The Guardian has continued its combative response to The Times and Sunday Times paywall move by publishing a tongue in cheek online welcome letter to Times readers locked out by the paywall move.

John Crace writes “Here at the Guardian we can offer everything you ever wanted from the Times – and more – for nothing”.

On Friday The Guardian announced that it had signed up the legal blogger Tim Kevan, who resigned from The Times website in protest at the paywall move.
