It’s not the ChiComs who bothered me. ChiComs do what ChiComs do.
It’s that pathetic British policewoman who takes the cake. Instead of lecturing the ChiComs about freedom, she decided to lecture the piano guy.
I’m surprised (seriously) that she didn’t arrest piano guy for some sort of bogus public order offense. Too many cops (both in the US and the UK) just love to do that. Mindlessly obey, or we’ll take you away.

I remember one particular night
I was playing the guitar in a little alleyway
Just off of Wardour Street in Soho
And I got busted by the police
This policeman come up and dragged me and my guitar
And my hat full of pennies off to the police station
Anyway, the next day
I had to appear in Marlborough Street Police Court
And it was quite a day
Police officer giving his evidence
“I was proceeding in a southerly direction, milord
When I heard strange sounds
Coming from Wardour Place, milord
A sort of ‘boo-gee woo-gee’ music was being played
On further investigation, I saw the defendant
Standing there with a guitar and an old ‘at
On the floor collecting pennies
Well, I decided that he was contravening
A breach of the peace there, as there was
A traffic jam about five miles long down Wardour Street
Wondering what all the fuss was about
So then I arrested the defendant”
