The Guardian reports:
Confused anti-vaccine protesters entered a test and trace centre in Milton Keynes on Wednesday, appearing to believe it was a coronavirus vaccine centre, where they were filmed shouting abuse at staff and appearing to steal equipment.
Video shared on social media showed the group of several dozen activists, led by former UKIP candidate Jeff Wyatt, walking through the facility holding signs encouraging people not to get vaccinated and criticising the BBC.
Wyatt, a former deputy leader of the far-right For Britain Movement, addressed crowds at a rally held before the storming of the Covid-19 testing site, where he claimed there are “millions” of like-minded anti-vaccine activists who have “woken up”.
The Milton Keynes Citizen reports:
Parents have taken to social media to complain about anti vax demonstrators who ‘forced their way in’ to a pantomime performance at MK Theatre this afternoon. They say the protesters created a disturbance and scared children who had gone to watch the Jack and the Beanstalk show as a festive treat.
The disruption came shortly after an anti vax mob, believed to be from the same group, stormed into the Covid test centre at CMK, carrying placards and chanting “shame on you’. In a clip shared on Twitter by a group called Silent Majority, the protesters are seen to be destroying signs, with one of them shouting shouting “the wind is changing.”
One woman holding a placard that reads “Reclaim NHS. End jab tyranny now” is seen taking takes boxes of what seem to be Covid self-testing kits then throwing them in a bin.
Imagine being so selfish – so convinced of your own righteousness – that you’d storm a Test & Trace centre, abuse staff working there, steal testing equipment, & dump it in a bin outside the centre.
In a *pandemic*.

Looks like the lead singer of The Darkness.
Hope she is identified and swiftly dealt with. pic.twitter.com/ezI2nI01dn

Shocking and disturbing for families!! Anti-vax protests are walking in at a kid’s panto at Milton Keynes. Go to parliament for your opinions, not at a family place.
Shocking Behavior. #PiersCorbyn pic.twitter.com/UUKofsvVWz— Alfie (@alfiedrake768) December 29, 2021
