I also can&#8217;t help thinking there&#8217;s a religious element to this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mr Farage went on: &#8220;Well he&#8217;s in for a hell of a shock because Scotland &#8211; just like the rest of the UK &#8211; the vast, clear majority of the public do not want this march to go ahead on Armistice Day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And to claim that everybody else is turning this into a culture war. No this is the UK, Scotland is a part of it, these are our traditions, our cultures, and this is at the very centrepiece of our national year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For a country that is far less religious than it used to be, there is something about these services on and around Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day that really reach out way beyond people who will bow their heads for a moment&#8217;s silence but wouldn&#8217;t go to church for the rest of the year.

It is not appropriate to hold any protests in London this weekend.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Palestine Solidarity Campaign has pledged to avoid the Whitehall area where the Cenotaph is located.<\/p>\n<p>Scotland Yard has said it would use &#8220;all powers and tactics&#8221; at its disposal to prevent disruption, including Section 13 of the Public Order Act 1986, which allows the banning of a procession when there is a risk of serious disorder.<\/p>\n<p>The force must prove the threshold for a Section 13 order has been met before seeking approval from the Home Secretary to sign off on a ban.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/politics\/1832243\/nigel-farage-humza-yousaf-palestine-protest-remembrance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigel Farage Slams Humza Yousaf For Backing Remembrance Protest Nigel Farage accused Humza Yousaf of an &#8220;appalling level of disrespect&#8221; after he backed pro-Palestine protests planned for Armistice Day.
