    Monkey business

    Angry parents have slammed a library service in London after a monkey costume with a fake penis was used to promote a children's summer reading challenge at the weekend.

    An actor in a multi-coloured outfit, with genitalia and nipples, was brought out, as part of an event to encourage children to look at more books over the holidays.
    The library, which is run as an arm of Redbridge Council called Vision, first responded to comments online about the penis with "if you have got it, flaunt it".
