James Kirkpatrick - VDare: GUARDIAN Closes Comments Section On Immigration; Expresses Loathing Of Readers - "Rumors are already swirling that Twitter is preparing a massive purge of #AltRight and conservative accounts in order to turn its service into a giant liberal hugbox."

2015 was a breakthrough year for immigration patriots, both conservatives and what is sometimes called the #AltRight. As expected, 2016 is going to be a year of repression as the Left moves to simply prohibit discussion of the problems it has created.
It will start with the comment sections. The Guardian is moving to flat out prohibit comments on important issues, especially those that have to do with immigration. ...

     Which is funnier? One, that reader comments might disturb the delicate sensibilities of reporters? Or, two, that in referring to the "consternation and concern" of the Guardian's "readers," the Guardian is, by definition, deciding that anyone arguing against the Establishment's open-borders migration policies is not one of their readers? Since it is highly doubtful that anyone in the throws of such painful concern and consternation at such critical comments will have written those comments or is someone who wholeheartedly agrees with them.
