The madness in the UK goes on apace. A man is taken to court for having a golliwog in his window.

If you have any classic Robertsons golliwog badges, be very afraid. The badly understaffed police may send a van load of officers round to raid your house.

Heh. And here I was, thinking they started at Calais.

Absolutely; they arrested me three times last week just for burning crosses on my next door neighbour's front lawn. I tried to explain that this is performance art, but they are philistines.

Actually that Robertson's Golliwog Badge looks a lot like the Old Black Sambo caricatures that the US got rid of in the 60's if memory serves.

I guess its safe to assume that you do not celebrate Guy Fawkes Day.

I've got a whole band of the cheery wee picaninnies!

I live ten minutes from where James Robertson started his business and the little blackamoors were in the house when I bought it so the PC police will have to pry them from my cold, dead [white] hand.

A RN in Sacramento/Folsom area claims she was fired for making comments perceived by some liberals as racist. http://fox40.com/2018/04/02/nurse-cl...k-deserved-it/ The same snowflakes would go hog wild over your golliwogs. I hope your minorities don't get "enpowered" like I am seeing in the US. Many of them have chips on their shoulders but this seemingly is a time where their complaints actually affect the people they are upset over.

How bizarre. Political correctness must be very much running amok in the UK these days.

All that old racist black caricature stuff is apparently quite collectible these days. I knew a guy that had one of the old lawn jockeys.

When I was a kid, I remember there was a very tattered copy of one of the Little Black Sambo books in the house, stashed away with some other old children's books.

I wonder if exposure to that has made me unconsciously racist? maybe I'd better turn myself in to the authorities for some diversity training.

The words there of Stormzy the grime artist who has decided to intervene and make a personal announcement on these pages
