Remembrance Day protest updates — Met Police vows to protect poppy sellers ahead of pro-Palestine Armistice march
THE Met Police has vowed to protect poppy sellers during the pro-Palestine march planned for Remberence Day.
Protestors are set to take to the streets of London just hours after Remembrance services take place in London tomorrow and the Met Police have now shared operations details for the day.
Writing today, the Met Office said: “This week concerns have been raised about the safety of poppy sellers at stations and other busy venues.
“Alongside our colleagues at the British Transport Police we have been clear no intimidation of those who so generously give up their time for this treasured national cause will be tolerated. Officers know the risk felt by sellers and should be sought out by anyone concerned throughout the weekend.”
Over 2,000 police officers will take to the streets this weekend to prevent any Remembrance Day services being disrupted as the nation honours those who fought for our freedoms.
