I dont really care though, this is literally affecting tens of people a tiny amount. They now have to buy their paper before the train. Oh ****ing no.

Did you read the article?
Quote:
And Drew McMillan, head of colleague communication and engagement at Virgin, told staff in an internal memo: "Thousands of people choose to read the Daily Mail every day. But they will no longer be reading it courtesy of VT.
"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 will continue to offer The Times to customers, but we won't be stocking the Daily Mail for sale or as a giveaway.
"This won't suit all of our customers or all of our people - it's certain to draw some criticism. But we've listened to many colleagues over the last few months, and we feel that this is the right move to take."

The article states they still sell the Mirror, the FT and the Times.
I'm surprised at how many on here are making excuses for this censorship and ignoring all this and only bleating about 'they only sell 1 for every 4 trains. It's quite hilarious to read.
