Free Speech has been killed in an ironic twist of fate, allegedly protecting radical Islam in the streets of London at a site known for the birth of debate between civilized people.
“Here is the thing, she had it coming,” a British Muslim man is heard discussing in a group of men.
Key Point: Speakers Corner is known as a place that the British people can go to debate issues. Recently a woman, who had converted from Islam was stabbed, in an apparent string of stabbings there, and the story is not alarming to law enforcement or Government officials, and a group of Muslims are recorded saying that she had the stabbing coming.

“So a woman (ex-muslim) wearing a Charlie Hebdo t-shirt was stabbed today in broad daylight at Speakers Corner by a muslim and there’s ZERO outrage, the BBC haven’t even picked up on the story. If ever I saw a civilisation in decline,” one poster wrote on Twitter.
The BBC reported that the Meto police on hand claimed that the woman’s injuries were minor.
Although the major papers carried the story many hours after the incident had gone viral on social media, according to subjects in London, it did not receive much fanfare in their own legacy media outlets.
The UK Guardian reported the incident was “distressing”:
A woman has been slashed with a knife at Speakers’ Corner in London’s Hyde Park, police have said.
The 39-year-old was taken to hospital after the attack on Sunday afternoon at the site, where people gather for public speeches and debates.
The Metropolitan Police said she received a minor slash injury to the head, which was not life-threatening.
Footage shared on social media shows someone dressed in black approaching a woman wearing a Charlie Hebdo T-shirt.
She is later seen clutching her right hand close to her body, with what appears to be blood at her temple, as she is helped into a police van by officers who were nearby.
Charlie Hebdo is a French satirical magazine that was targeted in a deadly attack by Islamist extremists in 2015 after it published a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed.
Twelve people were killed in the attack at the magazine’s offices in Paris.
A knife was found after the attack in Hyde Park, but no arrests have yet been made.
Officers based in Westminster are working with the specialist Met unit which patrols the royal parks to investigate and try to find the person responsible.
Speakers’ Corner: The home of free speech
The Met said officers were called just after 15:30 BST to reports that a woman had been assaulted.
A statement said she was treated by the London Ambulance Service before being taken to a central London hospital.
Det Supt Alex Bingley, of the Central West Command Unit which covers policing in Westminster, said: “This was clearly a very distressing incident for the woman involved and officers have spent time with her, whilst she was being treated for her injury, to get an account of what happened.
“We know that this assault was witnessed by a number of people, many of whom captured it on their phones. I would ask them, if they have not already done so, to contact police.
“We remain in the early stages of our investigation and are working hard to trace the person responsible.
“I would ask people not to speculate on the motive for the attack until we have established the full facts.”
Of concern is that there has been a long string of stabbings of Christians at that same spot.
As the #BBC haven’t mentioned the Christian preacher stabbed at Speakers Corner, I must assume their reporters haven’t heard about it – so here it is.
A major religious hate crime in Britain, ignored by the National Broadcaster.
