    Superb. Revenue has soared too as a result (obviously); decent pay rises will keep existing staff – directly responsible for this unalloyed success story – happy; and more experienced journalists (reporters and subs) will be taken on to accelerate the profitable progress made so far. Everyone’s a winner! And some say HTFP is a tale of woe these days. Shame on you!
