Golliwog Scandal: Police Called After Racist Costumes Spotted At Wick Gala In Scotland

Police were called after three youths attended a summer gala in Scotland dressed as golliwogs. The trio attended Saturday’s Wick Gala in Caithness, wearing brightly-coloured costumes, curly wigs and black-face.

A spokesman for Police Scotland said: “On Monday 27th July 2015, Police in Wick received a call from a member of the public seeking to raise awareness of what they deemed as possible inappropriate behaviour at a public event known as the Wick Gala. Officers have also been in contact with the charity event organisers to provide advice on guidance for future events of a similar nature.”

Donna Plowman of the  the Wick Gala Committee commented: “We strive to make the gala week entertaining and inclusive for everyone If we said to people they can't go out as famous characters such as the Jackson Five, it will be difficult to know where you stop dictating. I don't know if it will get to the point if people would have to produce a picture of what they are coming as before they take part.”

Racist costumes my arse! What a waste of police time!
