 The comment box on the Independent Newspaper website says,
 <textarea required="" data-amp-bind-disabled="!userState.hasNickname" i
 -amphtml-binding="" placeholder="Write a reply..." name="comment" class
 ="comment-field logged-in" disabled=""></textarea>

 so it's disabled. Not clear why Tor stops the Independent from enabling
 the comment field when one logs in.
