I am of the opinion that the world has gone completely mad !!!I am quite sure that the police would be better entertained if they were to go out and capture folk who drive after taking drink or drugs,drive like lunatics,people who shop lift,people who carry weapons and people with vicious dogs just for starters!

Is it upping the anti?

 

Does she allow mixed race people into her pub,  is she being deliberately provocative because she has her customers behind her,  just leave it out -  people are at each others' throats too much these days so why escalate it.

Very true - but 'virtue signalling' is now the in-thing.

I assume she does - one of the customers in that piece is described as 'black'.

Any licensee that has that condition of entry, quite frankly wouldnt remain a licensee for very long.

Your thoughts?

My initial thoughts were that these were strange things to have in a pub. If collecting these items are a hobby, why put them on a display in an area where members of the public see them. I would think that if the items were railway carriages or dolls, so I'm not just picking up on them just because they are gollywogs. I think the landlady is being provocative by having these on display.
