Anti-vaxxers storm shopping centre in London’s Shepherd’s Bush

Hundreds of people against Covid lockdown and vaccinations stormed into a shopping centre of London's Shepherd's Bush district UK on Saturday.

The protesters stayed inside the Westfield London shopping centre for nearly half an hour chanting “no more lockdowns” and were later cleared by police.

Etienne Finzetto, who works in Westfield, told the Guardian the entire shopping centre was subsequently cordoned off and emptied by police.

“The staff were told to close down the shops while customers and the remainder of protesters were escorted out,” Finzetto said. “Westfield eventually messaged staff to say they were closing down, most shops (normally open until 9pm) [were] shut for the day.”
