Why was my post removed

Why was my satirical humour and topical post removed?

The two pictures of three very tanned politicians along with the topical issue comment regarding the lack of ethnic MPs on the benches, was nothing different from what is constantly shown on the TV programme "Have I Got News for You".

It makes one wonder, whether or not to continue and join in recreational debate, with groups of persons ( I nearly said individuals, but that would have been inappropriate) who are so narrow minded, that they only want to join in with persons that are clones of themselves, and insist that nothing is posted unless they themselves agree with it.

You're the very definition of satirical humour.

It's a shame other peop-... sorry, other 'persons'... don't appreciate you like I do.

possibly because you did not remove your top hat before posting. We do have some standards here, after all.

[ummmm]

They Ed might not have liked it.

Hi AOG,

What was the post titled?

Equally, is it not possible that the post itself may have been a "misjudgement" - it does happen to the best of us.

On a side note: if HIGNFY is satire we're in a very sorry state!

Re- headline not too sure now but I believe it was something like this, "Lack of black faces on benches"

/// On a side note: if HIGNFY is satire we're in a very sorry state! ///

I think that is purely a mater of personal opinion, it fits the definition of "Satire"--- criticism through ridicule, irony or sarcasm.

It might have been banned for being hugely inaccurate and badly researched, like the majority of your posts.

Far from there being few darkies in the Government, the number of ethnic minority MPs has doubled - and there is a record number of muslims.
