Virgin caves in to the Daily Fail

Very disappointing.

Virgin Trains had said the decision came after "feedback from our people". But Sir Richard said he was unaware of the move and the operator must never be seen to be "censoring" customers.

It's not censorship ! Retailers aren't compelled to sell every newspaper, and they shouldn't be compelled to sell specific newspapers by the media.

    Ahhhh. There is a difference between censor, censure, and the the invisible hand of the marketplace.
