RISHI Sunak has backed calls to ban a pro-Palestine protest due to take place in London on Armistice Day.
The UK Government’s Security Minister Tom Tugendhat has already written to Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and the Metropolitan Police asking them to stop any protests taking place on Saturday in central London.
“It is a moment where we remember those we lost, and I think for the whole country the Cenotaph is sacred ground and the idea that on a day like Remembrance Day you would have a protest going past it, I don’t think that is acceptable.”The Metropolitan Police said that groups had not made any plans to protest on Remembrance Sunday but that a significant demonstration was due to take place on Saturday, with officers in place to ensure they do not “interfere” with Armistice Day events.
“I have asked the Home Secretary to support the Met Police in doing everything necessary to protect the sanctity of Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.” Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
