I remember the last time the guardian did this. They got 1000 comments in a day telling them they were full of shit, from their own readers across the political spectrum.

Now they just turn the comments off.

The left didn't tell them off. The left's whole thing is "white people bad".

The Guardian turned comments off because tons of non-leftists crushed them again and again, showing how they were full of shit, and The Guardian got tired of the commoners talking back to them. So they did what leftists usually do: censor anything they don't like.

Including on that story.
