I used to collect those metal golliwogs off the jam jars back in the day - Robertson’s?

This is the water.
And this is the well.
Drink full and descend.
The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within.

I saw. It’s fucking hilarious. From the accidental Britain First T-shirt, to the hanging of the dolls “like they did in Mississippi”. But no, the dolls aren’t a symbol of racism and the pub owners are not racists. We’re all over-sensitive snowflakes.

Yeah, I remember those. And I never once made any connection between them and skin colour. They were just a kids' toy or a character in a book... or something you collected from jam jars. Oh for the nativity of childhood... what a shame we have to grow up... |

Remember my parents tuning in to the Black and White Minstrel Show in the 60s. No racial connotations then either. |

I guess that's a good thing really. if you grew up in the 70s and probably early 80s you'd know it! I'm embarrassed by my own relatives resist attitude of a couple of generations ago, some of which got passed down to my own mother. But I do find it interesting. How do you judge different times and attitudes because using today's standards really isn't fair |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

What an idiot that woman is. Fortunately, I expect she’ll have her license revoked, if not for the dolls but the other crap she’s spouted in the past. Dickhead |

Remember watching that as little lad & Alf Garnett. Pleased to say that I managed to survive & become a reasonably well rounded individual & not in the slightest bit traumatised or in need of trigger point warnings regarding written & televised matter. |
