There’s a couple of videos that I’ve seen online that are both timely and for me really hit the spot. Because I liked them I wanted to share them with you all.
The first I found on Kosher Cockney’s X channel and was originated by the JTV Jewish TV channel on YouTube. This one is timely because we are roughly in the middle of the Jewish festival of Passover. The video is the Passover story told in Cockney rhyming slang. Coming from East London myself I just loved this and was transported back to a time when parts of East London were not, as they sadly are now, no go areas for Jews.
Here’s the video.
How many of the rhymes can you work out?
The other video is a whole lot more serious and which may have some legal implications, comes from women’s rights campaigner Posie Parker aka Kelly-Jay Keen who has produced via AI this magnificently cutting video about Greater London Mayor Sadiq Khan. This man who accumulates power like no other London leader, not even Ken Livingstone in the old Greater London Council days, has done and has used this power not for the benefit of London’s traditional inhabitants but to entrench the power of him and those around him. Instead of making London work better he has instead splurged vast sums of money on green initiatives that have buggered up roads and driven businesses out of business.
Under Khan’s rule the streets are unsafe and an already crumbing and dishevelled Central London is under weekly siege by Islamic extremists and their equally extreme Left wing allies (who have I need to say forgotten the lesson of Iran in 1978/79) and giving an appalling view of London for visitors. Outside of the centre, Jews, Sikhs and Hindus are coming under increasing pressure from violent Muslim mobs who, sensing that the Metropolitan Police is weak and the Police and Crime Commissioner, one Sadiq Khan (yes he’s got that job as well) might be ill-inclined to turn against the extremists, have turned from internal hatred of Jews, Sikhs and Hindus and started to become openly violent.
All the time the metropolis crumbles we have Khan telling Londoners that they’ve never had it so good. A prime example of Khan’s behaviour is how he has acted when Conservative London Assembly members quizzed Khan on Islamic Grooming Gang activity in London and Khan sat there and pretended that he didn’t know what the Tory member was talking about. Khan will pontificate about ‘diversity’ whilst completely ignoring problems that may have been caused by elements of such ‘diversity’.
Sorry about the rather ambulatory preamble before the video but this blog does have a lot of readers outside of the United Kingdom and they may not be familiar with the background of the video. There’s a burning hatred that a lot of people have in Britain and in London and the Home Counties in particular, have for Khan and his administration’s misrule of London and this video will really hit the spot with such people.
This video by Ms Keen really does push hard on the issue of Khan bullshitting the public and the video refers to him as Taqiyya Khan which really made me smile as I know how much the ‘taqiyya’ accusation irks some Muslims who don’t want the rest of us to talk about Islam. It’s fantastically well done and has some hard hitting bits such as accusing Khan of using LGB people and causes as a shield from criticism. The music is also excellent well chosen and the lyrics hit on target and in addition really really fits the visuals. Well done. Here’s the video

As a side note Ms Keen’s video and its use of words and images of this nature may end up being some sort of challenge to or test of the alleged ‘new order’ in speech crime policing. This video has come out after the removal of the disgraceful instrument of ‘Non crime hate incidents’ that have been stuck unknowingly on many Britons criminal record files. Too often the reason why a non crime hate incident tag was added to a person’s record was because they expressed an opinion that someone felt ‘offended’ by and who could then use rules brought in after the Macpherson report to make the police less ‘racist’, to prosecute or intimidate those who had offended them.
Removal of these non crime hate incident tags from the police’s armour has been a long fought for victory by many free speech campaigners most notably the We Are Fair Cop group who have battled the issue of these non crime hate incident labelling through the courts. Non crime hate incidents were on people’s criminal records without their knowledge but could be disclosed when the person was vetted for positions that had safeguarding responsibilities. Britons have lost jobs and job opportunities because their criminal record had an unknown non crime hate incident label on it not because they’ve committed a crime but merely because someone had been ‘offended’ and complained to the police about what had been said. There’s no guarantee that the new system will be any better than the last one though. I will await what transpires with the new rules. I don’t trust either the police or the government not to carry on recording non crime hate incidents but just give the system a different name.
Ms Keen’s video makes extensive use of the term Taqiyya in the video in reference to the, Shia originated concept that a person could lie to protect or promote Islam or hide their particular sect of Islam. This term has, when it has been used in the past by non-Muslims, got people arrested and sometimes gaoled.
It appears that the police may well have been using non crime hate incident tags as intelligence flags as to who to investigate for the ‘speech crimes’ that have become an unwelcome fixture in British law thanks to the Labour Party.
However in my view the previous ringfencing of the word ‘taqqiya’ is bullshit it’s ‘offensive’ so what? I’m offended by lots of things but I have neither the right nor should I have the ability to censor others. Freedom of speech as a concept requires the individual to be able to say what they want even if it is considered and subjectively so, by some ‘offensive’. The only line that can reasonably be drawn with regards to freedom of speech is whether the speech in question is credibly liable to incite immediate violence which is how the US First Amendment works.
In any event there are ex-Muslims who attest to the existence of Taqiyya and it is a legitimate subject of debate which the law should have no hand or interest in. Some Muslims do lie to protect or promote Islam, or to deflect attention away from their ideology’s defects or the troublesome parts of its theology just as some Communists deny that there are inherent problems with Communism and its variants and some free marketeers may be less willing to speak about the downsides of their ideology. It would be unusual to see any ideology, secular or religious, that had at some point in its existence, not engaged in some form of less than honest ‘spin’ to promote or shore up their worldview or to keep safe. The primary way that any dishonesties or spin in public discourse can be exposed is by free and open debate unimpeded by fear of arrest for using one word or a set of words that may cause some people to take offence.
As I said Ms Keen’s video could end up being a test case for the new, hopefully more free, ‘hate speech’ rules. If this video gets some traction, which knowing how hated Khan is I reckon it will be a lot of traction and Ms Keen and those associated with her or with the making and distributing of this video are left alone by the police and this can be confirmed, then it might be some evidence that the police really have dropped this non crime hate incident recording bollocks. If this video does on the other hand draw attention from the police and it turns out that the police have been recording black marks against Ms Keen and her associates because of this video and it is uncovered by for example a ‘subject access request’ for data from the police, then we will know where we stand. We will then know for sure that the British police cannot under any circumstances currently be trusted with being custodians of what should be an almost total right to speak freely.
