Should this case have gone this far in the first place?

[Ankou]

i would paul, i would tell them that it is an illegal erection.

[ludwig]

They were never asked to take it down. There was an ongoing dispute between the two neighbours about something else, and neighbour 1* stuck it there to deliberately offend neighbour 2 because neighbour 2 was black. Neighbour 2 then reported it to the police.

*A high level enquiry has since decided there's not enough evidence to prove neighbour 1 actually put it in her own window. It could have been the tooth fairy or sombody else.

^ The Tooth Fairy has just vehemently denied any involvement in this 'crime'

Right decision, it's a childs toy, if it's considered racist then why are they on sale?

Who but a racist would display a golliwog in their window.

The CPS has backed down again from pressure by the BNP!

[joeluke]

Apologies for repeating myself but if they are considered racist how come they are so freely available to buy online?

....and why aren't the sellers prosecuted for selling 'racist' material?

[bazwillrun]

I'm not offended by golliwogs...oh I see in your PC little world I should be

[sara3]

you can also buy knives, I believe.. it just depends what you choose to do with them.

[joeluke]

You wouldn't get arrested for displaying a knife in your window though

[sara3]

I think you probably could, joeluke.. depending on what message you were sending to whom..

[craft1948]

I think they should have sorted it out with a mud wrestle..............

[joeluke]

So is anyone going to answer my question then?

....or isn't there an answer?

[joeluke]

See 20:54 and 22:37

[sara3]

was my answer not clear enough, joeluke?

[joeluke]

if gollywogs are considered racist how come they are so freely available to buy online?

....and why aren't the sellers prosecuted for selling 'racist' material?
