You're not really playing along. This is the bit when you're supposed to have a meltdown.

Apparently the the brewery didn’t want to be associated with people who thought it amusing to hang representations of black peoples from the pubs beams . This despite several warnings .
I guess there are a few ancient moronic racists who think it’s funny too, but thankfully they are now dying out fast and best ignored .

It is Essex, but that part of Essex along the estuary, that's slightly lower on the evolutionary scale than the rest of it.

Just words.

If you want to live a longer live, stay away from the killing factories. That's not the nurses, they are the innocents really, the doctors to a man are wrong uns.

You can't see a doctor unless you want something that they are paid extra for by the government, making it financially led.

Doctors are nothing but pharmaceutical salesmen, full stop.

Apart from old Leigh On Sea, pretty much everywhere south of the A127 is shite. Grays included.

I hope you or any of your family never need any medical intervention from these sales people. I guess a spoonful of Turmeric and positive thinking will sort it out.

better than them murdering fuckers.

I'm alive now because l ignored them actually.

 

[Richardvanles]

Going back to the original op.
As a kid of the 60’s / 70’s when collecting Gollys was all the rage, Robinsons jars etc etc I was never a fan. Probably because we weren’t exactly rich we would have cheap jam and not the expensive Robinsons brand. A couple of my mates were avid collectors but I don’t ever recall us assimilating the Gollys to black folk. If others did, to portray black folk in a negative light or use them as a point of ridicule then fair enough, stick them in the bin of history.
Maybe I was a bit naive or never really looked at colour in that way

 

[jackieguaccamo]

Well I for one am glad they have finally sorted out racism by cancelling a pub in Essex that collected gollywogs. Phew..

Times change. Last night I was shown an article about York pubs in the 1700s and 1800s. There used to be a pub in George St around 1800 called Labour In Vain. The sign represented a woman washing a black boy and underneath was inscribed 'you may wash him and scrub him from morn till night your labours in vain black will never be white'.

Times change, some people change, some don't.
