Rasta Mouse

Recommended Posts

There has been, a lot of discussion on the radio regarding a children?s programme called Rasta Mouse this is about a Rastafarian mouse with a Jamaican accent that sings and solves crimes it is on cbeebies there has been complaints about the programme being racist.


I have spoken to my friends and colleagues who have children in this age group about the programme they do not find this programme racist I feel that is great to see cultural diversity on a children?s programme it is also good to show a Rastafarian even though it is in a form of a mouse in a good light as this does not happen often.

I managed to contact reggae star Eek-A-Mouse for a quote on the 'furore'.


"Why da people dem play f*ckery wit' me whiskery bredrin? Me tell you it's politrickal correctness gone mad ina Babylon".


He left advising everyone to buy his LP U-Neek and put the final track 'Let The Children Play' on heavy rotation.


I declare the matter closed.

Did that apply back in the day, when children were watching The Clangers did children go around making noise at each other. You will find children in general do speak to each other in a different way to there parents quite a lot of them nowadays speak street and they can also speak properly it is also down to parents intervention as well.

    • I think the concern is the mast being so close to a school as well?
    • There is a planning application to put a mobile phone mast at the top of Dog Kennel Hill.  Residents of Camberwell Grove and their friends in the Camberwell Society are fighting it - defacing their nice conservation area with ugly laminated posters!  They do not benefit from it as reception is fine on their side of the hill. https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=S9IKT2KBN1200 I do not think there are any health hazards from being near phone masts (or at least they are negligible relative to everyday risks we all face).  Anyway, here is what the NHS has to say about them: https://111.wales.nhs.uk/encyclopaedia/m/article/mobilephonesafety/#Risks I imagine this will spark some lively debate!        
    • Hi Laura, Thank you for your interest. I only walk 2 dogs at a time and your mum’s little one will be walking with my own 12 year old  Tibetan/poodle cross(send you her picture) and I charge £20 p/walk, pick up and drop. If it’s from Monday to Friday then we can talk and see what’s best for both of us. Sometimes if the weather is good we can stay at the park a bit longer than a hour…😊 I can only start the walks from Monday April 8th. Thank you, regards  M
