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.

a quick google shows many sources reporting widely different numbers of complaints - but all the sources tend to be the ones that say "I see christmas is banned now" as well


I'm not convinced many people ARE complaining about this. Storm in a teacup. As you were... etc

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.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
