Can I just say, “get a life”?

! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.

A black man has had a whinge that his complaint about a market trader hasn’t been taken seriously enough.

The market trader, foul heathen fiend that he is, has been selling … I can hardly bring myself to say it … Golliwoggs.

Apparently, the man brings children from ethnic minorities to Market Drayton and he thinks they might be offended by the toys.  Market Drayton is a town in a field in rural Shropshire.  Immigrant population, excluding livestock, could probably be counted on one hand.

There are a couple of options this man has.  He could try going somewhere where he won’t be exposed to a black faced child’s doll.  Africa or Asia perhaps.  Alternatively he could get a life and accept the fact that 99.9% of the population don’t find Golliwoggs offensive.
