Another major Liverpool supermarket has stopped selling The S*n because there is āno demandā for it.
Tescoās Allerton Road superstore has withdrawn the reviled tabloid from its shelves this week.
It comes after around 100 city shops stopped selling the newspaper in recent months because of mounting public pressure, according to campaigners.
And the ECHO earlier revealed how the Unite trade union is calling for a meeting with Sainsburyās bosses after workers expressed concern about The S*n being on sale in Liverpool stores.
Asked about The S*n being pulled from the shelves of Tescoās Allerton Road superstore, a spokesman said: āWe stock all major local and national newspaper titles in our stores and we are always listening to the feedback that our customers give us.
āIn stores where there is no demand for a particular title, that store would not receive that particular publication.ā
The spokesman confirmed The S*n was withdrawn from sale this week.
The Total Eclipse of The S*n campaign group was set up earlier this year to pressure shops into no longer selling the newspaper.
Paul Collins and Alan Gordon, two of the founders of the movement, previously said in a statement: āIn less than eight weeks we have driven The S*n newspaper out of more than 100 newsagents and establishments in Liverpool, including major supermarkets and major petrol stations.ā
The campaign was officially endorsed by the ruling Labour group of Liverpool city council and protests have taken place outside some shops, including Morrisons in Speke and the Sainsburyās store on East Prescot Road, Knotty Ash.
The S*n has been boycotted in Merseyside ever since its shameful coverage of the Hillsborough disaster in 1989.
