Good Morning All

[TWR]

Reading the post from last week regards Muslims & D.C Statements, why is it that the UK has had to change a lot of things to please this religion, Black Board, The Golly, Christmas Terms, why is it that other religions that has settled in the UK do not seem to bother & just got on with their life's & are thankful to be in a Country that as welcomed them. not an early morning moan as some may think, we went to Corfu many years ago, I did not take to the Place so did not go back, if some of these un great full people don't like the way we do things here there is a simple answer, feck off

I loved my 'golly' badges from the marmalade stamps! I also had a black doll - just one of my 'family' when I was small. More importantly, I had, and still possess, an Enid Blyton book of stories in one of which the Golliwog was the hero and rescuer. I never felt a golliwog was a lesser toy - or black people lesser creations.

At one time I do remember a move to stop blackboards being called such, it didn't last long, and in my latter years I was told that I could not display Christmas cards in my classroom unless they were alongside Eid cards (about the same time of year). I ignored the instruction - as did almost everyone else, unless a kid had given them an Eid card.
