Justice for Men & Boys 
Hello J4MB. I wrote: “We live in an anti-male society where men and boys are increasingly marginalised and demonised. But we didn’t start the fire, so don’t expect us all to suddenly become firemen…”
Comment deleted – nothing unusual. Comment had 1000 green arrows and 300 red arrows last time I looked:
“We have received a number of complaints about the comment you made on article “The £49bn bill we pay for children who can’t celebrate Father’s Day: The devastating financial – and human – cost of our fatherless society” (/news/article-2342171/The-49bn-pay-children-celebrate-Fathers-Day-The-devastating-financial–human–cost-fatherless-society.html), 16/06/2013 at 02:55

I’ve written another comment.

Nick, thanks for this. These people seek to control the narrative, even in the internet age. The level of censorship on newspaper article comment streams is scandalous. It’s all very reminiscent of Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four isn’t it? But they’re on the wrong side of history, and they surely understand that more with every passing year.
