There's been a lot of talk recently about the great man, but if you had to choose, which would you prefer as your head of state?
Personally I think a compromise is in order. If the Americans agree to put the Queen's head on their stamps then I think its only fair if we put their President back on our JamJar's. Discuss!![]()

Crikey mate, that's an inflammatory statement if ever there was one, president back on the jam jar. I don't suppose our American members will know but Robertsons Jam used to have a golliwog figure as their logo on the jam they sold.
I'll assume that wasn't intended as a derogatory remark and say I prefer the Queen as head of state. I'm no monarchist but she keeps out of my life, unlike the president/prime minister.

what did they symbolise?
After doing a little reading on the golliwog it seems it was a story book character writen by a young girl in 1895 and europeans took the little character to their hearts. It only seems to become a racist symbol when certain groups both black and white who just love to be offended decided it was racist.
The Golliwogg was inspired by a blackface minstrel doll Upton had as a child in America. At one point it was very popular in Europe and as a result has become a collector's item. However, the image of the doll has become the subject of heated debate. One aspect of the debate in its favor argues that it should be preserved and passed on as a cherished cultural artifact and childhood tradition, while opponents argue it should be retired as a relic of an earlier time when racism against black people was blatant
