Times haven't arrived on the Island today.

GE White is apologising to retail customers and readers, but says circumstances are beyond its control.
