Man charged over anti-vaccine protest outside Javid's home

Man charged over anti-vaccine protest outside Javid's home

A man responsible for allegedly staging an anti-vaccine protest outside health secretary's home, has been charged.

In a video footage, posted online, shows someone delivering a letter with an anti-Covid vaccine message outside Sajid Javid's London address in Fulham. The man addresses the camera, claiming the letter puts the health secretary "personally on notice" for "harming" the people of Britain with vaccines.


Geza Tarjanyi, 60, from Leyland, Lancashire, was arrested in Fulham on Monday (3), the Metropolitan Police said. He is due to appear at Isleworth Crown Court next month.

The Scotland Yard says Tarjanyi, of Boundary Street, was due to appear in custody at Westminster Magistrates' Court for having an article with intent to destroy or damage property.

It happened after the Javid said he was "appalled" by the "vile behaviour" of anti-vaccine protesters who entered a test and trace centre in Meilton Keynes on 29 December.

The health secretary on the same day said that spreading lies about vaccines was "something that is costing lives".

During a visit to a vaccination centre in Lambeth, south London, he was quoted as saying: "We are working very hard across government, particularly the Home Office and the police are doing everything they can to tackle anti-vax protesters that are breaking the law."

England pupil mobile phone policy: Will schools have the resources to enforce it?

  • Schools will have to go beyond policies that allow pupils to keep switched-off phones in their bags.
  • Head teachers' unions warn that secure storage systems could create significant costs.
  • Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are taking different approaches to restricting phones in schools.

Schools in England are preparing for a stricter approach to mobile phones, with pupils expected to be unable to access their devices at any point during the school day from September 2027. But while ministers want to move beyond policies that allow phones to remain switched off in school bags, head teachers are questioning how they will pay for the change.

The government is strengthening its statutory guidance to ensure schools adopt measures that keep phones physically out of pupils' reach, rather than simply requiring them to remain unseen and unheard.
