Somerset County Gazette.
There are altogether too many sensitive members of society, you might like to go down there for a pie and a selfie, you might enjoy yourself and make some friends.

You haven't made a bloody coherent point yet on the subject. Yet again you fail to provide ANY evidence that any person of colour has complained about a few bloody dolls. You do know they are not 'just' dolls, don't you? 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. |

Just the height of insensitivity. Excused by a moron. It would only be objectionable to someone with special needs |

What ever take LBC and the Guardian might make of this is quite predictable. It is Mr and Mrs Riley's public house and if they wish to display inoffensive golliwogs that is their business. LBC is becoming a dreadful media outlet and should not be quoted as a reputable source of opinion. I have not seen a single balanced article on any of these Woke sites.
P.S. I think Steve had a seizure.

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. I'm sure you understand that but since you are bereft of counter argument you'll use the 'misrepresentation' tactic. A shitty tactic obviously but when has such deterred you from plumbing the depths. Surely not even you can be that ridiculously obtuse. Actually scratch that - clearly you can. How thick are you Middle? Apparently thick enough to believe these are only thoughts  |

Steve is clearly onside with those who want to lock people up for owning fluffy toys. Liberty in crisis.

I remember when this blew up (IIRC) in the eighties with the jam. Everyone thought it was silly, but it still blew up and blew up.
People relent because they have lives to lead and just want the shouting to stop.
However, once these personality types get their foot in the door, that foot isn't the end of the process. It is never over

The latest on this story is CAMRA have decided to remove their award.
Years ago as in, on Blairs watch, CAMRA loudly announced it was contacting all prospective and sitting MPs and MEPs to canvass their views on Labour party policy towards the licensed trade. But i didn't get a letter and it was fairly obvious from their lists of published contacts Andrew Brons and Nick Griffin weren’t contacted either
So i wrote to the campaign manager asking why they had missed a number of elected and prospective candidates from their campaign list. And received the most pompous reply imaginable telling me the aims of the right -leaning and worse were not compatible with CAMRA’s values.
So when membership renewal came round a few minths later i told them to fuck off
Incidentally, they didn’t canvass Farage either. I asked him …

Good God, you don't know. Nope I am waiting for you to inform me. Look it up, educate yourself, no matter what I say you will call me a liar so it's pointless. |

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. |

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. |
