This is bizarre. Maybe it’s a British thing, but I don’t see what he was supposed to do. What is St Paul’s being criticized for? Not throwing open the door and letting the thugs in to defecate all over the place?

They’re typical Church of England wusses, evidently. They let themselves be persuaded that it’s not OK to call in the police to keep law and order.

News for them. It’s OK to turn the other cheek if someone attacks you personally, but it’s not OK when they attack your Church or your society.

I don’t know if this is the Archbishop of Canterbury’s influence at work. The guy is a Muzzie-loving creep.

I read this as:

“Let those in the church hierarchy who criticize - or who refuse to defend - step up and handle things their own way ... and good luck with that”
