Pub in golliwog racism row barred from Good Beer Guide until dolls are removed
The White Hart in Grays, Essex, has been blocked from featuring in future editions of Camra's Good Beer Guide, until the dolls are removed, the group announced today.
"CAMRA believes pubs should be welcoming and inclusive places and it's baffling that any pub would choose to discriminate against customers or potential customers by continuing to display offensive material," a statement said. The pub's landlady today was forced to deny her husband was a Britain First supporter - after a picture emerged of him wearing a Britain first shirt. Explaining his actions she said it was just "convenient" for him to have it on.
Ms Ryley, who runs the White Hart Inn in Grays, says they are not racist and remained adamant that she will keep displaying dolls.
