The Sun's 'This is Our Britain' Wednesday wraparound announcing the advent of the digital age has received a mixed response. Twitter, inevitably, was the least kind. The official Sun account merited less than 100 retweets when it posted the wraparound url. Over at The Sunday People a parody was speedily put together. Out went Stonehenge, Windsor Castle, the Red Arrows and Glastonbury; in came an eclectic – some might say multi-layered – version featuring a giant panda, the US space shuttle, Sue Pollard, two onions and a screaming "Wahey" headline. Result 378 RTs at the last count.
