Sunak has weighed in on the pro-Palestine protests planned for Remembrance Day. He released a statement this afternoon slamming the planned march as “disrespectful“, and said he’d asked Suella Braverman to support the Met to do “everything necessary” to “protect the sanctity” of the day:
“To plan protests on Armistice Day is provocative and disrespectful, and there is a clear and present risk that the Cenotaph and other war memorials could be desecrated, something that would be an affront to the British public and the values we stand for. The right to remember, in peace and dignity, those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for those freedoms must be protected. 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.”
