Did anybody see the protesters in London today? Loads of them all hiding their faces behind masks. Protesting about a few migrants who were being taken to Bibby Stokholm. So that didn’t go ahead as planned.

They caused massive disruption and several police officers were injured. 42 people arrested. They should keep their noses out.

These people are complete loony lefty idiots. Remember when people on a plane stopped a man from being deported after kicking up a fuss about something they knew nothing about. He was involved in gang rape of a 16 year old girl!!!

I think the demonstrations included the elements mentioned above, but its not quite so straightforward:

Compassion for the most vulnerable’: bishop thanks protesters who blocked asylum coaches

Bishop of Dover praised people who stopped removal of men from Margate to Bibby Stockholm barge

The Church should butt out.

I had assumed they were commenting not organising?

They shouldn’t comment on political matters. It’s a great shame that bishops automatically have a seat in the HoL. I respect Welby for having had a career outside the Church and for knowing the loss of a child, but I believe Church and politics should be separate from one another.
