A stunned mum from Greater Manchester was ordered to attend a police station after her six year old daughter left a golliwog in the living room window. Amanda Schofield was quizzed on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence after a neighbour complained. She said she "felt like a criminal". The Sun - Sept 18th 2008

The Golliwog was originally a storybook character created by Florence Upton in 1895. Since then, they have been reproduced by German bear makers Steiff, jam-makers Robertsons, and are a much loved toy of children the world over.

So why arrest someone for displaying an item that is LEGAL to buy and own? Will they be arresting owners of shops such as Toys of Yesteryear in Matlock Bath? I doubt it! PC gone mad!
