Quite a sinister new development appears to be occurring on trains recently - people are now trying to police what you can and can't read. Regardsless of your views on a particular publication, we have a free press nevertheless.

Cue, however, hundreds of "liberals" wetting themselves with amusement over this whilst failing entirely to see their parallels to the Nazi book bonfire

True, but if the same sticker went up about reading the Guardian, I imagine the outcry would be x1000 worse...

Haven't bought a newspaper in over 20 years, would if I saw one of those though. Only to leave it on the seat you understand.

It's by a comedian ("Mark Steel's in Town" and "My Life in Serious Organised Crime" are hilarious), but it's not a joke.

It's saying :

"If you read this newspaper, you are in a minority. A pathetic, filthy minority that ought to be ashamed of itself, and stay away from decent, proper people. A minority which needs to be derided, marginalised, and forced to shut up and hide itself before dying quietly out. A minority which, should it attempt to defend itself, will be attacked using the foulest possible language and epithets, and probably the odd brick, stick, and fist too, because that's what it deserves."

And that is right out of the NSDAP manual.

Nothing more guaranteed to make me buy the Mail.

Mind you, I wouldn't get on the train if you bribed me with free Charlie and hooks.

Quotation marks are for things that have been said, hence they're called quotation marks.. The voices in your head don't get quotation marks, because you can't quote the make believe that's happening in your imagination, well not with out coming across as very silly.

Btw Its already been attributed to Mark Thomas, which seems more likely than Mark Steel. They're both pinko lefty R4 lovies but Mark steel is the one who takes the piss out of where you live, Mark Thomas takes the piss out of you.... Yes YOU.

Why is he referred to as a comedian? I went to see his live "show" once, it was fking awful. The 1st half was dire then the 2nd half was a lecture about Coca Cola stealing water and even less funny more like a 6th form sociology lecture. He had the nerve to question why I was leaving...so I told him.
