I wasn't talking about them "bleeping" quotes, but about the journalists themselves swearing in opinion pieces.
> Is there, I wonder, a more appropriate phrase than “fuck off”? I don’t want to swear unnecessarily but, historically, people have found the expression useful. It’s certainly earned its place in common usage. And I have to ask myself, if we don’t tell Theresa May to fuck off, what on earth are we saving it for?

- corin_ 7y agoI guess it depends on your definition of "journalist", but the author of the piece you linked definitely wouldn't call himself one. He's a comedian, actor, TV writer, etc. and for the Guardian he writes humorous columns.
