But they're not closing down freedom of speech at all. If anything SFH are exercising their right to freedom of speech by campaigning against them. Just as you're entitled to lobby on behalf of the Daily Mail if it's something you support.
Can I start Startfundinghate?Can't see the authorities being happy with that one...
I was about to post on this too.
f
king pathetic - a bunch of SJW screeching about the nasty DM (or if not them the 'nasty' Tories, or 'nasty' bankers... actually 'nasty' anyone who disagrees with them).
I'm happy to boycott paperchase for having all the moral fibre of wet newspaper (or, indeed, a politician - much the same TBH).
FWIW I'm not fan of the DM but they're no better (or indeed worse) than most of the other rags

That's very true Ed.
I love how people sooo hate the Wail. But also think Stopfundinghate is 'nice and fluffy' with no ulterior agenda. Sad fkers!
Paperchase's apology is, well, talk about pathetic and rolling over like a puppy.
However, the gut feeling is this has a lot to do with their expensive front page ad turning out to be a total and utter costly flop!
Paperchase is a million miles from WHSmith, or similar - ie it has fk all outlets in the UK to allow Wail buyers to 'pop in and get their 2 Xmas rolls of wrap for free.
I confess to never having heard of them but got some further insight as my neighbour 'gets' the Wail on Sat (she always has it at the weekend - why? She spends a tenner in Waitrose on Sat and Sun so gets it free!).
We were talking Xmas yesterday and she actually mentioned this offer was a bit a fraud.
Paperchase has far too few outlets to warrant a front page ad on any national, let alone the Wail.
She said the nearest to us was 50 miles away. So that made the 'freebie' a non starter then!
Never mind she thought, and went online to their website to get her 'free' rolls but then got the sting and found p/p was £1.99 and delivery 'within 28 days'..
Not worth the effort for two rolls of wrap she could buy for that price anyway!
Paperchase has lost a bag of cash. You and I know where it is!
I'm not sure this has been a big fail for the company. It went in to make its name familiar and its offer circulated and look what's happened. Clever, although probably a bit short term.

Mention the word free and you'll get lots of people interested. It's a truism of advertising.

So support the free market. Unless some people are using the free market and we don't like them?
I'm confused about how people using the market to change corporate behaviour goes against ideas of a free market.
Basically yes, because this thread would have gone exactly the same way if it were The Guardian involved I'm confused about how people using the market to change corporate behaviour goes against ideas of a free market.

The public sector.ks. Who advertises in The Guardian? The Beeb also orders more 'physical' copies of the Grauniad than any other paper.
It spends £139,000 a year on buying the Guardian - ie: 1,300 copies a week, yet as everyone who reads its 'pleading please give us a fiver, please to save us from extinction! website, it's of course, FREE online!

Can't be, the Guardian only sells 400 a year. The Beeb also orders more 'physical' copies of the Grauniad than any other paper.
