“We Are Not In Communist China” | Bizarre Viral Confrontation Of Musician Brendan Kavanagh

A video capturing the moment a group of individuals waving Chinese flags insisted that a pianist stop filming during a lighthearted performance has triggered outrage after it went viral. Brendan Kavanagh, a KZbinr, shared a video on his channel, showcasing him playing the piano at London's St Pancras International station amid bustling commuters.
As the footage progresses, several people waving Chinese flags appear in the background, eventually approaching the musician and instructing him to stop filming. A baffled Mr. Kavanagh questions why he should stop filming and emphasizes to the group, who claim to be shooting for Chinese TV, that the "UK, it's a free country" and that they're in public.
Mike Graham speaks with Brendan Kavanagh and professor of 'woke studies' Eric Kaufmann.

She lost all sympathy from me at that point 😂. I gave them a little sympathy, assuming they didn't know the law is different. BUT, if she's truly British, she is well aware of the law.

[@akoilngas1215]

@@liverpooljft9623 Zero sympathy from me. Ignorance of the law is not a defense. If you are in a foreign country, it's on you to understand their laws. It's on you to educate yourself about the laws of the country you enter, and I am sure the Chinese government briefed the woman in the make-up and the shouty man both before they were assigned to run programs at the Chinese embassy. They have been already identified, so there are no excuses here. Dr. K is bringing up very good points regarding Western freedoms and the stupidity that constantly pressures us to limit our freedoms. The Chinese shouty guy used the race card and the protect-women card to very good effect. You can see a Caucasian woman frantically straining her neck to see what is happening after the Communist started yelling about not touching the woman. These are pressure points in Western culture, and the Chinese clearly recognized these pressure points because they were using them to manipulate the exchange. These people should be kindly asked to leave the U.K. They, unfortunately, do not understand U.K. law, and they were caught on camera behaving deplorably, harassing a U.K. citizen, and escalating a simple situation. It's time for them to return to China if the Chinese way is so much better.

I was watching Ben Pearson, ex Police Interceptor now KZbinr, talking about Auditors a while back and he said that, whilst they can be a nuisance and they often can get too close, too involved and too in the way of a situation, ultimately them filming officers and incidents is a good thing. He said that the general feeling in his Police Force was that they simply provided another camera angle and, if you're policing correctly, that should help your cause. If you aren't policing correctly and you're using your police power badly then proper Police like that even less than how they feel about auditors and it enables the Force to get rid of such people. Basically, in Ben's opinion, Auditors (not that Brendan is an Auditor, by the way) are a bit of a pain but he welcomed them. It's a shame Ben isn't able to Police anymore but I'm sure there are still plenty who think like him in the Force ... I'm just not sure Kerry of the British Transport Police is one of them.

This kind of behaviour is everywhere. I teach a few online classes in Canada. One time, a Chinese student realized that I am Taiwanese, wanted to introduce himself in a video call after lecture. After some initial pleasantries, he proceeded to lecture me about how Taiwan (in his words) "should just become a part of China." In my mind, I was thinking "Excuse me?" A lot of their beliefs about the world are deeply rooted by the Chinese Communist Party. I never want to engage with that student ever again.

[@handsomejustin]

He's completely right and it's beyond crazy, sad and pathetic for Chinese people like you in province of Taiwan (that has more traditional Chinese culture and traditions) to consider themselves anything other than Chinese. I'm Chinese growing up in Canada and I've never met a single CBC or ABC who consider themselves American and Canadians only, and being Chinese is something that we all oversea Chinese people are proud of regardless of our political ideaologies and origin of birth just like Italians are proud of being Italian even if they have never been to Italy before. Wannabes like you are beyond sad and patheitc. But your Taiwanese politicians have sold your country and people to the terrorist USA long time ago, they don't give a fuck about your livelyhood because they make money on war while you pay money and lives for being an ignorant corporate slave sheep who are poorer version of Chinese people.

[@peek-a-boobear2116]

I lived in China for over 8 years and yes, Chinese citizens are brainwashed from an early age to follow and worship the CCP. Not as bad as North Korea but it's still there. I doubt your student had any original thoughts on that subject but only what he/she had been taught to believe by the CCP.
