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.

You can choose to ignore evidence that doesn't suit your own narrative but don't belittle people for actually paying attention to what's been said whether it benefits their point of view or not.

You would not walk into a shop and scream censorship if they didn't stock your newspaper of choice so why scream censorship here?

I'm guessing it's because you seem to misunderstand that the railways are privatised and they can choose what they want to sell on those trains. It's not a government controlled venture, it's a business. Would you cry censorship if it was a left leaning paper? I'm guessing you would be quite silent on the issue if that was the case.

Also the censorship argument falls flat on another level, The Daily Mail is not banned on these trains, you aren't going to get it taken off you if you read it on a Virgin train so to cry censorship is just plain silly, choosing not to sell an item is not censorship. It's just a ridiculous reach to say that it is.
