The cunting Daily Mail thread.

[Chris]

I'd say The Daily Mail was DIRECTLY in line with Branson's morals... the tax dodging cunt.

VT brand, yeh yeh.

Virgin Trains has stopped stocking copies of the Daily Mail in its on-board shops after staff complained about the paper’s stance on immigration, gay rights and unemployment.

 

Richard Branson’s company also said the newspaper was “not compatible” with the company’s brand and beliefs. Branson has previously been critical of the vote to leave the EU and Donald Trump’s “Muslim” migration ban.

 

A Virgin Trains spokesperson told Press Gazette: “We regularly review the products we have on sale for customers on-board our trains, and after listening to feedback from our people we have decided that we will no longer stock copies of the Daily Mail on services on our west coast route.”

 

In an internal memo, seen by PR Week, Virgin Trains staff were told: “Thousands of people choose to read the Daily Mail every day. But they will no longer be reading it courtesy of VT [Virgin Trains].

 

 

“There’s been considerable concern raised by colleagues about the Mail’s editorial position on issues such as immigration, LGBT rights, and unemployment.

 

“We’ve decided that this paper is not compatible with the VT brand and our beliefs. We won’t be stocking the Daily Mail for sale or as a giveaway.”

 

The Daily Mail and other right-wing newspapers are the target of a campaign by Stop Funding Hate to persuade companies not to advertise or run promotions with them.

 

Stationery company Paperchase were criticised after they apologised for advertising in the Daily Mail last November. Lego and The Body Shop have also announced that they will no longer run promotions in the paper.

 

A Daily Mail spokesperson said: “It is disgraceful that, at a time of massive customer dissatisfaction over ever-increasing rail fares, and after the taxpayer was forced to bail out Virgin’s East Coast mainline franchise – a decision strongly criticised by the Mail – that Virgin Trains should now announce that for political reasons it is censoring the choice of newspapers it offers to passengers.

 

“It is equally rich that Virgin chose to launch this attack on free speech in the ASLEF trade union journal.

 

“For the record Virgin used to sell only 70 Daily Mails a day. They informed us last November that to save space, they were restricting sales to just three newspapers: the Mirror, FT and Times.

 

“They gave no other reason, but it may be no coincidence that all those titles, like Virgin owner Sir Richard Branson, are pro-Remain.”

 

A tweet by a reporter at the Mail,

At the Mail, gay journalists have senior positions across news, politics, features. The Mail had the first gay sports editor. Banning the Mail - and content written by many proud gay people - is a political decision that has nothing to do with journalism

So are we saying that gay people are hate-filled xenophobes? Well it certainly puts a different light on ISIS chucking them off the top of a building.

Farridge tweeted that it's wrong to ban something just because you don't like it.

 

Inevitably, loads of people replied with examples of Farridge calling for stuff to be banned just because he doesn't like it.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Richard Littlejohn deserves cancer.

[Jairzinho]

I would ban UKIP, Virgin, Nigel Farage, Richard Branson, and Richard LittleJohn.

 

Ban them with fire.

[Stickman]

I see that poisonous twta Littlejohn iis back in the news, well,he was hardly going to let this pass this week without his usual vitriol

 

Centre Parcs have now "lodged" a complaint against him now...

I see virgin have quietly started selling the mail again

[Lee909]

On Branson say so

No surprise really, think the sheen of his "one of the people" has long since slipped

 

 

Would happily see Virgin collapse, well after they've flown me to Florida

[Jairzinho]

Branson is one of the biggest cunts on the planet.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Best thing he did was absail down a building and scrape his arse the entire way down.

I love the Stop Funding Hate campaign. Hit the bastards in the pocket.

[Creator Supreme]

Is Branson still suing the NHS?

@thesundaysport: Ha! We're looking to pick up all that juicy @CenterParcsUK advertising now that they've deserted the Mail #FilthNotHate

So much for Trinity Mirror saying they weren't going to interfere with political stance of the express or the starkers!

 

Shouldn't be too long before Richard Desmond's head explodes!

I heard that the Scum was pushing it.

 

Two years after a right-wing terrorist murdered an MP and one month after another right-wing terrorist murderer told a court that he had hoped to murder Jeremy Corbyn, the extremist rags are turning up the dial on the "Corbyn is a traitor" lie.

 

It's a vile, dangerous and deliberate attempt to radicalise some nutjob over the edge.

Haven't MI5 been keeping tabs on Corbyn for thirty odd years?

Funny how they seemed to miss that.

Yeah, shocking. Stuff like that could make you think it's complete bollocks.

[SasaS]

Well, Corbyn was in the IRA and this is 1986, they are getting weapons from Libya and Libya is chummy with the Soviet block, so, put the two and two together. .  .

I wonder how they will cover Bolton getting the bullet as leader of their favourite party?

If only that were true.....and hopefully the ricochet takes out Fargae too
