Says you. Its just a doll from a bygone age. Its says nothing about today or race. Trying to airbrush it out of existence is not a way forward. In many ways its important to understand exactly what it is and was is important for young people. Yes you dont want it as a new CBBC character but pretending it does not exist is silly.

What is it that you think the pub are doing?

Well yes, to be fair they can have whatever decorations they want in their sh*tty golliwog pub, it is indeed their business unless the dolls are made illegal. But last time I checked, criticism wasn't limited to what is and isn't legal .

The pubs not ****ty though, you are judging it without ever stepping foot in it.....typical....ive been in, it looks nice from outside and sits directly next to a uni campus...which most of its custom comes from...inside its nice as well with a well kept beer garden outside for kids to play while parents refresh.
