Millbank (Tory HQ) became a 'hostile environment' when we were covering it. Here's some tips for anybody who may be in this type of environment in the future...
1. Make sure you have an exit route.
2. Communication: Make sure the newsroom knows your location at all times.
3. Have a clear plan: Where will you be at certain times
4. Have a 'fixer' - somebody who can guide you around the dangerous area in question. For example, NUS were our fixers at Millbank.
5. If you do get in a sticky situation: immediately give in and give up your camera.
6. Don't try and fight back.
7. Don't resist if police go to arrest you.
