Newport will now be classed as a worldwide failure. Newport deserves to be embarrassed in front of the billions watching the Ryder Cup. Now I know that the Argus editor is on the board I will never buy the paper again. I urge everyone else to BOYCOTT THE ARGUS. Thankfully this will be my last ever post here.

Didn't you know he was on the board then? Well, I only discovered that recently but it's no surprise. The Argus isn't really a newspaper these days - it's a newsletter. Gone are the days when it would have asked searching questions about fiascoes like this and demanded some answers. It's no longer independent and the fact that the editor sits on the board of the entity partly responsible for this mess his impartiality is seriously compromised. As I said, the Argus is just the messenger - and you should never shoot the messenger!"
