Police stormed the White Hart Inn last week, taking away 20 of the dolls that were displayed behind the bar
A landlady has defiantly displayed her Golliwogs dolls in her pub, despite police seizing the toys just days ago as part of alleged "hate crime".
Ms Ryley has run the pub for the last 17-years with her husband Chris and claims to "pride ourselves on welcoming everybody". However, since the police visit she has placed some of the ones that weren't confiscated back onto the shelves. Ms Rylely told the MailOnline : "The whole thing is ridiculous. It's political correctness gone out of control.
"I've not committed any crime and haven't set out to offend anyone. These gollis are a part of the pub, the customers love them, and they are a reminder of our childhood." Chris was in Turkey at the time police said that they would like to question him about a "hate crime" when he returns in May. The raid comes after the couple refused to remove the dolls after the local authority received a complaint in 2018.
"No one has been arrested or charged in connection with the investigation and our enquiries are ongoing.
