Tory MP says church is making Conservatives feel ‘unwelcome’ following Rwanda comments

"Have you actually read the Bible? Jesus, an anti-racist activist shaman, who you would call 'woke', said some very important things that are incompatible with the Tory Party and its racist, money obsessed hard-right narratives."

A Tory MP who was once accused of bullying a young staffer has now blamed the Church of England for bullying Tories.

Last week, the church publically showed its dissatisfaction with the plan to send migrants on a one-way ticket to Rwanda.

In an unprecedented move, senior bishops, including the archbishops of Canterbury and York, jointly hit out at the government for lacking morality.

“Whether or not the first deportation flight leaves Britain today for Rwanda, this policy should shame us as a nation”, the letter read.

Telford MP Lucy Allan took umbrage with the comments, tweeting:

“When the Church takes a strong political stance, it forgets that many of its congregation, who do not share its view, will feel alienated and unwelcome. Is a Conservative welcome @JustinWelby in the Church of England?”

Needless to say, there were very few thoughts and prayers for Lucy:

I mean if the church is trying to teach “be kind to your neighbour” and your thoughts are “make victims of torture and wat fuck off to Rwanda” then maybe you should feel a tad alienated

When the Tory party takes a strong political stance, it forgets that many of the population it governs, who do not share its view, will feel alienated and unwelcome. Is there room for humanity and decency in Tory Britain?

I'm sure the archbishop is more than aware that the Anglican communion is full of virtue-signalling, pagentry loving little Englander racists who don't have the remotest interest in continuing Jesus's mission of helping the most vulnerable.

1. Not all people with conservative political views support the current government’s stance on refugees & it’s disingenuous to pretend they do;

2. You know who definitely wouldn’t be okay with it? Jesus. https://t.co/jtM17SnFRm

I feel like you seeing a religious leader saying 'we shouldn't be needlessly cruel to our most vulnerable fellow humans' as a personal attack against your morality is more of a You Problem, babe x

We’re making a moral point based on our belief that every person is made in God’s image, and the calling from Christ to love our neighbour.

For that same reason, yes absolutely – everyone is welcome in the Church of England 🙏🏼 https://t.co/oSXplogc9U

The state of this.

Stop whinging because the moral authority of your self-professed faith has decreed your Govt’s #RwandaDeportation policy, immoral.

There’s a simple solution: Oppose it or stand damned by your own, moral metric. https://t.co/u7VNfbllsN

Since you are here

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
