Tommy Robinson's Carol Concert Sparks Church of England Backlash

Tommy Robinson's Carol Concert Sparks Church of England Backlash

Tommy Robinson, a former football hooligan who is now a born-again Christian, held a carol concert to 'put the Christ back into Christmas'.

Around 1,000 people attended the event.

However, the Church of England, including several bishops, expressed concern about the event.

They felt that using Christmas as a part of a culture war was offensive.

Some people at the concert were seen wearing unusual outfits and carrying signs.

The Church of England believes that Christmas belongs to everyone and that Robinson's message of fear is not in line with Christian teachings.

A vicar named Giles Fraser said that the point of coming to church is to be with people who may have different views, and that Robinson's message is not welcome in that context.
