Original sentence: In June 2009, Carmichael was involved in a successful campaign to ban the book, "Chucking it All: How Downsizing To A Windswept Scottish Island Did Absolutely Nothing to Improve My Life", an irreverent account of the author's experience downshifting from Manchester to Orkney, which Carmichael said was "hurtful and vindictive", and attacked a number of "clearly identifiable" residents of the Islands
Edited sentence: Although he told the Scotsman that ""I am a liberal and am not about banning books and ultimately it was their decision whether or not they published the book..... I would love to have that power and influence, but the reality is rather different"  the Independent later reported him as saying "Mr Carmichael insisted it was never his intention to get it banned altogether, but objected to the author's "hurtful and vindictive" lampooning of several residents, whom he argued were "clearly identifiable" and would have their reputations damaged if the book were published in its existing form".He found his Liberal principles in minor hot water in June 2009 when he was instrumental in having a humorous book about life in Orkney banned
