The dolls in the pub before they were seized. See SWNS story SWLSgolly; Police have launched an investigation after windows and a door were smashed by vandals at a pub embroiled in a race row over displaying golliwog dolls. Benice Ryley, 61, said she was left shaken when a brick was hurled through the window of The White Hart Inn, in Grays, Essex. The boozer has been at the centre of a row over their collection of 15 golly dolls and had previously been visited by Essex Police following an anonymous complaint. The dolls were confiscated by police last week who said the toys, which were gifted to the pub over many years by customers, were a suspected "hate crime". Officers returned to the pub at closing time on Saturday night (15/4) after the brick was launched through a window while Benice and several customers were inside.

PIC FROM KENNEDY NEWS AND MEDIA (PICTURED: BEN BISHOP, 57, CLAIMS HE WAS BITTEN BY AN ADDER WHILE FORAGING FOR A GOLF BALL) A golfer claims he was bitten by the UK's only deadly snake while foraging for a ball he'd hit off the green - sending him lurching into hospital 'like a zombie'. Ben Bishop, from Sittingbourne, Kent, said he felt an unusually 'sharp hot needle' on his right heel while retrieving the ball from among dead wood under the trees while golfing, but didn't think anything of it. The building maintenance worker reckons he disturbed the adder, the UK's only venomous snake, while rummaging for his golf ball he hit on the sixth hole.
