Pub closes after row sparked by seizure of golliwog dolls by police

A

pub has closed a month after its collection of golliwogs was seized by police, amid a boycott by suppliers.

Five officers removed a collection of the dolls – based on 18th century minstrels and now regarded as racist caricatures – from the White Hart Inn in Grays, Essex, on April 4 after a hate crime allegation.
