I can’t understand why they all don’t deliver the news in the studio or at least somewhere quiet.

We don’t NEED to see a reporter standing outside Westminster because invariably there will be some moron shouting.

There was a bit of a racket going on in the background when Dominic Cummings was giving his press conference in the rose garden the other week.

Of course he knows we've left. He's not ignorant.

It sounds like him again. Freedom of speech but why do the reporters have to stand within earshot?

Ps has no-one told him we've left, poor soul ? Perhaps with all the other crises someone forgot to tell him and he keeps on hollering.

I suppose if the reporters gave up, then the shouty man, whatever he’s shouting, has made his point and won.

If I were the reporter, I would probably shout as well and get fired.

He has every right to be bellowing whatever claptrap it was - I couldn’t make it out. However, why the broadcasters continue to report under those circumstances is beyond me.

Oh that funny little Brexit man

I'd forgotten about him

Is he back?

DH's exclamation when he heard it is unprintable.

The polite version is, 'Oh dear. I do hope it's not that silly man again!' grin

Possibly.
I know this country supports free speech, but isn't there a bylaw about public nuisance that could get him moved on?

Just been watching the first few minutes of BBC lunchtime news. When the political reporter was giving his summing up of the latest happenings, there was some out of sight idiot hollering off camera.

Couldn’t make out what he was yelling, but very distracting, which I suppose was his intention.

Was it the ‘Stop Brexit’ chap on the loose again?
