‘When any white man in the world says give me liberty or give me death, the entire white world applauds. When a black man says exactly the same thing, word for word, he is judged a criminal and treated like one and everything possible is done to make an example of him'.

My statement on the disrespectful protests planned for Armistice Day.
ALT To plan protests on Armistice Day is provocative and disrespectful, and there is a clear and present risk that the Cenotaph and other war memorials could be desecrated, something that would be an affront to the British public and the values we stand for. The right to remember, in peace and dignity, those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for those freedoms must be protected. I have asked the Home Secretary to support the Met Police in doing everything necessary to protect the sanctity of Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.

We stand in solidarity with sociologist, dissident and Pluto author Boris Kagarlitsky, who was detained by Russia’s Federal Security Service earlier this week.
His arrest is an assault on free speech and anti-war protest, and we call for his immediate release.
