Dark Tales from the River Thames II

[@CuriousWorldProductions]

This is the re-upload of a video previously removed by the powers that be. I have made some narrative and visual edits, and removed the offending material, so hopefully this version will remain. Thank you again to all those who expressed their feelings towards the unjust removal. Apologies if the subtitles are a little off, I haven't had a chance to perfect the timings yet.

[@Agapy8888]

Great. The captions are not off.

So what as worng in the end

[@medusashubby804]

Hi C'W'👋 I really find your channel interesting and very professionally undertaken so am a bit dismayed and quizzical as to why it was removed and you were ordered to resubmit it.I personally didn't see anything offensive in it🤷🏻‍♂️ It would be nice if KZbin actually gave a coherent reason to us all. I can only suspect that a relative complained about something or the Masonic symbol perhaps?? I dunno,we probably won't be given an answer as we are in general just treated like a lot of stupid Sheep. No offence to any 🐑 out there🙄 ☮💚🖖 bruv and keep it up as you are very good.(Bollocks to 'em)

[@ianmacfarlane1241]

Bummer that you had to edit and repost it. I had quite an interesting conversation with a couple of people in the comments, particularly about Mrs Jacoby - I'm surprised that there was anything "offensive" in it - the quality of your work is outstanding. When I think about the amount of garbage on KZbin it's quite galling that you had to do this again - it's done now - onwards and upwards.

I have asked on several channels if anyone can explain how you tube censoring works and, so far, not 1 person understands or can explain! It's incomprehensible that 1 channel has the word "rape" edited, yet another can graphically detail a horrific sexual murder! Dear C.W. Thank you for putting up with this nonsense and working so hard re-re-re editing to bring us so much pleasure! 😊😊😊😊😊

[@zx1906]

I watched the original twice so I’m watching this one at least four times so you can get the views back… you deserve it! Love the content you produce and it shows how much hard work you put into it. So, thank you!!

[@openeyz]

"God's Banker" could be a stand alone episode. That was a VERY interesting case. IMO the world isn't ready to know what the people in power are willing and have to do to keep that power.

[@claudialunden3691]

I’m surprised and shocked to hear dirt on The Polish Pope. I knew none of this.

[@MartysWhiteSuit]

I'm glad your video has been allowed to remain after uploading it once again. You have a good channel, full of informative content, easy to listen to for those wishing to avoid the usual pop culture. They are neither speculative or sensationalist.

[@CuriousWorldProductions]

Thank you, Neil.

[@antonkovalenko364]

Definitely grating how YT plies imagined and manufactured outrage on professionally produced and quality content, but completely overlooks the inane garbage that the algorithm wants to shove in my face.

[@peternakitch4167]

Offensive? Having watched the original I am left scratching my head about what would be offensive. YT is a capricious and petty god as some genuinely offensive channels and advertising seem to lead a charmed and protected existence.

[@elisabird6245]

Has anyone else been denied access to a KZbin video unless they provide proof of their age? What is that about? It´s weird because one was a music video I´d watched several times before and the other was one of a series I´d seen the other parts of. And it´s easy enough to check anyone´s date of birth.

[@amethyst1826]

@@elisabird6245 Oh it's getting really stupid!! One person I watch a lot, a crafter 'Claire's Crafty Corner' has to keep turning on her comments because YT keeps turning them off!! Others are putting in gaps in their speech where some words are so as not to upset YT. And half of them aren't even that bad!!

[@elisabird6245]

@@amethyst1826 It´s crazy isn´t it? You can watch all sorts of terrible things happening, but are expected to get upset about specific words. All they really need is to say they are for adult audiences. Frankly any adult who can´t handle such things has the option not to watch KZbin at all. They could take the dog out, or clean out the fridge; maybe a little light grouting...

[@TheTahirArchive]

A party of four young men determined to walk up the middle of the river as far as they could, not using any paths hitherto marked out; the London Post recorded that “they still boldly went on, and none of them have ever since been heard of.” It was not clear whether the cold, or the river, killed them. (Peter Ackroyd, 'Thames', 2007).

[@johndavies1090]

Brilliant stories - I'd always been puzzled by the Blackfriars Bridge business, which makes sense with your narrative. As an example of KZbin ignorance and stupidity, a butcher here in the English West Midlands had his site censored and deleted because it used the word 'fagot'. In England this is a perfectly respectable and polite word for a kind of traditional meatball dish served with onion gravy. Apparently it means something else in America.... Anyway the local MP even took the outrage to Parliament, and I think KZbin got what they deserved! Given the barbaric wartime executions films, or dates with Jolting Josie (Edison's Rocking Chair) in US prisons that are allowed, there seem to be some very strange double standards somewhere.

[@CuriousWorldProductions]

Yes, KZbin is a very confusing and confused platform. I think the problem is, it's so vast that it now has to be monitored using AI. Not much human common sense involved in its running at all.

When I began watching this, the name “Jacoby” tickled my memory. Not a common name, but I was sure that I had heard it before. After much thought and a little Googling, , it came to me. It was the name of one of the families killed by the Tooth Fairy in the movie, “Red Dragon”. But in the movie, it was spelled ‘Jacobi’.

[@katiebaird2696]

I immediately thought of actor Derek Jacobi.

The first part was obviously self defence and protection for her daughters. When she killed the next man it could have been PTSD of fear of drunkeness.
