What happened at Addenbrookes?

This is notes as not sure what happened or what video exists. Will be interesting case of how journalism happens. Print mixed, social media first, telly sometime later.

Artist Taxi Driver ( @chunkymark ) has had to take down a video compilation on Twitter. But could be positive, maybe the copyright is worth something and soon to be exclusive.

Yesterday early evening news BBC and Sky both used what I guess is a pool clip. Brexit resolution is "oven ready" say Boris in clothing with NHS logo. Just needs a majority in parliament. No questions, just another simple claim on the day the last one runs out of time.

This morning Daily Mirror in print page 8 reports trainee doctor who was not allowed to ask any questions. Video online. Print Guardian page 9 small story "Johnson booed on hospital visit" .  PM "appeared to get a frosty reception"..."national media were not invited to attend" . ( @rowenamason )

From #Brexitcast it appears that @ChrisMasonBBC was there but no mention of any booing or anything negative at all. They just played the clip about "oven ready" .

Other online video is from a phone not very good sound showing booing inside and better camera about the exit, suggests a problem atmosphere.

On #politicslive today Laura Parker started to talk about this but Jo Coburn seemed not to know about it and moved on. ( @Jo_Coburn @PeoplesMomentum )

I think it was Krishnan Guru-Murthy who raised questions about the pool system. It seems to be a way to control access. How long will telly put up with this sort of thing? ( @krishgm )

So this is a bit more than a tweet. Clues please. What happened?
