Musk also fired CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, and Sean Edgett, the company’s general counsel, The Washington Post reported.

Black Lives Matter reminds us this is a movement, not a moment. We have an opportunity to make fundamental and positive changes. “Hearts and minds have been awoken on a scale never seen before.

Mandinga openly professes support for leftist activist causes such as Black Lives Matter and even offers a list of “anti-racist resources” on their website, including the 1619 Project from the New York Times and How To Be An Anti-Racist by Critical Race Theory proponent Ibram X. The council leader and deputy have expressed their strong condemnation to Vision for this costume and the offence it has caused. Vision have apologised to residents for an event earlier today that included an inappropriate costume. They are highly engaging and love audience interaction, Ideal for all kind or family outdoor festivals.” “First created in 2008 these monkeys have been entertaining audiences across Europe and the UK. They climb, they roll they tumble, but nothing makes them go bananas like being mischievous and having a good laugh. The so-called Monkey Mayhem performance is described thusly: “Escaped from the circus these trio of acrobatic Monkey’s are causing havoc across town. Mandinga claims that their public performances are “are guaranteed fun for family audiences wherever they pop up.” The graphic “Monkey Mayem” performance on Saturday was put on by the London-based Mandinga Arts carnival group. The Redbridge Library features a slew of woke content on its YouTube page, including regular drag queen story hour-style videos from the controversial ‘Mama G’ drag performer, who has previously come under criticism for teaching young children how to “twerk”. The library claimed that the event was organised by the local charity Vision, and not Redbridge Council itself, however the charity does work in partnership with the council and is overseen by three councillors. This is being investigated and a further statement will be made.”

“We deeply apologise for the offence caused. Unfortunately one of the animal costumes was inappropriate which we were not aware of at the time of booking. The library said that the purpose of the event was to provide “caregivers fun, family-friendly activities, maintain literacy levels and create a safe space for children to connect with their peers.”įollowing widespread condemnation for hosting such lewd content at a children’s event, Redbridge Libraries said in a statement: “During an event put on at the library today there was a performance by a Carnival Arts Company. “I know, we’ll get a rainbow-coloured monkey to wag his dildo at passing motorists”Īt this point, do we laugh, cry?, or get furious? Labour Council: “How do we get kids to read more books this summer? And just as with the majority of test subjects in such experiments, none of those in attendance broke ranks to condemn obviously troubling behaviour.The event was part of a “Summer Reading Challenge” in partnership with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) for a “very special nature-themed Challenge that will inspire you to stand up for the planet.”

Like one of those social-psychology experiments, individuals’ implicit sense of wrongdoing was pitted against their desire to fit in with a group. In this latest incident, the spectacle of a children’s entertainer with a prosthetic cock was witnessed by the other performers, library staff, social-media officers and ordinary members of the public before it was openly criticised. Ultimately, who signs off bookings at Redbridge Libraries is irrelevant. At libraries, as elsewhere, it seems due diligence is out, and adult-themed entertainers are in. The case was just one in what has become a long line of reports about drag queens indulging in inappropriate behaviour at LGBT events aimed at kids. But Mama G has hit the headlines before, most notably in Devon in 2019, when parents were angered that he had taught a pre-school audience how to twerk.
