Golliwogs................why all the fuss ??

I know we live in what could be possibly the worlds most politicaly correct country , but why all the fuss over a shop selling golliwogs ?? Golliwogs have been a part of our childhood for many many years. To say the term 'golliwog' is deeply ofensive , is total rubbish !!! Carol Thatcher was sacked by the BBC for saying Andy Murray looked like a golliwog...............He actualy does !!! A boring golliwog to be sure.
Yet that moronic imbecile Jonathon Ross , is still on our screens !!! For saying far worse than Carol .
Once again , we just go to show the rest of the world what total arseholes run this country !!

Spent the evening with my 86 year old gran tonight, she said exactly the same thing, and my gran has a gollywog fridge magnet and a pot ornament of a gollywog, WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO????? im getting just about sick of this nanny state!!!!

ahhh the old racism debate
shall we sue robinsons jams for once picturing gollywogs on their jars?
its just an adjective
shall we ban brown black and yellow from our colour matrix as well
what about white?
can you be racist for calling someone white?

Baa Baa black sheep !!! I had forgotten all about that one !! Banned !! A nusery rhyme from many years ago, banned because of one little word !! That has got me thinking if any other rhymes have , or could have been banned because of a supposedly offensive word. The politicaly correct brigade are working overtime to make sure that we don't say ANYTHING that could even remotely be considered as being offensive to anyone with a slighter darker skin tone than us.
I totaly agree with Shell.............................it does make your blood boil !!

[FONT="Tahoma"][SIZE="2"]about that bah bah black sheep..

and when black boards got banned in schools, that was the final point for me
how many of ya's (including me) were brought up with the standard black board, none of these interactive boards!!
oh and black boards were deemed offensive to black people...
should we of kicked up a fuss and said white boards, that offensive to white people

there was a black board in our class rooms gem, and there was also a golliwog on the robbinsons jam pots. my mother bort a giant golliwog for my eldest when she was about 3 year old, one night when i was laying in bed my hubby was holding the golliwog over my head, it was dark and i was just driffting to sleep, when i spotted this shape hovering over me. i sh1t myself and punched the hell out out of that golliwog. it reminded me of that stuffed toy under the bed in the poltergiest film. it gave me the e g be bees lol. i still got the golliwog in the attic , and last year i bort my youngest daughter a golliwog in devon. it sits on her bedroom cupboard. i no this sounds daft but no offence to black people but how the hell can anyone be offended by a stuffed toy. its like white peeps being offended for making a snowman, that will be banned next cos there should be white black, yellow red oh hell a multi coloured snowman. this is becoming insane. ime not raciest in anyform poss, theres only one race and thats the human race. there is gd and bad in all people reguardless of there colour. lets hope they dont ban teddybears, 4 the sake of not upsetting the grizzleys lol.
