Television Centre protest: Anti-vaxxers clash with police and try to storm former BBC studios in London

While the protest appeared aimed at the BBC’s coverage of coronavirus, the White City site is not the location of the BBC News studio, which moved to Broadcasting House in central London eight years ago when the public broadcaster shuttered its Television Centre headquarters.

The former west London site has since been redeveloped into luxury flats, with some office and studio spaces that continue to house the broadcaster’s commercial wing BBC Studios and independent production companies.

The studios at the site are now primarily leased by ITV to film Lorraine, Loose Women and Good Morning Britain.

And, to no one's surprise, the detestable Gillian McKeith, who makes a living from spreading bullshit about "alternative health" (see Ben Goldacre and his Bad Science articles/book for details) is cheering the anti-vaxxers on.

Video shared online shows a mob, believed to be protesting against vaccine passports and vaccines for children, attempting to enter the complex in White City.

The footage appeared to show scores of demonstrators gathering at nearby Shepherds Bush Green before marching on the building.

One man in the crowd can be heard saying: "It might be going towards the BBC...it looks like we're going to White City guys".

The crowd is then seen in footage outside Television Centre, where it is met by a heavy police presence.

What the video at The Independent shows is a huge number of people dressed in black - surely too many to be a coincidence. They are literally bringing back the blackshirts.
