\\A cleric's comments branding those taking part in the clap for Captain Sir Tom Moore "a cult of white British nationalism",//

So, is taking the Knee for BLM black nationalism...?

Glad he immediately removed it. What an idiot.

[jno]

what Black nation would that be?

[Mamyalynne]

Reverend Jarel Robinson-Brown was well out of order, glad he apologised.

[New Judge]

The man is a pillock. He only removed his "Tweet" because some Bishop or other told him to, otherwise it would still be there. I can only suggest if he detests "White British Nationalism" so much he finds alternative accommodation because, like it or not, this is Britain, most of the population is white and many people are Nationalists. In short, there's a lot of it about.

[jno]

then it's hardly insulting or even wrong, is it?

[webbo3]

Jno
\\what Black nation would that be?//

What white nation is he talking about?

[Sqad]

What is the point of an apology, he clearly means what he wrote and I agree with NJ, his apology was hollow.
Apologies on the whole are superficial placating to the masses and not worth the paper that they are written on.

So why did he hurriedly take the Tweet down then,jno?

[New Judge]

//then it's hardly insulting or even wrong, is it?//

Yes it is because it was clearly presented as a a derogatory term.

White British people cannot help being white or British. To say that Captain Tom is representative of a cult and that cult comprises people who are what they are is insulting.

Church of England is full of fruitcakes. There was bound to be a black one in there.

[Mamyalynne]

His apology may well be hollow, however he's done his credibility no favours as far as the future is concerned.

[JimF]

Spoken like a right Christian!

//Church of England is full of fruitcakes.\\

You're telling me! After 70 years of loyal service I have decided to decamp to Rome. Don't really want to but I am left with no alternative.

[Mamyalynne]

Jim, No - spoken like himself.

He doesn't speak for all.

[tiggerblue10]

Thoughtless. So many people engage tweets before brains these days.

[Mamyalynne]

Now we descend into an almost expected downward spiral.

"In a statement shared on Twitter the Diocese of London said the Reverend was now receiving “racist abuse” as a result of his comments"


Everyone trying to out-insult each other - sound familiar?

[ynnafymmi]

What did he expect,Mamy.Reverse racism isnt any worse than ordinary racism.

[ichkeria]

Just been listening to Marjorie Taylor Greene whining on the Floor.
It’s plainly a day for hollow apologies

[pixie374]

NJ, are you honestly feeling insulted by the words of one person? He made a mistake, it got removed. That's it.

[ynnafymmi]

"or better,even".
