Gary Lineker criticises Suella Braverman in row over Armistice Day protest

Gary Lineker has weighed into the controversy over a planned pro-Palestine march on Armistice Day by criticising Home Secretary Suella Braverman.

There are fears the march later this month could disrupt the two-minute silence commemorating the war dead and the daytime and evening Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall, with the latter performance usually attended by royals.The Prime Minister has said holding the protest on Saturday November 11 would be “provocative and disrespectful”, while the Home Secretary dubbed it a "hate march" prompting Lineker to tweet: "Marching and calling for a ceasefire and peace so that more innocent children don’t get killed is not really the definition of a hate march."
