Bishop of London launches probe into woke warrior clergyman who called Clap for Capt Tom a 'white British nationalist cult' as thousands sign petition to remove him and it emerges he called PM an 'oppressor' and blasted 'ignorant' white Christian men
The Reverend Jarel Robinson-Brown has deleted his offensive tweet dismissing the work of the hero 100-year-old Covid fund-raiser, whose efforts were praised by all political leaders and the Archbishop of Canterbury after he died this week. He responded to the veteran's death by writing: 'The cult of Captain Tom is a cult of White British Nationalism. I will offer prayers for the repose of his kind and generous soul, but I will not be joining the "National Clap".' The Diocese of London has called his message 'unacceptable, insensitive, and ill-judged' and revealed a review of his posts is 'now underway, led by the Archdeacon of London'. A petition demanding he is sacked by the CofE has already been signed by 3,000 people amid growing pressure on the Bishop of London to remove him from the prestigious curate role at the oldest church in the City of London, All Hallows By the Tower. And as the Diocese of London launched a probe into his social media activity, MailOnline can reveal Rev Robinson-Brown's Twitter feed is packed with political tweets slamming Boris Johnson and his Government. He has repeatedly accused the Prime Minister of 'talking nonsense', branded Mr Johnson and Home Secretary Priti Patel 'oppressors' during lockdown and replying to one tweet asking for a 'sad story in three words' he replied: 'Boris wins majority'. In a message criticising Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng for defending the British Empire, the cleric called him 'Kwasia' - Ghanaian for dumb - and accused him of 'speaking colomental claptrap' in an article about Brexit. In another rant Reverend Jarel Robinson-Brown, a prominent black and gay activist, blasted 'ignorant White Christian men' as he debated LGBTQ+ rights in the CofE.
