Beatties Protest

24th July Wirral EF! and Underground Power launched a protest about Beatties store, Birkenhead, continued selling of racist "gollywogs".

The offensive stereotype of the stupid, wide-eyed gollywog is an example of racism, which is insulting to both white and black people. 250 signatures were handed in to the deputy manager. Beatties have other stores in Wolverhampton, Solihull, Dudley, Sutton Coldfield, Worcester, Northampton, Burton-upon-Trent and Birkenhead.
