There'll be another along in a minute.

Some years ago there was a company not far away from where I live who were in the business of disposing of industrial waste.  Justifiably or not, they got a bad reputation, and local residents picketed their premises with placards, and wrote angry letters to the local press.  So the company closed down, and the protesters hailed victory and put their placards away and went back home.  Less than twelve months later with no publicity a new company started up on the same premises doing exactly the same job - it was of course the same people - they'd just changed the name.  What do you bet that within a short period News International introduce a new Sunday newspaper - it will be the News of the World reborn, it will just have a different name.
