..if we took away all of the racist/stereotype negative attachments to golliwogs, which there are...if we replaced the ‘display of dolls’ in such a prominent quantity as is reported, with clown dolls or dolls of ‘days gone by’, which could be very ‘creepy’ by nature and would make some feel very uncomfortable, in their display...so would deter from drinking in the pub, surely that would be something the pub owner would consider in losing some potential custom because it’s a business../his livelihood...so he wouldn’t think...oh, I’m going to make a stand with these dolls, I like them very much and you can take them or leave them, you’re jus5 being very PC..and if they offend you, then just don’t come here...so the fact that he’s essentially doing that, is very odd I feel.../..almost like business suicide, to adopt such an adamant stance when his whole business caters to not offending any public..either deliberately or unintentionally...I’m not sure if it’s a family pub or a drinking pub, but if it were me and a child for instance, who felt uncomfortable with a doll../..any doll...I would remove the doll and think I probably wouldn’t put it back again when they had left because it had in some way ‘offended’ or upset...
