  1. The whole point was harassment and intimidation. That's what the police were up to.
    117
  2. Wasn't it Vine who had Alex Belfield arrested?
    56
  3. Two Tier policing.
    49
  4.  @Kian2002  Nice try, officer. We saw the footage. Sir Rowley had left a meeting and was running away. A reporter asked him about his two tier policing (hint hint: the gentlemen who assaulted officers at Manchester airport have not even been charged): Sir Rowley, in a fit of passive aggressive pique, grabbed the microphone and threw it to the ground. P.S. You may want to look at the law again, plod - journalists asking questions isn't illegal. Damaging property is.

  5. Sir Basil Rowley of Fawlty Yard. That incident reminded me of the scene in Fawlty Towers where Basil attacked his care with a branch.
    20
  6. True.
    17
  7. Brendan Kavanagh did an update video: he said that some people from the Chinese community had reached out to him and said that the shouting man was probably a "handler" (whatever that means) and that he was probably armed. He also said that the group are trying to have records of the incident deleted and he had asked his viewers to send him copies of the live stream if they have them. The police. Well, there were no surprises there.
    16
  8. My understanding is that the guy was actually cracking a joke, not plotting to damage property: but we all know the real reason this is all happening is because he made a comment that branded him a latter day heretic in this new era of the secular witch hunt.
    16
  9. Yep. I'd been subscribed to this guy for a while - he's beginning to come across as slippery and untrustworthy - and he's been giving that impression for a number of months now.
    15
  10. Well done. And those weren't friends: I'll bet they're wishing they listened to you now.
    14
  11. TBH the police have become a law onto themselves in this country, anyway: there is also the "invitation to come down to the station for a voluntary interview which you do not have to attend but you will be arrested if you don't". Crimebodge featured this on his own channel when he was arrested and charged for saying "no sh*t" to a policeman.
    13
  12. I agree: been subscribed to this chap for a while. He got a dislike from me for this video and I'll probably unsubscribe, too. He's been coming across as wishy washy at least, and disingenuous at most in the last few months. I'm beginning to distrust him.
    11
  13.  @aydy-rf9yl3qr2e  Are you saying he 'assaulted' her? Because that's the whole issue here - the weird shouting man accused him of that.
    11
  14. Pity the police don't put ANY enthusiasm into tackling soaring knife crime....or any other crime, for that matter. They were very active during the covid witch hunt because law abiding members of the public make much easier and polite targets.
    9
  15. Most police these days are like that: and the big, fat WPCs are the very worst for some reason.
    9
  16. True - not only that, he was cracking a joke - not planning damage of property.
    8
  17. I agree - and he says the place is too white anyway, so I'm sure he won't mind moving somewhere where the skin colour of the inhabitants doesn't offend him so much.
    7
  18.  @cjay2  Thank you for clarifying. There has been a lot of updates since: Mahyar Tousi TV has identified the people that accosted Mr Kavanagh and their backgrounds (on his yt channel) and it makes for interesting viewing. The piano itself (which had been donated by Elton John) is now being cordoned off and guarded so that nobody can use it - a reporter from the Daily Express is trying to contact him for comment about it. This has really blown up.
    7
  19. Exactly right. Nobody should excuse police incompetence and harassment. They didn't earn the hatred towards them out of thin air.
    6
  20. He's not. he considers himself relevant.
    6
  21. He won't explain that, he'll just make general excuses for it. Been subscribed to this guy for years - but I'm disgusted at all the excuses he's been making for the complete subversion of justice we've seen recently. I just unsubscribed.
    6
  22.  @hevchip741  Definitely he was trying to make that sound worse. Nasty individual.
    5
  23. Clearly her bosses see nothing wrong with her criminal behaviour: what does that say about them and their entire force.
    5
  24. Ah, yes: but the police don't object to Packham's political leanings.
    5
  25. Exactly. This guy (who I used to respect) is showing who he really is. Incredible how brazen he is being about it.
    5
  26. Switching my TV off many years ago is one of the best decisions I ever made: up until then I was, essentially, allowing the worst types of people into my living room everyday.
    5
  27.  @neilbarkeraswell  They didn't try very hard. They immdediately took the sides of those CCP thugs - and yes they are CCP members: they are in London filming a piece for Chinese state TV.
    4
  28. At last: a legal expert commenting on all this.
    4
  29. It certainly looks that way - or maybe he has ambitions and is using his channel to that end. Either way its a very bad look and I've just unsubscribed from his channel after being subscribed for years. Everyone shows who they really are in a crisis. I didn't expect him to be such a disappointment.
    4
  30.  @abrr2000  I see. Personally I'm amazed that bicycles are even allowed on pedestrian pathways - it makes me wonder why specific cycle paths were even created in the first place: generally I find cyclists to be selfish, ignorant an aggressive - where I am they even break the lights on busy roads. Lol- but there again I guess all I have to do is look at the caliber of people that gravitate into councils, anyway - maybe I shouldn't be expecting wisdom and good sense in the first place.
    4
  31. I worked in IT for a large media company many years ago in London: major clients, state of the art IT equipment and yet one of my main jobs was preventing the server computers from crashing. I even remember literally jumping from computer to computer in the room for 3 hours one night to stop the whole lot from crashing. Computers are far from perfect and always will be: they are nothing but glorified calculators. No-one should depend on them.
    4
  32. That was always my understanding, too. I was shocked to hear that even authorities don't seem to be sure about this. I've got into a number of confrontations with fast and aggressive cyclists on footpaths: they shouldn't be there but even if our all knowing Orwellian overlords aren't sure all I can do is shrug my shoulders.
    3
  33. Exactly.
    3
  34. Nothing surprises me about the Victorian police - I know all about them and I live in England!
    3
  35. @@homie3461 Thank you, officer: its just such a pity you're not so quick to go after actual criminals plotting actual crimes.
    3
  36.  @ewalk4692  True. Mind you: I will say one thing about Count Dankula - they won't dare touch him again: he caused them way too much of a headache.
    3
  37.  @chrisbamborough222  Lol.
    2
  38. I'm sure the officer's parents are very proud of their stunning and brave crime busting daughter. Clearly she and her colleagues have cleaned up the streets of Yorkshire so well that there is now nothing left but the pettiest of non-crimes to deal with.
    2
  39. The people who are defending them are probably exactly like them and doing it regularly themselves.
    2
  40. Come on. We all know the police are now harassing Laurence Fox for political reasons, regardless of what excuses they use.
    2
  41.  @gwpcs  Yes, that's it. Amazingly, when Robert Peel announced his intention to set up a Met. police force, he faced overwhelming resistance from the Victorian public: all of the concerns they cited have come to pass - every single one of them.
    2
  42.  @majorlaff8682  Haha!
    2
  43. Yeah I've had experience, as a pedestrian, of nearly being mown down by cyclists breaking traffic lights and whizzing down pavement and the offenders were not just 'young males' - they included young females and even males and females who are old enough to know better.
    2
  44. TBH I'm not sure UK courts would have handled it differently. There was a case some years back where a cyclist on a pedestrian walkway actually killed a young woman: he mowed her down shouting "Get out of the way because I'm not moving". He was only charged and convicted with recklessness. No jail time, I think he got a fine. The amount of people who have been arrested and convicted in the UK for posting social/political opinions is also disturbing. But that's just my layman's perception of it. I'm not legally qualified or experienced.
    2
  45. Thanks for observing the rules: I wish more cyclists did. Where I live they regularly break traffic lights (even when pedestrians are crossing) and they whizz along pathways. Unfortunately, from what I see, its the majority of them, but I do appreciate those who stick by the rules.
    2
  46. Well said. I've had serious doubts about this guy for a few months now, and I've been subscribed for years. I no longer believe the guy is trustworthy and I've just unsubscribed.
    2
  47. It was justified force. You'll rarely, if ever, hear me say a good word about today's police - but this was justified force. The man was violent, he attacked people, he broke a WPC's nose, he was restrained. And what did his bosses do? They suspended him for the doing the job the police are supposed to do. Meanwhile, in Yorkshire, where the police arrest autistic youngsters for making a comment, and run away when a riot starts, there isn't a suspension in sight. The entire leadership of the police needs to be removed.
    2
  48. On the contrary - we should encourage them to be trained there - as long as its a one-way ticket.
    2
  49. I've just unsubscribed from your channel after being subscribed for years. I don't know why you are making excuses and giving cover to this extremely dangerous direction that our justice system has taken, especially recently: only you know why you're doing that but the fact that you are is enough for me. Adios.
    2
  50. Exactly.

  51. Brendan Kavanagh did an update video: he said that some people from the Chinese community had reached out to him and said that the shouting man was probably a "handler" (whatever that means) and that he was probably armed. He also said that the group are trying to have records of the incident deleted and he asked his viewers to send him copies of the live stream if they have them. The police. Well, there were no surprises there. Officer hippo is an absolutely perfect example of today's WPCs.
    2
  52.  @aydy-rf9yl3qr2e  Yes. I saw that. I agree with you. I saw the shouty guy making false accusations against him.
    2
  53. They should all have been left to crash and fail back in 2008: they were bailed out and subsidised by the very taxpayers they then went onto foreclose on: and they continue to blight the lives of the very people whose hard earned money kept them afloat.
    2
  54.  @Fishster  He wasn't involved in any conspiracy, and he didn't commit any crime.
    2
  55. Where I live the cyclists are an absolute menace everywhere you go: on the roads, the paths and even the local park.
    2
  56. They wanted to harass, persecute and make an example of him.

  58. Let's hope the case is dropped and Fox's his crimes of free speech, wrong-think and humour don't land him in jail. Novel idea in today's Britain but we can hope.

  59. She doesn't think: she was hired because she's a big, nasty, butch hippo with a major attitude problem: just the type that the authorities in this country want.

  60. They have to be the most expensive free meals I've ever heard of.

  61. China Insider With David Chang' gave context to the entire thing. They are a Chinese TV crew in London doing a piece for Chinese state TV. CCP. That explains everything.

  62. They should have been left to crash and fail back in 2008 - but they were subsidised by the public, kept afloat - and now they continue on blighting the lives of the very people whose tax money kept them from failing.

  63. Its worse than that: he ended up dead in there. Given that muslim criminals are well organised in UK prisons and given that the authorities knew that - they sentenced him to death.
    1
  64.  @frankcarter6427  We live in a free country: if you think hanging a sandwich on a door deserves a prison sentence you're probably living in the wrong country and should move.
    1
  65. I generally avoid the police: they can take any situation and suddenly make it ten times worse: especially the big fat, butch WPCs - they're the worst.
    1
  66. ...or a youtube barrister. I just unsubscribed from this guys channel and I've been a subscriber for a number of years now. He was fine till he started making excuses for this two tier policing and justice. I guess everybody shows who they are when we hit a crisis.

  67. Beautiful comment.
    1
  68. WPC Butch is a perfect example of most WPCs these days.
    1
  69.  @Pixieworksstudio  It is ABSOLUTELY relevant, officer. A completely useless force that has lost control of the streets, doesn't prevent crime, rarely solves it and arrests people for 'hate speech'. If you don't see that as relevant to everything that happened here you're either deluded or a useless London police officer yourself. She is the poster of modern policing in this city.
    1
  70.  @nickmelling4238  The govt spends plenty of money to fund the police: they have just turned it into a useless force with political appointments at the top: officers like these are the result.
    1
  71. I never thought Canada would fast track into police state status like this.
    1
  72. Most police here these days don't seem to understand the law: they make it up as they go along. That big overweight, nasty wpc is a perfect example of today's WPCs in London.
    1
  73. Yes, his call to violence which could potentially have been interpreted as a call to harm people, which could, in turn, make people feel as if they are being threatened in fact turned out to be an actual call to violence which was so unambiguous that he was arrested today.
    1
  74. Exactly.
    1
  75.  @Auriflamme  Lol - nice justification for a government that is actually shutting down free speech and doing it under the radar so well that they have naive people like you giving them cover. You'll see where the problem lies when that same law is used against you some day.
    1
  76. So JK Rowling dares them to arrest her - there's controversy and a backlash - and they back down. Meanwhile a group lodged a complaint against the police using that very same law: the police are also now being forced to work overtime to keep pace with the onslaught of new 'crimes'. I think there may be both a lesson and a solution in those three examples. I juts think its a real pity that experts are constantly telling us what the state is doing but offering nothing to ordinary people about what they can do to protect themselves.
    1
  77. Where I live they regularly break traffic lights (even when pedestrians are crossing) and they whizz along pathways. Unfortunately, from what I see, its the majority of them. Its so bad that I wonder if they should have to take lessons and require a license, like drivers do.
    1
  78. The police themselves don't seem to know what's legal or illegal most of the time.
    1
  79. Its even worse than that. Channel 4 is the station that broadcast these allegations. The same channel 4 that was approached by a junior journalist in 2004 telling them there was organised child grooming going on in Rotherham. Channel 4 decided not to broadcast the story (covered it up) after speaking to police chiefs because they all agree running the story could lead to anti-Muslim feeling and possibly riots. For 10 years Ch 4 helped cover up the wholesale grooming, r*p* and assault of underage girls by a well connected gang.

  80. Lol.
    1
  81. I'm glad to see other people calling him out for his clearly disingenuous comments about the clearly two tier justice in this country. I don't know why he's behaving like this recently but I don't trust him anymore, and I had been subscribed to his channel for some years.
    1
  82. Police exploiting the law against us? Surely this can't be true......absolutely not.......
    1
  83. Well - if coutts and natwest are feeling the need now backtrack, do a u-turn, lie, make excuses and suddenly say they are offering him a Natwest account, that's a good thing. They're on the back foot and feeling the pressure of what they tried to do.
    1
  84. The UK police make up the law as they go along: they don't know, nor care, what the law is: and big, fat WPCs are the very worst of them.
    1
  85. Exactly. I don't know why those useless police and that (typically worthless and aggressive) wpc are being given a pass by him, here.

  88.  @emm_arr  All the violent attacks on politicians across Europe recently have been against conservative politicians, none of them are far right: NONE of the recipients of these attacks have been from the left - but all the attackers were from the left or far left. Give me the name of one single left or far left politician who has been attacked by someone from the right or from your imaginary far right.

  96. Charged. Yeah - let's see where that goes.
    1
  97. The police have been a problem for a while now: and it has nothing to do with resources: they have plenty of man power and money - it's culture. Let's not forget when the acting chief of police SIR Craig Mackey hid, locked and cowering in his vehicle with two other senior officers while a junior officer was being murdered nearby during a terrorist attack. These are the people that are leading the police.
    1
  98. "The police tried to calm things down." Come on, BBB, that's the only thing I've ever heard you say that I can't take seriously at all. That wpc was chomping at the bit for escalation - and you could see she was looking for any excuse. Kavanagh was the one whom de-escalated that.
    1
  99. True - the police always make things worse - then WPC Butch throwing a mini tantrum and saying "I'm not going to do what you tell me to do". Another fine big useless mishapen lump of a WPC.
    1
  100. I'll just add my 2 cents here for what its worth. The sticking out of the tongue is a symbolic gesture used by people who are, how would I say it, extremely hostile towards Christians, and any other religion for that matter. It may have been a coincidence, but it may also explain why that repulsive person wanted to shut down someone who was singing prayers. She needs to be fired. She used her position to enforce her own "beliefs" onto that lady and stop her singing hymns.
    1
  101. A police officer breaking the law? Not at all - he was just making it up as he goes along, like always.
    1
  102. Ah. he got his bot kicked.
    1
  103. The government is not being "firm" - they are enflaming the situation while labour are using the recent incidents as an excuse to try to force through measures that they had been hoping to bring in anyway. Meanwhile the gentlemen who attacked police at Manchester airport, breaking one WPC's nose, have not even been charged. I agree its a time for cooler heads - the government is not providing that or calming the situation - they are escalating it.

  104. Its the new direction British justice has taken, the direction that you were making excuses for just a few weeks ago.

  111.  @aydy-rf9yl3qr2e  Yes I saw that - someone else finally posted it: they touched each other shaking hands which was very different to what that nasty little CCP thug was alleging, when they suddenly turned nasty and made false accusations against him. Despicable behaviour.

  115.  @tomalex4806  Don't be too quick to defend the complete subversion of the rule of law just because it is currently being used against someone you hate: these rules were intended to be used against all of us - included you and your family and friends when they decide to widen their target base. Don't forget that.

  117.  @jonathanmonck-mason6715  Absolutely, I'm sure those worthless and corrupt police officers who are pursuing him will use that. Let's hope there are at least some sensible judges on the bench to throw this out for the witch hunt it is.

Bad attitude out on the road, bad attitude at home, too.

  121. I was wondering if I'm alone in being incredulous at your explanation of an insane, twisted, subverted and draconian legal system as if it's normal. Its not normal. People are being thrown in prison for words and the only thing you seem to discuss is the technicalities, which is surreal to me. I'm glad to see others are pointing out the same thing.
