Hmm, I take your point but when Jeremy Corbyn is the anti-establishment candidate, it can't help but be a left v right issue.

BBC's coverage is wiping the floor with Sky's at the moment

Angry scenes outside the council offices of Kensington. Protestor confronting BBC News reporter, Dan Johnson why he is asking questions such as "Why are people so angry?".

Woman then saying "Why do you think they're frustrated, you tell me!"

Just switched to the NC and they certainly have the better footage. Dan Johnson is now talking to the lead organiser of the protest.

Sky appear to have been caught short on this protest as they're relying on pre-rec VT and aerial footage.

The building is a stones throw from London Live's base I think ?

In all honesty I wish news channels would collectively refuse to show any footage of any protest than turns violent, unnecessarily disruptive or where widespread illegal activity is taking place. These people who have stormed the town hall are no better than the people who broke into the BBC studio a couple of months ago.

But the whole current anti-establishment sentiment was stoked up primarily by Nigel Farage. Wink

It's a 5 minute walk from Derry St.

Just depends on the network... though the BBC could have a COFDM transmitter on the back of the camera uplinked to the chopper hovering above if it's the BBC one.

Aye not ideal pictures on Sky but can't be easy to get a sat truck near a protest, so many variables from line of sight to the satellite to if they can park. 4g or skycopter best option for this.

Good point...any idea who is providing aerial footage?
