Killer May a ‘hypocrite’ for laying wreath to war dead
by Felicity Collier

PEACE campaigners have criticised Theresa May for planning to lay a wreath tomorrow in memory of Britain’s war dead while her government’s policies continue to fuel armed conflict.

The Peace Pledge Union (PPU) warned that while Remembrance Sunday is being marked in this country, Saudi forces using British-made weapons and trained and advised by British troops could be killing children in Yemen.

The group will hold an alternative remembrance ceremony close to Whitehall, where a wreath of white poppies will be laid to remember all victims of war — including civilians — of every nationality.
