I'm sorry Bern, but I completely disagree with your point of view as regards golliwog.
Carol Thatcher was NOT being racist; how can a child's doll, be racist for goodnes sake ?
All golliwogs have curly black hair don't they ? Are we to ban barby dolls because they all have blonde straight hair. Why the prejudice ?
To describe a white man's hair to that of a golliwog's cannot be racist, it simply cannot - it's just describing what it looked like - would it have been O.K. if it had beeen described as, or compared to, a Rasta's.
No matter what you say about racism and prejudice, this is just over sensitivity in the extreme: creating racism where there is none.
The BBC were totally wrong - on this and reinstating Jonathon Ross.
