A group of anti-vaxxers who reportedly trashed a Covid test and trace site have been labelled as “d***heads” by an MP.
Milton Keynes North MP Ben Everitt tweeted footage of the group protesting outside the the site in his constituency, breaking into the site and then allegedly stealing vital testing equipment.
One person also dumped a stash of what looked like PCR tests into the bin at the site in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.
Mr Everitt tweeted: “What a bunch of d***heads.
“The staff & volunteers at our vax centres do an amazing job – I hope @ThamesVP get the evidence needed to bring these morons to justice.
“Nobody deserves this at work.
“If you have any videos or info, call 101 or report online with ref 604 29/12/2021.”
The shocking footage also shows a man throwing an orange traffic cone at the centre's entrance.
Despite one of the men in the two-minute long video shouting at those involved to “keep it peaceful”, the test centre was stormed, and one woman stood inside it holding a sign which read: “Reclaim the NHS, end jabs tyranny now”.

The incident was slammed on social media, especially as one of the campaigners compared the vaccine to “genocide”.
Political commentator Bella Wallersteiner tweeted: “I believe any form of vaccine mandate presents a serious threat to civic liberty but comparisons with the darkest periods of our history is just idiotic.
“I will continue to speak out against such pernicious analogies.”
And NHS doctor Samantha Batt-Rawden said: “Breaking in to an NHS facility, screaming at staff and calling them murderers, and stealing medical supplies.
“Whatever you think about the vaccines, or masks, or frankly the NHS – This is not ok.”
