One of YouTube’s most popular channels, operated by piano player Brendan Kavanagh, is going viral this week after Chinese Communist Party thugs tried to prevent him from filming in a public area in the UK.
Today in Britain the CCP demanded a piano player in a public place to stop filming because they were in the background

When Kavanagh thought the Chinese visitors wanted to play some piano with him, he invited them to join but was told by one of the women in the group that he was not allowed to film them.
“We’re not allowed?” the shocked musician asked, with the woman responding, “No. You’re not allowed because we’re for Chinese TV. This is non-disclosable.”
“So, we’ll get in trouble with the Chinese government?” the YouTuber asked, with the woman answering, “Maybe not, I don’t know.”
A man in the group of CHICOM propagandists told Kavanagh it’s their “right” to not be filmed in public and threatened to take “legal” action, and the pianist explained, “In the UK it’s a free country and anyone” — but was cut off by another Chinese woman who claimed she had a “choice” whether or not to be on camera.
“But, we are in Britain, we’re not in China,” Kavanagh answered, adding, “We’re not in Communist China.”
At that point, the Chinese man said, “Alright, this is racist now,” and became extremely upset and threatened the YouTube piano player.
When the woman responded by saying she was British, the musician asked why she was carrying a Chinese flag and gently pointed at the banner which caused a man in the group of CCP stooges to suddenly shout, “Stop touching her! Do not touch her! You are not the same age, please do not touch her.”
Police eventually arrived, and the infuriated Chinaman assumed he’d get help from the authorities but was quickly told, “It’s a public space,” when pleading his case.
Meanwhile, a female officer exercised a bit of good old-fashioned British authoritarianism by asking Kavanagh’s cameraman to stop filming and telling the YouTuber, “Do not livestream this on your channel because this is a police matter.”
The woman bobbie would fit right into Communist China as she continued trying to suppress the pianist’s right to film and even tried getting him to delete the footage from his camera!
“You’re not their private security agent and we’re in a free country,” he told the officer. “The problem is not from us, the problem is they are coming over telling us what to do.”
The Community Notes feature of accurately noted underneath an upload of the confrontation, “British filming law specifically protects this type of content: ‘You do not need to ask passers-by for permission to feature their faces in a film. Under UK law, the copyright of film shot in a public place resides with the filmmaker.’”

Following the encounter, Kavanagh issued a call to action and asked his followers to download the video for safekeeping just in case it’s deleted from YouTube because the Chinese were allegedly trying to get it removed.
In a second update, Kavanagh confirmed the Communist Party of China is trying to get the video deleted and said he’d be going on some talk shows to further discuss the confrontation.
With secret police stations in nations across the globe and groups like this trying to suppress free speech, it seems as if the Communist Chinese are beginning to push their dystopia on the rest of the world.
