Piers Corbyn, the brother of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, was one of several protesters taken away in handcuffs during protests against the coronavirus lockdown in London on Saturday. The astrophysicist was taken away after declining to leave when asked by a police officer and declining to give his details when asked. He claimed that 5G and the coronavirus pandemic were linked, calling it a “pack of lies to brainwash you and keep you in order”.
