What I think is a pretty good article on the phenomenon of the golliwogs and more importantly the attitudes and political stances behind it:

It appears to me one of the most worrying things here is we have a Home Secretary who said she intervened when she obviously didn't have the full facts, but didn't actually intervene so is both incompetent and lying.

We should stick with Sunak because at last he isn't a hypocrite?
