A FAR-right protester in London has been seen urinating on the memorial erected to PC Keith Palmer, who died fighting an armed terrorist in March 2017.

The photograph reveals the hypocrisy of the far-right protesters who claimed to be in the city centre to defend such memorials from attacks from Black Lives Matter protests.
PC Palmer was posthumously awarded the George Cross for preventing the knife-wielding attacker from entering the Palace of Westminster.
For his actions Palmer was given the honour of being put to rest in the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft in the Palace of Westminster, along with former prime minister Margaret Thatcher and Labour icon Tony Benn.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
