Pretty sure I’ve seen The Sun offered in the lounges for quite a while now, along with The Mirror...

So any non-partisan, non affiliated, not-at-all-popular newpapers that are not used by airlines deemed lower (or is it higher) in the food-chain than BA. Easy!

In the cloakrooms - cut in squares, hanging on a nail?

Maybe 20 years ago, about the time when Hislop was funny. HIIGFY of the early 90s was very good.

Good riddance to the Daily Fail.

And it's not a "freedom of speech" or censorship issue; no one is stopping anyone from buying their own copy to read wherever they want to read it. I'll just be glad not to have to see it on the newspaper carts in the boarding area, because to me it always implied a tacit endorsement of the paper on the part of the airline.

This thread is the reason some people dont bother with social media. Just come across this thread. What has this and newspapers got to do with anything. Why bring politics into this, isn't Omni thread or something for that.

Isn't this forum about flying anymore???

Edit. All people have different views on stuff. We all like flying and airports and things, there's no need to slate people who read anything surely... Mail. Guardian, sun. Whatever. I say, each to their own

Just seen this is from December. Should be archived this thread 😀

It's no different in GF. Once the afternoon comes it's foreign language newspapers and The Sun left.

BA can supply whatever complimentary papers they wish, it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

The day they start forcing me to read a certain newspaper, then I'll be the first to complain.

Then get rid of all newspapers then. I don't want to see the lies from the Grauniad and "Independent" (my ar**)
I want to see proper right wing papers such as the great daily mail and Telegraph and Express just to pee off people like you, the snowflakes :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0

I have noticed that there seems to be less and less to read. Just the Times and FT at LGW recently, plus all those dreary freebie Golf and Yachting Mags. Back in the old days at LGW North there was a much wider range. Whither Country Life? Vogue.?
