'Free Palestine' has been painted across Rochdale’s Cenotaph ahead of Remembrance Sunday and is now being guarded by police support officers. It comes as a planned pro-Palestinian protest on Armistice Day in London on Saturday is to go ahead. Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak met on Wednesday to discuss how the protest will be policed. Mr Sunak said afterwards: “It is because that sacrifice is so immense, that Saturday’s planned protest is not just disrespectful but offends our heartfelt gratitude to the memory of those who gave so much so that we may live in freedom and peace today."On this episode of the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson explores the balance between protecting the right to protest with Carol Turner, vice-chair for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, one of the protest's organising groups, and respecting war commemorations with Philip Ingram, a former colonel in the British Army, now a security analyst. Plus, Danny Shaw, commentator on policing, crime and justice, joins Niall on the legalities of the protest.
