| 0:00.0 | the absolute state of this story. Now, this story, I think, really underlines two things. The |
| 0:05.1 | absurdity of the so-called anti-woke backlash, but also just how emboldened bigots have become |
| 0:12.0 | in this country. Now, Essex Police seized a collection of 15 Goliwags from the White |
| 0:17.6 | Heart Inn in Grey's Essex, and this was because there was an anonymous leave-reported hate crime, |
| 0:23.6 | which was reported. Now, the two owners of this pub, Benice Riley and Chris Riley, |
| 0:32.3 | they are the ones who had this collection of Goliwags, 15 Goliwags, which were, as I've said, |
| 0:38.7 | seized by Essex Police. I'll just explain some of the details, and we'll just unpack exactly |
| 0:43.6 | what's happened here. Now, apparently, the man online was briefed by Srella Bravaman's |

| 1:18.1 | some way, racially, harassed, alarmed or distressed by the presence of these Goliwags, which is, |
| 1:24.5 | and I do think this needs to be emphasised over and over again, gratuitously racist caricatures. |
| 1:30.5 | Now, the landlady complained, bemoaned, oh, the police loved the dolls, I have no |
| 1:35.6 | updates at all, the whole thing is totally mad. There's definitely some mad elements about this, |
| 1:39.7 | which I'm about to go on to. Since the dollies were taken in the stories in the newspapers, |
| 1:43.9 | we have had so many people getting searched for myself and my husband to say we shouldn't give up, |
| 1:47.0 | and we should keep them on our shelf. I wonder what the views of those people are, those particular |
| 1:51.3 | punters. He was so desperate for the Goliwags. Over the last two days, my customers keep singing, |
