1. Why is this likely? Monbiot gave the charge for 24 hour access, but there would obviously be a charge for a year's subscription that he does not cite. 2. Since I had taken out a subscription at £2 per week prior to Monbiot's article in 2011 I know it is has not changed!

This is the case for people without a subscription who want to access specific articles, but thebasic subscription covering both the Times and Sunday Times (which have different editors and journalists) is £2 per week. (The Sunday Times alone costs £2.50.)
