Martin Daubney RAGES at planned pro-Palestine demonstrations on Remembrance Sunday: 'This is sacred to British veterans!'

In a statement to GB News, Liverpool Friends of Palestine confirmed a march will go ahead, declaring: "Never again should mean never again. Our call for a ceasefire is precisely what should be heard on Remembrance Sunday".

Expressing his fury on GB News, host Martin Daubney said that "every weekend is a pro-Palestine protest in Britain now" and urged the protesters to voice their message "on a different day".

Defending the plans, Quaker Oliver Robertson argued that "nobody should be disturbing any act of remembrance", but the events of Remembrance Sunday are "not the only thing that can or should happen on that day".

Robertson told GB News: "I think that it's wrong to disrupt it, however, I don't think that's the only thing that can or should happen on that day.

"Like many Quakers, we believe that all life is sacred. Any life lost in war is awful an a tragedy. And therefore if people are going to be thinking about the current wars as well as the past ones, remembering the dead who are dying now as well as the ones who died 80 years ago or more, it is an acceptable thing to do."

In complete disagreement with Robertson, Martin stressed that "every weekend is a Palestine protest", whereas Remembrance Sunday is one event that happens annually, to honour Britain's war veterans.

Martin explained: "Every weekend is a pro-Palestine protest in Britain now, across most of the major conurbations. This is a weekly occurrence.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:

• Decapitated pensioner named after horror Edinburgh bus fall
• Rioter who used England flag as a mask jailed after stopping drivers to 'check if they were white'
• Local 'banned' from allotment he spent 30 years tending for after his mum 'swore in car park'

"Remembrance Sunday existed way before any pro-Palestine protests in the United Kingdom. Don't you think it would be fair just to take a day off and not conflate the two? This is sacred ground to British Armed Services veterans, and the two have no place together."

Robertson responded: "There are lots of awful things that happen in war, and different poppies are there to remember different things. I don't think the fact that there's a Palestinian poppy or any other poppy degrades the red poppy or what it stands for.

"I think Remembrance of the humanity of everyone, all people whether Palestinian or British, soldier or civilian, it's important to remember that."

Agreeing with Robertson that 12,000 Palestinians did serve in the British Army and 3,000 British soldiers have died in Gaza, Martin reaffirmed his argument that demonstrating about the current conflict in Gaza should "happen on a different day".

Martin stated: "How do you think it would go down if a bunch of Armed Forces veterans turned up on Eid and said, let's make this about the British Armed Forces? It would go down terribly.

"Have your own commemoration on a different day in a different way. If you want to talk about the current conflict in Gaza or indeed any historical conflict on Gaza, fine. But do it on a different day."

West Midlands Police and Avon & Somerset Police told GB News that "no event has been confirmed" for this week, "to their knowledge", and are "contacting organisers for more information".

Police in Ireland say they "respect the right for citizens to exercise their constitutional rights and have no role to permit or authorise gatherings".

GB News also contacted Merseyside Police but received no reply.
