It's the final straw for many in this country that multiculturalism has reached the royal family and tainted their blue bloods.It must make their blood boil while they seeth with hate and disgust..

Happy times.

So far nobody on this thread has condemned Jo Marney's tweets.

Going from what you've implied above it means you agree with them.

Apparently these comments were taken out of context.

So for those keeping score, "Taken out of context" has become a rightwing canned term meaning "I don't want to accept responsibility for what I said".

Instead quoting your own 'facts', one of which was that Labour hadn't been in government "for over 10 years".

Sadly that'll never happen. The ideas and ideaologies, both social and political will always exist, books, internet, peoples minds. The good news though is that now the social repercutions for expressing such views are pretty damning in themselves.

Think of what any future employer will think of her.

Seeing as the defense being used is "out of context" and not "completely untrue", which means the person involved is admitting it happened, I think you can give this little pantomime a rest.

Don't see Richard Branson admitting to it being a PR disaster...but then im guessing your quoting the Daily Fail. heres Virgins press release...and tbh its old news seen as it was removed in November...more spin from you yet again i suspect

When Virgin Trains took the decision back in November to remove the Daily Mail from sale, it was not part of some grand campaign or at my behest – indeed Brian Souter and I were not aware of the decision until we read the media reports this week.

The decision was made in response to feedback from some of our Virgin Trains employees. Brian and I respect our people when they make decisions and we listen to their views. It is the way we have always run our companies.

But we must also listen to the concerns voiced widely this week – by those who agree with the Mail’s editorial stance and those who vehemently disagree with it – that this move has been seen as censorship.

Freedom of speech, freedom of choice and tolerance for differing views are the core principles of any free and open society. While Virgin Trains has always said that their passengers are free to read whatever newspaper they choose on board West Coast trains, it is clear that on this occasion the decision to no longer sell The Mail has not been seen to live up to these principles.

Brian and I agree that we must not ever be seen to be censoring what our customers read and influencing their freedom of choice. Nor must we be seen to be moralising on behalf of others. Instead we should stand up for the values we hold dear and defend them publicly, as I have done with the Mail on many issues over the years.

So Brian and I have instructed our team at Virgin Trains to reconsider this decision and re-stock the Daily Mail while they undertake a full review of their sales policy, making clear that this policy should not single out individual media titles.

No mention of a PR disaster there

Atrocious behaviour and the party leaders involvement with her speaks volumes about the party. He's now complaining that there's another witch hunt underway - their typical behaviour, moaning, gloating and revealing their inadequacies for holding morally appropriate vision.
