my point is that idea the bbc, by broadcasting from parliament square during this brexit debate, fuellingnimosity between the two sides. both sides are only there in these big numbers because of the tv cameras. the bbc should move away from parliament screen, so that we can actually get the reports without having the interruptions from the brexiteers and from the remain side. by brexiteers and from the remain side. by tuesday evening, a partial solution to the noise problem had been found. but the bbc following skypeis been found. but the bbc following skype is likely in using headset microphones, so—called madonna microphones, so—called madonna microphones in the style of pop stars or sport commentators. they headed bbc westminster said the intention was not to block out the back noise entirely. but on the news at ten on thursday, it seemed the new microphones were not excluding as much back noise as some might have wished. not excluding as much back noise as some might have wishedm not excluding as much back noise as some might have wished. if we look at it some might have wished. if we
