“It is not enough to live side by side, we must live together united by shared values, and a shared commitment to this country,” the PM says.
He is now turning his attention to directly address people who have been protesting in recent weeks, asking them to not allow the extremists to “hijack” their demonstrations. “We must live together with those who protest – don’t let the extremists hijack your marches.
“Protest decently,” he says, and “with empathy for your fellow citizens”.
“Let us prove these extremists wrong, and show that even when we disagree we will never be disunited from our common values of decency and respect.”
“I love this country,” the prime minister says, before asking the country to “stand together” and “combat the forces of division”.
