Apologies for Daily Fail link. These landlords are fighting to keep their collection of extremely racist dolls on display. What possible justification could someone have for having a golliwog on display in this day and age? There is no ambiguity here, golliwogs are vile.

Whether you like the dolls or not (I don't for obvious reasons) the really ridiculous thing about this story is that 6 police officers turned up to "deal with this." SIX.

Because of some dolls. Police can't be arsed to show up to burglaries but can absolutely come in, blazing, about some dolls.

Utterly ludicrous. People who don't like the fact that they're hanging the dolls there- can choose to not give the landlords their custom. Loss of revenue may make them rethink their choice of "decoration."

We're living in really odd and potentially scary times when police feel the need to dictate things that are, ultimately, a matter of taste.

Racism is illegal, hence the police involvement. It is most definitely not a matter of taste
