Labour councillor Jas Athwal has distanced himself from the Redbridge Library Summer Reading Challenge after they used taxpayers money to hire a naked monkey with a massive dildo to perform for children. This idea from the Labour run council clearly flopped…

On Friday night Jas tweeted:

“This is disgusting. I have taken immediate action. Upon finding out, I contacted Vision [and they] confirmed that the contract has been cancelled, an apology is sought in the first instance and an explanation will be scrutinised by the council’s legal team.”

Though Redbridge library have now apologised for the “inappropriate” costume, they commented “if you’ve got it, flaunt it” on social media earlier in the day. They also apparently blocked concerned constituents and labelled them “lecturing Johnny come latelys'”. Redbridge council spent the day rubbing its constituents the wrong way…

Vision RCL – who arranged the event – reportedly received £740,000 as part of the government’s cultural recovery fund. Guido doesn’t understand why the government is monkeying around with taxpayer’s money…

Shouldn't children be entertained by Prince's kissing frogs and wooden puppets with long noses? I think I'd be a bit p$ssed off if my daughter had come home from school and when asked what she had done today replied "I saw this bare arsed monkey with a big dick dancing round the class!"...

Does it matter, one child, or fifty?

How many children were present and watching this well endowed monkey, Foxy?

Were they there in the form of an assembled audience? Did they just inadvertently see it as they were passing by? Did any children actually see it at all?

But is public opinion usually an accurate barometer of the underlying truth of the matter?

I don't think so. Public opinion seems, more often than not, to be based on misconceptions, which themselves are based on misinformation coming from agenda driven sources.

It doesn't matter to me, Vlad, but I'm not getting all worked up by it.

Just out on interest, Vlad, what would be the terrible consequences of a child witnessing the alleged antics of this monkey?

I don't really care what 'truth' this is wrapped up in. No truth can justify someone dressed as a monkey with a prosthetic penis and bare bum being hired to 'entertain' children.
