  3. The behaviour of the BTP officer is, if anything, more sinister than that of the Chinese ‘TV crew’. I thought by now that coppers in this country were clear on the rules around filming: there is no expectation of privacy in a public place and if you don’t like it you can walk away. And her insinuations around race were disgraceful.

  4. That female police officer was so pathetic

    She made me more mad than the CCP agents

  6. And I, for one, welcome our new Chinese overlords

    I’d like to remind them that as a trusted Reddit personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in shouting at pianists

  7. It is odd for Chinese to admit they are also British citizens. China doesn’t allow dual citizenship.

  8. He should send it directly to Chinese Embassy and Security Service, this tourist don’t want to be recorded for some reason – they probably don’t want to Communist Party know about their sightseeing.

  9. The female officer was more enraging to watch than the actual Chinese people telling him to stop filming. You could see her brain break a little when he said “what would you say if I went to China and started lecturing people about what the can and can’t do in public in their own country?”

  10. Just to be pedantic – St Pancras train station isn’t a public area. I would expect anyone filming, for the purposes of monetising on a platform such as TikTok or YouTube, would need to follow all the details here – [https://stpancras.com/filming-photography-and-events](https://stpancras.com/filming-photography-and-events)

    As they say over on r/AmItheAsshole .. ESH

    Now there isn’t an expectaction of privacy in places like this, but I would not expect to be put onto a monetised platform against my consent. I would full expect people who expressed an interest in not appearing in this guy’s video to have their faces blured.

    The Chinese guys would have been better just walking on rather than having the chat with the indoor-sunglasses-wearing pedant.

  11. Bruh he’s playing “Kitchen in the dungeon” so isn’t exactly innocent of not being a wind-up. Lmao

  13. This is ridiculous and the man screaming ‘do not tough her’ is unhinged.

  14. One thing that struck me the most, is how the hell this woman even says you can’t say Chinese are communist. What the hell ??

  15. I personally think the guy is a baiting cunt. The intention from the off was to piss off the group of Chinese people behind otherwise he wouldn’t have mentioned them from the very beginning. I’ve seen a couple of his videos now and the one constant in them is disagreement, him being intentionally difficult, condescending and borderline racist

    Comes across like an attention seeking prat who couldn’t make it playing music from the privacy of his own home so has resorted to doing this..

  17. You could tell from the start the way the conversation wih the Police was going to go when the female officer approached making the gesture to put the camera down. It was obvious from that point that she had no idea about the right to film while in public.

    One thing I thought was interesting (and I don’t know if it came up in the discussion or not because I was watching on mute with subtitles on) but I believe that they’re on private property so the right to film is granted by the property/land owner. I’ve seen videos in the past where shopping centres and railway stations have not permitted filming and so that would potentially come into play in this case.

    Either way, the Chinese delegation can FRO.

  20. This is caused by people like YOU, i.e. the vanilla liberals of UK Reddit, who for years have been hostile to freedom of speech.

    You’re against freedom of speech when comes to immigration policy; in favour of it when it comes to China and Russia.

    You tie yourselves in knots of hypocrisy. This police officer is getting her ideas from the likes of YOU.

  21. Wanting privacy is a you problem. If you’re walking through a public rail station, you expose yourself to the possibility of being in the background of some random person’s footage. You made that choice.

  22. Because British capitalists have made things so great for everyone

  23. If you close your eyes and listen.

    It sounds like Micky Flanagan arguing with the CCP.

    Love it. 😂

  24. They asked not to be filmed. They could also move a bit to the side.
