The church isn’t ‘far-right’ but might offer some truths to Robinson supporters |
By William Mata
Gareth, a 36-year-old supporter of far-right causes, was quoted this week as saying he is going to start going to church.
His new membership of a congregation is not, however, motivated by a Christian faith, or a desire to learn answers to the biggest questions.
"It's not that I've found God…” he told the BBC. “I'm feeling like Christianity could be replaced, so that's why I feel the church needs support.”
Gareth was not invited via a flyer for a carol service, nor at the will of a friend.
Instead, he says he got the idea to go to church after attending a march supporting Tommy Robinson (the far right figurehead also known as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon).
I would love to know what happened........
