Pressure group 'Justice For Northern Ireland Veterans' are expected to form up from as early as 8:00am to protest Jeremy Corbyn's presence in the town.
The local organiser for the demonstration Vern Tilbury said "Jeremy corbyn is in Barnstaple, as veterans of Northern Ireland, we are demonstrating against him due to his support for the IRA while British Soldiers were being killed out there, I served in 1978_79 and 1982, so I'm holding this demo to show what a traitor he is to this country"
