    The soft toys aren't.

    But, the Golliwogs in the Noddy stories are a bit different. They were the troublemakers in the stories so you could see what old Enid was getting at.

    Thankfully the new Noddy stories have changed the troublemakers to Pikies which is completely acceptable.

    "On the evidence available, it is not possible to show exactly who was responsible for placing the doll in the window."

    CPS showing common sense, good for them. They should charge her next door neighbor for wasting police/courts time.

    They are still openly for sale so how the **** can you be arrested for having one?

    A black mate of mine bought one when we were in Blackpool. He loved it, bought it for his kids.

    I wonder what sort of prominent position it was in, must've been bent over a couple of toothpicks with cotton stuck on them, either that or noddy was behind it riding it.
