This.^

I wish I had a pound for every time Ive heard Essex Police say they can only give a crime number to victims of burglary and other serious crimes, because they simply dont have the manpower to investigate properly.........
The country is fooked, and its far too late to put it right, even if circumstances ever allowed it to happen.  >:( :'(

Sealing them up in plastic bags  ???
is that some kind of subliminal hate crime message  :P
A simple letter "please remove the items from display" would have saved resources  ::)
6 coppers could be out arresting bag head thieving scum bags, nonces, etc

They don’t do themselves any favours do they.  ::)  They just keep sinking lower and lower as far as public opinion goes.
As for the racially motivated reason for their mob handed visit, I recall an interview where the interviewer tried to steer Morgan Freeman down the racism route. He was having none of it and told the interviewer  “ The only way to stop racism is to stop talking about it.”. Respect to that man.

I imagine that 99.9% of people have no problem with a selection of  stuffed children's toys being placed behind the bar.

 But  it just takes one person (woke snowflake)  to complain and then  apparently something as innocent as this becomes a hate crime FFS.

The police are lost. :-\

There must be virtually no crime in Essex if the cops can send 6 rozzers to deal with this. :-X

I believe the first complaint about these gollies was made five years ago in 2018. The council (to whom, I presume, the complaint was made) said no further action was necessary. Someone must have gone direct to the police this time.
I love the 'stormed' bit, I didn't see any storming, just a bit of a saunter  ;D And the 'end of the world' music  ;D

There were still lots of golliwogs in the shop in Goathland when I was there last year. They have removed them from the shop window, but they're all present and correct at the rear of the shop.

Seriously though....how is keeping stuffed toys from a bygone era in any way illegal?

Apparently the Gollywog was used until 2001.....which is about a week a half ago in the great scheme of the passing of time.

How did we get to the point where the police treat this woke crap as a priority?

Yep...I knew about this. Apparently the 0.0000000000000000000000000000000001% of people who identify as 'non binary' feel excluded, so the language was changed to be more inclusive.

No doubt the change was decided by the same loons who champion other 'inclusive terms' such as pregnant people rather than
 pregnant women.....and 'birthing person rather than Mother.

It appears Suella has given the head of Essex police a bit of a bollocking.

She wants them to catch criminals instead of bagging up stuffed toys.

I doubt she'll make that idea fly. ::)

But, obviously, the person displaying these toys was a racist bastard, a very, very serious offence. After a burglary, the insurance company will replace your stolen items. But, after catching sight of these, can I bring myself to say it, golliwogs 😱, a person could be scarred for life.
I reported a village shop for selling gingerbread men yesterday, I'm expecting a raid any time now.

However, it required 6 coppers to bag up the dangerous  items so it must be more important than rape or robbery. :-\

In all seriousness, don't let the bastards grind you down.

Holding traditional values does not a Nazi make.

The words Nazi and Faschist are spread about like confetti at a wedding these days, Al. Sadly they are now meaningless. :-\

Just look at a typical college campus in certain parts of the US. The words Nazi and Fascist appear in almost every sentence when voiced by the 'be kind' kids with pink hair. ;D

If you believe there are only 2 genders then you are a gender Faschist.

If you believe a woman can't have a penis, and that a man can't birth a child, then you are a complete Nazi.

If you think George Floyd is a criminal and not the second coming of Jesus then you are a racist Faschist Nazi pig who should be shot by people who claim to be on the right side of history. >:D

If you oppose the tactics 'Just Stop Oil' and question the validity of 15 minute cities, then you are an environmental Nazi.

If you believe a man can't be a lesbian then you are a genital Faschist.

If you enjoy meat then are are worse than the German SS from the thirties. A proper Nazi.

If you think we should control illegal immigration by stopping the boats....yet again you are a Nazi.....and of course racist.

Church was a great opportunity to stop off at the 'ciggy shop' where the owner would sell us individual cigarettes and a book of matches. We were about 9 or 10 at the time. :)

Much later I heard rumours that the vicar had been caught 'kiddy fiddling'. Not sure how true those rumours were.

Utter capitulation followed by a profuse apology is usually the way this ends.......maybe with an extra  apology for slavery, and the sin of being white thrown in for extra contrition. ::)

The cafe owners say...."We invite the gentleman who was offended to contact us in person, so we can apologise again".

Get off your knees. :-X

I think so.

It's more to do with the misuse of the words. Infamous and notorious are pretty much interchangeable. Infamous and famous are not.

Reknowned or significant could have been alternatives. Or devastating if you're a bit more German.

Even more recent than that there was one of my favourite characters, Papa Lazarou (last special filmed in 2017):

Turns out it wasnt just the One show. BBC Breakfast presenter used exactly the same phrase earlier in the day.
Anti British groupthink infests the national broadcaster. What a surprise.  ::)

Not uncommon back in the day.

According to my grandparents about 70% of people who owned a black cat or dog would call it either nigger or blackie.

There was even paint colour called nigger brown which could be bought from any hardware shop.

The Essex rozzers have apparently solved every burglary, robbery, rape and murder, so they have plenty of time on their hands.

I don't understand why the police are still tumbling down this rabbit hole of insanity.

Suella has told them they need to fill their time with  serious crime investigation. She even specifically mentioned this case.

I mean, Braverman is the home secretary ffs yet the 'powers that be' within the police simply ignore her. :-\

This seems to be the case with the public sector at large to be honest. There have been several ministers who have complained at the inertia of civil servants and officials, and a resistance to change.  :-\
