They offered me £29 for the year.

I thought it was a bit of a nerve, but I bit as at times when I have lapsed previously I have missed having access.

So it was up for renewal and this morning I received my notification that in 10 days I would be charged £239 for the year.

I called to cancel. The representative acknowledged it was quite a leap and offered to keep me at £29, which I declined.

I advised him that the ethics and principles of the Telegraph is counter to mine. That they can try and glean a 824% increase out of loyal subscribers and maybe get away with some, is appalling.

So on that basis, they would lose me as a subscriber.
Well the Telegraph is currently bankrupt and owned by its banks.

Arguably it has been bankrupt in integrity et al since the Barclay brothers bought it.

My mother recently cancelled her subscription and I no longer see it regularly.

I don't miss it.
