Title: Institutional Racism. Let's help stamp it out.
Post by: klondike on May 25, 2022, 10:22:23 AM
Laurence Fox has started an up yours petition on Change.org in response to the defenestration of black trainee priest Calvin Robinson from the Church of England's for refusing to accept the Church is 'institutionally racist'. The petition asks Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and Sarah Mullally, the Bishop of London – both of whom have apologised for the Church's 'history of racism' – to step aside and make way for BAME alternatives.

I'm am 100% sure that Lawrence Fox started it to take the mickey. I thought it was funny.

He is the actor who was deplatformed by Equity for upsetting woke sensibilities sometime during the Brexit debate.

Yes, it's no more than an amusing piss-take.
