Nigel Farage has said a pro-Palestine march, due to take place on Armistice Day just before Remembrance Sunday should be stopped by police.<\/p>\n

Mr Farage\u2019s comments come after an activist group called for a million people to march in London to protest against the Israel-Hamas war.<\/p>\n

He said the UK should follow the example of German police and crack down on protesters.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the GB News presenter wrote: \u201cI find it pretty extraordinary that there is a big pro-Palestine March, in fact, demands from some for a million-strong march, to come through the centre of London on the November 11.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve said before, to great criticism, that I’ve worried in the past about a lot of people coming into Britain with whom we have no shared history and no shared culture, and this, I think, is a very good example of that.<\/p>\n

\u201cShould this march go ahead? And especially should it be allowed to go down Whitehall, past the Cenotaph? I think the answer just has to be \u2018no\u2019 – I think this march has to be blocked.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Farage tried to justify his remarks by saying there were other marches in cities away from London, but that the one in the capital should be stopped.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt’s not as if there’s a shortage of pro-Palestine marches. They’re taking place all the time and not just in London, but in many other cities as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I think this March should be blocked. \u201cMayor [Sadiq] Khan has said precious little about it. It\u2019s interesting to see that in Germany, they really are taking a very different approach.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was astonished to see the vice chancellor, Robert Habeck, who is a Green, saying that what was happening on the streets of Berlin was unacceptable and that there would be tough consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFour thousand people so far have been arrested on the streets of Germany. I think for historical, for cultural, for national reasons, we should not allow a march past the Cenotaph on Armistice Day, and I feel actually very, very strongly about that.\u201d<\/p>\n
