British Anti-Vaxxers Try Storming BBC, Attack Wrong Building Entirely

It’s Wonkette but there’s a link there to the Washington Post story on it.

A mob of angry anti-vaccine protesters tried to shut down the British Broadcasting Corporation's news operations Monday, only to be thwarted by its leaders' complete ignorance about where in London the BBC actually is these days. The protesters tried to invade Television Centre in West London, although it hasn't housed the BBC since 2013.

The Beeb moved its operations to another building, Broadcasting House, five miles away, and the Television Centre building was remodeled to house upscale apartments, a private club, some restaurants, and, yes, some TV studios owned by the BBC, but which are rented out for morning news and daytime talk shows on ITV, a completely different network. Nonetheless, the protesters showed up at the old offices to condemn the BBC for "promoting" the vaccines as a reasonable public health effort.

As to why the anti-vaxxers went to the wrong location, we can only speculate that it was some sort of homeopathic protest aimed at influencing the BBC's coverage by barging into its former offices, creating a harmonic vibration that would bring the current BBC to its knees.

Or they could just be dipshits.

1. Geez, didn't any of them watch the sitcom W1A?

My PBS station just started running it and it’s hilarious. It’s a satire of the BBC and filmed in the Broadcasting House, and the exterior of the building is featured in the opening credits and in many scenes throughout the episodes.

Unless they’ve burned down their 5G tower.
