No. Why did they ban it?

Private Eye ran a feature following the death of Diana Princess of Wales in 1997, highlighting "public's hypocrisy in buying newspapers that they were then blaming for her death". http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media ... 41042.html

Back in the day, I used to have a permanent order for (ahem) Aquarist and Pondkeeper at a WH Smith shop in Huddersfield.
Then WHS banned Private Eye (anyone round here old enough to remember that event?).

See what I did there, fish, gutted, fish...
