Closed Ban the selling and open displaying of Golliwog dolls in UK stores.

Closed on

Golliwog dolls depict a racially insulting charactater of black people. This is no longer acceptable. Sign the petition and let the goverment know, how the UK really feels about the legal selling and displaying of Golliwog dolls.

The Golliwog character has long been used in childrens literature, to denigrate black people. The use of the racial word "wog" originates from this ignorant depiction of black people.

It's time for all people to make clear that the selling of these racially provocative dolls, needs to stop.

The displaying of such dolls on store front windows, has to stop.
