It is good to see that parts of rural UK are still holding out against the tide of Godlessness that sweeps across that benighted land like a wave of raw sewage.
Now had they asked Old Ezekiel Bathfire about this, I would have given the same answer: A God created monkey can be subdued by a cattle prod or mace, however, a robot monkey is a horse of a different color! Just imagine a lightening strike disrupting the robot’s electrics so that it goes on a killing spree, staring at people and murdering them with x-ray eyes! You would ask “Is $20,000,000 insurance enough?”
I’m surprised that a graven image of a monkey god is allowed at all! And what sort of excuse is the fact that the robot killer monkey knows pi squared? Nine is not a particularly difficult number to work out!
You will also notice that the communist (like Demoncrat) group leader isn’t bothered, despite the monkey “springing at” him! I suppose a few hell-bound souls are of no consequence to him as he plans to wipe out half the population in a purge anyway!
NB: It will not go unnoticed that the Salvation Army is classified as just as dangerous to the soul as a robot monkey is to the Temple of Christ which is our unworthy body. Quite right too!
Organ grinder and his toy monkey 'banned' from busking due to health and safety reasons
An organ grinder and his monkey were banned from the streets on health and safety grounds.
Paddy Cooke, 64, from Matlock in Derbyshire, and his stuffed toy Simon cannot perform until they complete a risk assessment.
Ripley Town Council in Derbyshire decided to cancel the act who were due to perform in the town centre during the summer holidays. The decision was made by licensing bosses at Amber Valley Borough Council.
Paddy, wears Victorian costume as he walks around playing his organ, a copy of an instrument used more than 150 years ago. The former fireman has been grinding organs for 15 years.
He said: 'It's not as if I have a live monkey which might jump at people. Mine is a battery-operated interactive toy and the best I have ever had.
He says things like "I want a banana" and even once offered to tell me the sum of pi squared.
'Simon is sometimes quiet and sometimes chatty. He's very realistic but is no danger to anyone.
'I suppose someone might trip over a paving slab when listening to the music and blame me but I have been doing this for years without a problem.'
Paddy, whose two sons are also organ grinders, was hired as part of the summer entertainment provided by the town council and has £10m ($20m) public liability insurance cover. He is also a member of the actors' union, Equity.
But before his act hit the streets the authority received orders from Amber Valley Borough Council which demanded to see a general risk assessment before letting street acts go ahead.
It wanted to study a list of hazards and know how they could be made safe, and even how many people might watch the shows. Ripley Mayor Lynn Joyes said: 'The risks are very low and how do performers know how big an audience they'll get?
'That depends on the weather. If it's raining you might get five, but if the weather is nice, there'll be 105.'
Labour (Communist) group leader Geoff Carlile said: 'This is typical of bureaucracy gone mad. This was sprung on us at the last minute and left us in a difficult situation.'
The council was told the ruling also applies to dance groups, clowns and brass bands, including the Salvation Army.
