Black man who attempted to steal Noddy's luggage is eliminated



Noddy returns without the golliwogs

Noddy returns to Toyland later this month in the first official new book for more than 45 years, but the golliwogs have been banished from his circle of friends.


Next week: Robinson Crusoe with Thursday and Saturday but no Friday.

This has become so ridiculous. I remember as a child the adventures of the little boy Sambo. Wonderful stories and the Golly on the Jam Jar..All gone.

That was the start of it!
Removing the golly from jam jars, I bet one would be branded a racist if you tried to sell you Golly collection on eBay nowadays!

This is New Labour for you. I had a Golly as a child and never once did I think it wasa piss take of a black person. It was just my golly my comforting toy.
