THE TELEGRAPH: Anti-fascist protesters demonstrating against BNP leader Nick Griffin's appearance on Question Time have broken through a police cordon outside BBC Television Centre.
About 30 people managed to get past police lines during struggles with officers drafted in to protect the entrance to Television Centre in White City, west London.
Some appeared to have gained entry to the building where they were pursued by police.
About 50 officers were deployed to police the demonstration
Scores of protesters converged on Television Centre ahead of the filming of the programme, which is due to be screened on BBC1.
A police helicopter circled overhead as officers guarded the front entrance.
Speaking after entering the building, Mr Griffin said of the protesters: "I was rather expecting that.
"The Labour Party financed groups from all over the country bringing a mob down here today. It was always going to be a fairly big event."
Police claimed they had more than enough resources to deal with the crowd, which was expected to grow throughout the evening. >>> | Thursday, October 22, 2009
