Protesters Call on Suella Braverman to Stop ‘Stirring Up Hatred and Fear’

Nov 4, 2023 | Protesters have called on the Home Secretary Suella Braverman to stop “stirring up hatred and fear”.

A group of campaigners gathered outside the Home Office in Westminster on Saturday in opposition to Ms Braverman’s comments on refugees and tents in public spaces.

Weyman Bennett, co-convenor of ‘Stand Up To Racism’ said the Home Secretary should “put some handcuffs on herself and hand herself in to the nearest police station”.

The group of peaceful protesters called for Ms Braverman to “stop the hate” as they heard speeches, sang songs and chanted outside the Home Office in central London.

Speaking at the protest, Mr Bennett told the PA news agency: “We’re here because there’s a racist running the Home Office. Suella Braverman is a bigot and is enabling the far-right to attack our basic democratic rights.
