Associated Newspapers drew first blood in the London free newspaper war with News International today by rushing out an early version of its new free daily paper, London Lite.

Here’s the front page:

And here’s page 3, leading with a story about Peaches Geldorf:

One interesting feature of London Lite is its intention to be “an interactive paper for the internet age”. Readers will be encouraged to contribute to the paper via the existing Evening Standard website at thisislondon.co.uk/chat.

The messages e-mailed or submitted to the site will be printed in a user-generated content section of the new London freesheet is called This is London’s Messageboard:

   What an atrocious name. London Lite? London Shite more like. I notice there’s even an article about “Dumbing Down” in there too- oh the irony.
