[quote]Virgin Trains has announced that it has stopped selling the Daily Mail newspaper on its West Coast trains.

A spokesperson for Virgin said it regularly reviewed products sold on its trains, adding that "after listening to feedback from our people" it decided to stop stocking copies of the paper.

A Daily Mail spokesman called the decision "disgraceful".

Last year, stationery chain Paperchase apologised for a promotional giveaway in the Mail following criticism.[/quote]
[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."[/quote]

The Mail is becoming a genuinely toxic brand?

What about Chad locomotives?

I knew it, I knew they'd manage to bring it in somewhere!

It's perhaps not surprising; the UK rail network is mostly run by European franchises :v:

I imagine they must be scrambling to figure out what to do with/about Brexit.

Good, it's a hate spewing piece of non-news garbage.

Further evidence anything Farage is adamantly against means it's the right thing it seems.
