I'll never forget the Gollywog squad. About 15 officers were involved in this operation by all accounts.
Some bloke had a gollywog doll tied to the front of the car on the grill I think. Some mentally unhinged purse lipped lunatic phoned the police over this to make a complaint. If plod had any sense they would have told the complainant to sod off and stop wasting police time. Instead a dawn raid was mounted. As soon as the guy backed out of his driveway the gollywog squad swooped. The road was closed off, the vehicle impounded and the man was held on a charge of some racial nature. If the police have the funds to pursue this lunacy-dealing with complaints from mentally ill people or left wing idealists with an axe to grind, then they've got money to pursue real crimes.
There's no accounting for the idiocy of plod. I wonder how much this utterly ridiculous exercise in stupidity cost the taxpayer? This is the police force THEY WANTED.

Can you provide actual links to these incidents. I know the police in the West Midlands enforced in 2011 a series of public order offences relating to the display of golliwog dolls, but none of the incidents seem to relate to the image of police reaction that you seem to suggest.


It was a story in The Daily Mail a few years ago. Before you say 'oh the Daily Mail, right wing mouthpiece!' I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have been able to print it. Also in Richard Littlejohn's book Littlejohn's Britain. It is without doubt a true story. There was another story about a shop somewhere in Oxforshire displaying a couple of Golly Wog dolls in his window. Needless to say some mentally ill, purse lipped lunatic took offence and phoned in the old bill, who went in mob handed and charged the owner with hate crimes. I remember not so long back Golly Wogs were on the labels of marmalade for goodness sakes! Do you actually know an Afro Carribean who vaguely resembles a Golly Wog? This sort of behaviour borders on madness and anyone who takes offence at such innocent toys needs to be treated for severe mental illness.

I suspect its true, but somewhat overstated. I think the point of golliwogs largely is missed by the knee jerk right that its based on racial stereotypes. Also the term golli and wog, both have a historically racist connotation. The sale of such items, is not illegal, but the public display of them is considered to be a public order offence.

Richard Littlejohn couldn't tell a story about going to the toilet without decrying the decline of all that is British, holy or good. He's as unreliable as any columnist. I wouldn't say that the Daily Mail even speaks for people who are right wing, its basically The Sun, for people who can read, and have pretensions of status and importance.

I mean who could possibly be offended by racial charactures of black people, and terms like golli and wog. Its one of those things like Blacking up, it belongs to a time where racism was endemic, and brings up memories of a time where race was a deterministic social characteristic.



I'd say Richard Littlejohn is a funny columnist who just says things the way he see's them. He can only be better than Poly Toynbee but then that's just my humble opinion.

littlejohn is an odious, morally vacuous little man who writes rubbish. Poly Toynbee writes nothing of any interest to anyone.


In your humble opinion.

No, littlejohn is an odious, morally vacuous little man who writes rubbish. The man is scum.

He speaks more common sense than I've seen in any of your posts. Just an opinion, like.


Amen to that.

I read a lot of that and very much enjoyed it. Don't let those precious lefties read it though, they'll be having hissy fits.

Rod Little? Seriously? You have to be a troll. Congrats sir, you were just about believable but now you have gone a step too far, good show though!


Default setting for someone who hasn't got a proper argument is to call a poster who posts something you don't agree with a 'troll'. You really do show yourself up to be petulant, childish, with no real argument and absolutely no point.

I'll never forget the Gollywog squad. About 15 officers were involved in this operation by all accounts.
Some bloke had a gollywog doll tied to the front of the car on the grill I think. Some mentally unhinged purse lipped lunatic phoned the police over this to make a complaint. If plod had any sense they would have told the complainant to sod off and stop wasting police time. Instead a dawn raid was mounted. As soon as the guy backed out of his driveway the gollywog squad swooped. The road was closed off, the vehicle impounded and the man was held on a charge of some racial nature. If the police have the funds to pursue this lunacy-dealing with complaints from mentally ill people or left wing idealists with an axe to grind, then they've got money to pursue real crimes.
There's no accounting for the idiocy of plod. I wonder how much this utterly ridiculous exercise in stupidity cost the taxpayer? This is the police force THEY WANTED.

Can you provide actual links to these incidents. I know the police in the West Midlands enforced in 2011 a series of public order offences relating to the display of golliwog dolls, but none of the incidents seem to relate to the image of police reaction that you seem to suggest.


It was a story in The Daily Mail a few years ago. Before you say 'oh the Daily Mail, right wing mouthpiece!' I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have been able to print it. Also in Richard Littlejohn's book Littlejohn's Britain. It is without doubt a true story. There was another story about a shop somewhere in Oxforshire displaying a couple of Golly Wog dolls in his window. Needless to say some mentally ill, purse lipped lunatic took offence and phoned in the old bill, who went in mob handed and charged the owner with hate crimes. I remember not so long back Golly Wogs were on the labels of marmalade for goodness sakes! Do you actually know an Afro Carribean who vaguely resembles a Golly Wog? This sort of behaviour borders on madness and anyone who takes offence at such innocent toys needs to be treated for severe mental illness.

I suspect its true, but somewhat overstated. I think the point of golliwogs largely is missed by the knee jerk right that its based on racial stereotypes. Also the term golli and wog, both have a historically racist connotation. The sale of such items, is not illegal, but the public display of them is considered to be a public order offence.

Richard Littlejohn couldn't tell a story about going to the toilet without decrying the decline of all that is British, holy or good. He's as unreliable as any columnist. I wouldn't say that the Daily Mail even speaks for people who are right wing, its basically The Sun, for people who can read, and have pretensions of status and importance.

I mean who could possibly be offended by racial charactures of black people, and terms like golli and wog. Its one of those things like Blacking up, it belongs to a time where racism was endemic, and brings up memories of a time where race was a deterministic social characteristic.



I'd say Richard Littlejohn is a funny columnist who just says things the way he see's them. He can only be better than Poly Toynbee but then that's just my humble opinion.

littlejohn is an odious, morally vacuous little man who writes rubbish. Poly Toynbee writes nothing of any interest to anyone.


In your humble opinion.

No, littlejohn is an odious, morally vacuous little man who writes rubbish. The man is scum.


In your humble opinion.


Nothing humble about it, scum he was and scum he remains.


You really are rather vile aren't you?


Huh? I'm just a teddy bear really But seriously, littlejohn is the scum of the earth, try getting some new reading material.


You mean like the Guardian or Polly Toynbee? I think Littlejohn is pretty dam funny and speaks a great deal of common sense, which is something the left seem to be immune from.

Check out Rod Liddle of the Spectator, funny and pertinent.

I read a lot of that and very much enjoyed it. Don't let those precious lefties read it though, they'll be having hissy fits.

This from a man who reads rod little & richard 'the scum' little john. Pull the other one mate, it's got bells on.

I ain't your mate. I also see that anyone who reads Littlejohn and Rod Little are 'trolls' too. Just like I'm Prime Minister, sunshine.
