The Mirror used to be a Nazi paper - have I entered a 6th form debating society?

I always get the sense that they are trying to stir up trouble and get people angry.
They're a retailer free to stock what they like. I didn't even realise they sold the Daily Mail. PR stunt anyway, there's no genuine sentiment in it.Banning certain sections of the media? Yeah not surprised whose liking the anti democratic feel as well
I've read it for about 5 minutes. Never read such a load of drivel in my life.So you’ve never read it. Brilliant.
So they only sell the times, the financial times and the mirror now yeah?
You're brighter than that. Censorship of what? What percentage of the population uses Virgin Trains daily? Virgin does not sell the Guardian or the Morning Star? Is that censorship or just a company selling what sells?Is that wrong though Otis? The same with the Halal thing in your post below that one. Those aren't necessarily untruths, in fact you'll probably find they are actually quite accurate.
That's the problem with the mail, they quite often post loads of shit which discredits them, but they also post a lot of stuff other media outlets aren't brave enough to cover. It means you always have to take them with a pinch of salt, but I'd also argue the censorship goes way beyond the mail as most mainstream media won't cover what they are willing to post.
I don't really buy the whipping up hate thing. The left newspapers have a simialir style and seem to get away with it. For example telling european citizens we all hate them due to Brexit, or saying white people are a disgrace to society.
I'd normally say Virgin are a business and can sell what they want, but this does seem more like an act of censorship than an outright business decision.
It's the constant and consistent scare stories they post and the agenda they put across. It's very xenophobic. It's all seemingly done in a doom and gloom, sensational, scare story way in order to create panic and anger.Is that wrong though Otis? The same with the Halal thing in your post below that one.

I do read the Metro, but then that's only because it is free. Same too with the Evening Standard.It's simple supply and demand. If there's no demand then why supply it?
The days of newspapers having the social impact they once had is greatly diminishing.
Personally when I take a trip down the west coast line, I am always connected to the Internet. Newspapers seems to be getting a little old school.
Not even a pork sword pun, double shameful
Are people really defending a publication that views being gay as a fault of someone's character?
Clearly all gays are remoaning traitor saboteurs. It’s in the gay contract that they have to sign to join the club. True story. And don’t even get me started on ex Olympian fencers. Grrr

70 copies per day of a propaganda rag will not be sold or distributed on a train or trains. The Mail is in fury.
The brexiteers, led by ban the Burka Farage, are against a ban on their favourite rag ( which is not a ban at all ).
Pathetic.

Good publicity for both Virgin and Daily Mail eh? Both can mock up some faux outrage...The point is though, if it's so insignificant to their business, why even bother announcing that they're discontinuing it?
How many copies do they sell of the other papers such as the mirror and guardian then?
Obviously not worth them stocking it. The point is though, if it's so insignificant to their business, why even bother announcing that they're discontinuing it? It's a pathetic political
Nothing more than political grandstanding Earlsdon.
Let's face it, if they're only selling 70/week then it's an utterly unimportant stock item to both VT and their customers. Discontinue it and neither party will miss it. So why bother announcing your decision to the world unless it's for political reasons.
I'll continue to travel VA Upper Class because it's the best but think I'll probably boycott his pickle. Need to make a stand.
they don't sell the Guardian. Mirror, Telegraph and FT only. Wouldn't know how you'd find out how many they sell.
Thanks for the reply but isn’t is the times, the FT and mirror?
could well be, I know it's now only 3.
Wonder why it's only the West coast franchise?
I guess you can can see why people are arguing the case a bit then as they stock 3 pro remain papers but as a leaver what can I buy on the train? Yeah sure I can buy a daily mail and take it on with me but it’s not really the point as then just get rid of all papers. Who buys a paper on the train anyway? You buy one before surely?
Or read it online.I can't figure out any rationale behind the decision to be honest unless it genuinely is down to sales.
I agree, I think most people buy a paper prior to boarding.

But not necessarily always on the front page and constantly and consistently forever pushing the same agenda over and over and over and not always so sensationalistically.All media has an agenda. Because media is run by people and every person has an agenda / opinion. I don't read any of them preferring to draw on my life experiences

We all expect it from the Sun and Mirror, but the Mail and the Express position themselves as just that bit more intelligent than those two jokey tags.
