That is a theological divide, kawaii. You are mixing apples and oranges.
There is no primacy that gives the right to arbitrarily interfere into the sees of orther Patriarchates
The uncanonical acts of the Ecumenical Patriarch in the past, interfereing and, indeed, even absorbing jurisdictions of other Patriarchates (i.e. Finland), does not give Moscow the "right" to compete with or overtake the primacy in the Orthodox Church communion.
One wrong does not justify another.

I'm hardly arguing as much. Even at the height of the "Third Rome" mentality the Russian church argued it was THIRD among equals (a definition which is fast becoming an Animal Farm like focus on rank above equal).
The Moscow church is looking for Orthodoxy to back up it's canonical stances in situations with heterodox practices, and out of a love for power the EP is ignoring that.
In the UK the EP should have asked for the move of said bishop. They didn't and wouldn't respond when asked to do so. That is deliberate flouting of canon.
