Nigel Farage slams inaction over Remembrance Day protests<\/h3>\n

Nigel Farage slammed the Met Police and the Government for failing to take action to ban the pro-Palestine protest planned for Armistice Day.<\/p>\n

The GB News presenter fumed at Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Home Secretary Suella Braverman and Scotland Yard for not moving to block the march in this Saturday.<\/p>\n

There are fears the rally in central London will disrupt Remembrance Day events commemorating the nation’s war dead.<\/p>\n

Speaking on his GB News show, the former Ukip and Brexit Party leader said: “The vast majority of the British public do not think this march should go ahead of Armistice today.<\/p>\n

“And yet between the police and the Government nothing is getting done.”<\/p>\n

Mr Farage then read a Met Police statement issued just before his show in which they urge organisers of the demo to “urgently reconsider”.<\/p>\n

The GB News presenter went on: “And what do we get from the Home Secretary and the Prime Minister?<\/p>\n

“Well of course Suella’s very good at denouncing these marches as ‘hate marches’.<\/p>\n

“But given we have Public Order Act it is not beyond wit of man for the police and the Government to actually show some courage and some leadership and to do what most of us think is the right and appropriate thing.<\/p>\n

“And yet I’m afraid we’re led by gutless people who are not prepared to do this and who allow events to overtake us. Maybe that will change between now and the end of the week.<\/p>\n

“But right now it’s as if the police are saying to the Government you decide and the Government are saying to the police you decide.<\/p>\n

“The law, as it fairly clearly states, needs the Met to recommend the march should be stopped for the Home Secretary to act.”<\/p>\n
