Nigel Farage has accused the government and the Metropolitan Police of being “gutless” by not banning the ‘Million Man March’ on November 11.
Speaking on GB News, he said: “The whole weekend is one of Remembrance and Armistice Day itself, the 11th, has recently taken on more significance and what has been planned by those that organised these marches is, well, to call that to call that insensitive would be an understatement.
“The vast majority of the British public do not think this march should go ahead on Armistice Day, and yet between the police and the government, nothing is getting done.
“Of course, Suella Braverman is very good at denouncing these marches as hate marches.
“But given we have the Public Order Act; it is not beyond the 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.
“And yet, I’m afraid, we’re led by gutless people who are not prepared to do this and allow events to overtake us.
“Maybe that’ll change between now and the end of the week, but right now, it is as if the police are saying to the government, ‘you decide’ and the government is saying to the police, ‘you decide’.
“The law, as it fairly clearly states, needs The Met to recommend the march should be stopped and for the Home Secretary to act.”
