I can see why they want to ban it as some of the fans that died where from the Wirral but its way too late now its time to move on past this. We never hear about the 56 killed in the Bradford fire or 33 killed in the Burnden Park Disaster every year.

If I am a newsagent, I will stock (or not) whatever papers my Customers want to buy, they have the right to choose. If I am buying a newspaper, I will decide what paper I will buy (or not).
I don't need Wirral Council (or anybody else in any level of Government) telling me what Press I can or can't read or what my newsagent is allowed to sell. "Freedom of the Press" is an important (nay, vital!) part of a free democratic society and this reeks of censorship / Governmental overreach. Imagine if a Conservative Government banned the Guardian, or the BBC... and so on and so on...!
Like many have said, I would not buy the S*n myself but that is and should remain MY personal choice. I don't mind anyone campaigning til they are blue in the face to persuade people not to buy it, that is perfectly fine.

The Council hasn't banned anything, they have backed the campaign that discourages the sale of the shun and have asked newsagents not to stock it.

Someone should correct the subject line of this topic?
I would still disagree with a local (or any other) Government entity asking or supporting a campaign asking newsagents not to stock it (as long as it's legally a Newspaper).
They can all day long ask the people not to buy it, that is perfectly fine.
These are two very different things.

This is Wirral Council who are still planning on producing their own monthly newspaper despite it being made absolutely clear by the Government that they are not allowed to do so.
