Locals take down 'racist' pub sign to stop it being vandalised

A “racist” pub sign which has been likened to a golliwog has been removed following mounting pressure from campaigners to have it taken down – but locals claim it will be replaced at a later date.

Thousands of people signed a petition demanding the removal of a caricature of a black man above the 18th century Greenman pub sign in Ashbourne, Derbyshire.
