Facebook fallout over 'faggots and peas'

Available for over a year

A Black Country history group on Facebook has received an apology after the admin was suspended for posting about faggots and peas. The entire Pensnett, Brierly Hill and Black Country Now and Then History Group was threatened with closure by the social media giant after it flagged the posts as 'derogatory.' Facebook has now said sorry after receiving clarification that it was in reference to the classic local dish.
