Woman denies Suffolk window golly doll racial harassment charge A woman charged with racially aggravated harassment after a neighbour complained about a golly doll displayed in her window has denied the offence. Jena Mason, 65, of College Lane, Worlingham, Suffolk, was arrested after complaints to police from her neighbour. She pleaded not guilty at a hearing at Lowestoft Magistrates' Court on Tuesday. The case was adjourned for a case management hearing on 11 October.
Um no, I don't think it's "PC gone mad" Think how shocking it looks to our eyes to see that Aston Villa mascot in the fifties. I know the usual types will maybe jump on this as "PC brigade telling everyone what they can and can't do" but I, genuinely, think that gollywog dolls are a horrendous hangover from a more ignorant past.
Maybe it is a hangover from the past and maybe the old biddy put it there on purpose but charging someone for putting a doll in their window? Racial harrassment? Way way over the top to me.
I saw a golly doll tied to a tiny white cross outside the Presbyterian church in my home town about 18 years ago. Sick but somehow also complete genius
Yes, a racial harrassment charge sounds over the top but, if the woman was dressed as a minstrel singing "swany river", it would seem pretty shocking. I don't see THAT much difference.
He is talking about people getting killed and people wiping turd on peoples cars because of their skin colour. This is a doll in a window.
No I don't. It isn't a very hard point to get really. I just don't think these things should be absolute. If someone calls me an Fenian Bastard on the internet then I couldn't care. If someone stopped me in the street and shouted at me that I was a Fenian bastard then that's different surely? It's a doll ffs
No, the point is it has **** all to do with political correctness which is a cliched phrase used by ignorant arseholes.
Oh, i'd rather be a golly, than a paki oh, i'd rather be a golly than a paki oh i'd rather be a golly rather be a golly i'd rather be a golly than a paki
used to like the Bangers and Mash books at school, and one day someone was offended and they banned them nationwide... Like the PG Tips ads, the Johny Vegas ones are crap compared to the originals..... The monkey is even grey now not to cause offence
Normally I'd agree that this is all a bit silly, but I think that this is something a bit dodgy. The woman's been having an ongoing property row with a neighbouring family and the mother of the couple happens to be black. Coincidence? Unlikely, really. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...iwog-window-dispute-neighbour-black-wife.html I know it's the Mail, but it was the first link that I could find that actually had any real details.
