I do know what you mean poli it seems a fruitless exercise when the person is dead…. However, especially in the case of Jimmy if what has been said is true it needs to be told. People need to know he was not the icon they thought him to be……. Im only sorry he is not alive to answer the charges because the awful thing is we will never know how he would have dealt with it and his explanation.

Im sure some women will jump on the bandwagon and enjoy the limelight… but it pains me to say it… there are too many women to discount and having watched the TV documentary there does seem to be some substance to some of the recollections of these women. So doubtless things will unfold.. so sad things have ended like this for him… but if he did these things he only has himself to blame…. time will tell.

Gosh….I was just told something here that almost made me pee with laughing…. I would love to share it with you all but it will be much more fun watching :D

Man has always sacrificed truth to his vanity, comfort and advantage. He lives… by make-believe.

I don’t think the product (the doll) as such is offensive at all, nor do I think the doll lost it’s job because it was black.
Why is everyone skirting round the issue of the name? It’s the name that IS offensive. The name of the product is gollywog. For some reason Panda doesm’t mention this in her opening post. Why would anyone think Jack Golly is offensive and why would anyone think that the physical appearance of that toy is offensive?
The toy is gollywog and it’s not an appropriate name in this day and age…we have moved on (apparantly). It is obvious that the exact doll cannot be re branded as the original name will always stick

Hi Kenty…lovely to see you here xx

Im so glad you made this post, I agree with you entirely…..

I did think about saying the name Golliwog in my original post but I felt inhibited in doing so (my own inhibitions)… I suppose its so offensive even now we shy away from using it.

Yes, when I was little, the toy I loved was a golliwog and there was no racial slur in the name as far as I was concerned I was just a child…. but as time passed the name became very offensive its one I feel uncomfortable using here even in the context of this thread. I think you are right…. my little golly that I loved became a victim of modern day racism… sad fact.. but true.
