One of the comments under a tweet by Redbridge Libraries pointed out that the Library was well aware of the costumes and even made indirect reference to the hanging genitalia in the comments. “We sincerely apologise for the offence and distress this has caused,” the statement read. It further added that a full and thorough investigation had been initiated. What action has been taken against the team or person from Redbridge Libraries who thought it was hilarious when made aware of? ‘When you’ve got it, flaunt it’ was the response. The contractor had commissioned characters to support the start of the Summer Reading Challenge, but the costume in question was wholly inappropriate for the intended audience.” In a statement, they said, “We are utterly appalled by the unacceptable event at Redbridge Libraries on Saturday organised by our independent leisure contractor, Vision. Notably, they blamed the charity Vision for the lapse of judgement in choosing the group for the event. People complained to Labour and were blocked and called 'lecturing Johnny come latelys' by its leader 1/2 /UTT1DZz5Jb- ripx4nutmeg JRedbridge Libraries issue apologyĪn apology has been issued by Redbridge Libraries for hosting the performance. Redbridge Labour commissioned a furry rainbow monkey with a huge dildo and exposed anus to dance in front of children as part of a reading project at libraries this summer. Some users stated that initially when they tried to complain to the council, they were blocked while the council defended the act. Some people questioned the Redbridge Labour council that had reportedly organised the event. I mean how many librarian/councillor eyes had to behold the Rainbow Dildo Butt Monkey before he was released into the wild to delight the children of Redbridge? □ /SbkDerdDZb- Janice Turner July 11, 2021 Here’s a video of the ‘education’ 2/2- ripx4nutmeg July 11, 2021 Redbridge Libraries has apologised, although it initially laughed about it when challenged, saying ‘if you’ve got it, flaunt it’. People across social media platforms called out the said library for endorsement and promotion of the blatantly obscene act.Īll future events of the ‘dildo monkey’ reading to children have been cancelled. People who come across indecent costumes took social media platforms to criticise the event. The group’s website reads that it has “a distinctive style bringing together live music, carnival, street costume, puppetry and dance, drawing on diverse influences from Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa.” The monkey was part of its walkabout acts. The actor belonged to a troupe of street performers associated with one Mandinga Arts that is based in Clapham South in London. However, the blatant obscenity in front of children and families attracted strong criticism among social media users. The Redbridge Library claimed the event was to ‘promote reading among kids’ between the ages of four to eleven. Most of the people who saw the video are outraged as the Monkey’s fake genitalia kept flapping in all directions as he danced on the street. In a video that has gone viral on social media platforms, the “Monkey” character runs out from the library on the street with two other performers holding a placard. The event was held at London’s Redbridge library. As per reports, the event included one performer who was dressed in a ‘Rainbow Monkey’ costume with fake genitalia hanging out and exposed buttocks. On July 12 (Local Time), an investigation has been initiated against a library in London over an event that was reportedly done to ‘promote reading among kids’.
