Just another example of an upper class twit opening their mouth

Last I heard on the Golligate saga was there were 2 others in the room. Adrian Chiles and Jo Brand.

Jo Brand was hauled over the coals last week herself for making a JOKE about a list of members of the BNP (I think) being made public and how it was great that she would know which letterboxes to post "poo" through! She said this on Live at the Apollo or one of these shows! She is a comedienne, she made a JOKE but someone who had gone along to see her comedy show felt the need to complain!! The world has gone mad

I`m getting SO annoyed about this now. Now the gift shop on the Sandringham estate has taken golliwogs off it`s shelves, and a toyshop owner had his stock of golliwogs confiscated by police after someone complained! It`s getting ridiculous. Golliwogs were originally meant to look like the white entertainers who blacked their faces up before singing, they`re not meant to represent negro people, and even if they were, where`s the harm? Little girls play with black dolls as well as white, whatever their own colour might be, I did, so did my daughters, AND I had a much loved golly, as did they.

I see that Jo Brand, no less, is "hugely offended" by the use of the word "golliwog"!

I suppose she will be, with her being such a nice, clean family entertainer.

Of course, the kind of humour relating to bodily functions among other things and purveyed by the likes of Ms Brand pales into insignificance when compared to someone uttering the word "golliwog".

Why do people have to become so self-righteous and hypocritical when it comes to anything that might be interpreted as being racist?

All nonsense like this and the diarrhoea people like ionns come out with does is segregate us even more. Why can't you have a black toy? The sooner Jesus comes back and does away with all you wallopers the better.

The problem isn't about that sweet cuddly soft toy. The whole point of the debate is quite simply, someone employed by the public broadcasting service, saying that a person looks like a children's toy. If for example, I was to say that a person with a facial disfigurement, looked like the hulk. This would be considered by some a highly offensive remark, then I steadfastly refuse to aplogise. This only serves to cast questions on my character and opinion regarding people with disfigurement. Now weather that remark was made as a joke and in private becomes irrelevant, when it comes into the public domain. People with facial disfigurements and enlightened members of the public cry foul, while others with a severe dose of nostalgic dreams of childhood, of that friendly wee green monster now gathering dust in the attic wrongly defend the doll - at the cost of the human.
