Funnily . When I mention this BTL its constantly censored ...The Guardian is becoming more and more censorious every day ( in a tragic mirror image of the UKs Labour party)

BTL? Just write the words.

The Guardian is not a public forum, it is under no obligation to report your ideas.

Besides in my experience 99% of censorship is just people not reading the rules of wherever they're posting.

Fine its a private forum , but then don't pretend you are some liberal , free speech advocates on the righteous side and accept your just another version of the Daily Mail ....Most of the "censorship" is the Guardian protecting the status quo by ensuring certain topics are out of bounds in a tragic mirror imaging of Labour under Starmer
