Sky News correspondent forcibly removed from Tory election campaign launch live on air

Sky News political correspondent Darren McCaffrey was thrown out of a Conservative party campaign launch event on Wednesday live on air.

McCaffrey said that the party claimed the event was being covered by a pool camera which was supporting broadcasters with footage and therefore his presence wasn't allowed. The clip showed McCaffrey being forcibly removed by a security guard as he attempted to explain why he was being kicked out of the building

Sky News just got a taster of independent media who receive this treatment far more often - and far too often!!

[Plume_Serpent]

This is a very confusing watch due to the fact that most people hate The Tories and Sky News so whose side are we on for this debacle, lol.

[btqtppx]

Maybe the security guard was more of a BBC news kind of guy

[dominicmckevitt]

How do like it when the system turns on you.

[goodvibes]

That moment when Sky news find a bigger liar than themselves...😂😂😅😅

[sherpafan]

I don’t know who to support in this. The disgusting Tories or the Slimy Media. Neither I think

[ruledtrendy]

So the Tories are capable of kicking out uninvited people

Hmm 🤔

[adrianricketts]

Afterwards the security were removed and deported.

The poor man that died on the Singapore flight happens to live opposite my mother in law. Sky News were doorstepping the house hours before his name was released to the public. I wonder how?

[MrGrantSloan]

The tories losing it already. Magic they're flapping.

[wqszvtw]

Sly news should be kicked out of every event!

[markbates]

Dr disrespect has let himself go a bit.

[stevedonoghue]

if it’s a private event, why to journalists think they’re entitled to be there?

[cunninglinguist-hudz]

That security guard is currently on a flight to Rwanda

[nealc.]

Yay. About time journo's realise they're nothing special . . .

[pchor]

Huge respect for the security! 👏 👏 bravo

[jethrobradley]

He's lucky. Some people had to attend that event

[akilla]

Looked like a show for the cameras and everyone's falling for it.

[AnnabelleSooklal]

This defines the conservative disaster impending

[peregrineslim]

Sky News trying to make itself the story, as usual.
