UK: The Thought Police Defend IngSoc

But the harmony of this idyllic Suffolk community has been shattered – by a golliwog.
Yesterday, a 65-year-old grandmother was preparing to appear in court charged with a race hate crime after placing the doll in her window.
Jena Mason was arrested when her black neighbour, Rosemarie O’Donnell, complained that it was a racial taunt following a long dispute between the two households.
A rather stark reminder that there is no First Amendment in Britain, where you can be arrested for putting a child’s doll in the window of your own home.
