But I am educated, but I am always ready to learn from those who have superior knowledge to my own. Sarcasm actually suits you.🤣 Avoidance suits you better dead nag. |

We accepted that they are not 'just' dolls decades ago when they were described as racist tropes. People of colour were called gollywogs, later shortened to wogs as a discriminatory slur. Why would we want want to go back to the 1969s/70s. Either you are too young to remember or you are being deliberately The government’s obtuse. There is nothing racist about Golly's. It's just a figment of your collectivist imagination that would label a black doll as racist.
WOG is an acronym that isn't in anyway racist. People may have used it in a provocative or insulting way, but that's because you keep claiming it's a racist word. It is an acronym for what? In English it is a racist slur, people know this but would love to bring it back into use. I notice you just use the word golly and not their full title. |

So you think that someone should be punished in the absense of any law being broken simply for wrongthink? I believe that Orwell wrote a book about that.
No, maybe you need to get a book to learn how to read. Those of us that can read know I was referring to intentional display intended to offend those of colour. Not think but actual anti social behaviour... In your head. But no crime was committed. No real people were offended. It's just more lefty wokery. Just because you (and the the similarly afflicted) happen to believe it doesn't make it a real thing. Sorry to break it to you. |

We accepted that they are not 'just' dolls decades ago... No “We” didn't (see above). And the rest of your post is factually incorrect. |

They are just dolls. If we accept they are not just dolls then that also raises issues as regards those that want them removed and those that want to keep them which plays nicely into the culture wars. We accepted that they are not 'just' dolls decades ago when they were described as racist tropes. People of colour were called gollywogs, later shortened to wogs as a discriminatory slur. Why would we want want to go back to the 1969s/70s. Either you are too young to remember or you are being deliberately The government’s obtuse. No that was not accepted, they may have been described by some as racist tropes but that does not make them anything other than just dolls. People of whiteness were called milky bars it does not mean we ban white chocolate. Moving on from the 60s and 70s was not the problem, how far it has been taken is the problem. |

These 'we' people are forever speaking on our behalf, most of us can speak for ourselves thanks, many of us are not 'we', most of us are pissed off with the we people, don't get conffused with 'we' & 'us', most of us were not the we who 'accepted that they are not just dolls'.

Cracker is a derogatory description for white people.
So we spoil Xmas and cheese by banning crackers right?
Lefties are very selective in their quest to ban stuff.

No. There was no referendum There was a referendum and leave won but no one knew what leave they wanted, a hard Brexit was forced on the millions of leave voters that did not want a hard Brexit. |
