Are you in the UK? Tell Trading Standards. This feels like a breach of The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013

I am in the US

The nuclear option -- but the one that has always seemed to quickly take care of the issue when nothing else would -- is calling the credit card company and initiating a chargeback.

Pro-tip: always read the fine print when signing up for "free" trials, especially when you have to provide billing info up front.

Seems to be a common theme, the Times is also very hard to get away from. Shows a lack of confidence in their product - unlike prime and netflix which are very easy to cancel.

I sent an email and got a reply in two days confirming cancellation. Not very difficult.

Didn’t work for me. I will try SMS route next.

Really? Im sure I was able to cancel and renew easily using their SMS system.

Thanks, I will try that. I used email.
