They shouldn’t have apologised.
The BBC has apologised for Radio 4 broadcasting a critique of Robert Jenrick MP saying "I certainly don't want my daughters to live in a neighbourhood with men from a backward country" which said "these words echo a fear many people have - fear of a stranger .. the technical word is xenophobia"

Why? It WAS xenophobic

It may not be a surprise to learn that Tom Linden KC (as he then was) was briefed by the C of E to defend the removal of Jeremy Pemberton’s licence.
Linden J has, quite remarkably, held that police participation in the 2024 Pride marches was unlawful for breaching neutrality obligations: www.11kbw.com/knowledge-ev...
Two quick thoughts follow, after a brief skim of the judgment.

This is an utterly harrowing programme. Jay’s courage is astonishing. The behaviour of the Bishop of Leicester in any coherent organisation would have him sacked.
As you can imagine it's been a difficult few years for me. I won't be online a lot over the next few days (obviously) but if you're a praying person please do keep everyone affected by this in your prayers. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Prayers for Jay, who has been through so much.
He is also a fantastic poet, and if you don't own a book of his poetry yet, you really should fix that.

I think sometimes we in the Church of England can think we're doing better than the Catholics at safeguarding etc. We're not. We need to get our own house in order on this.

Jay has been a real voice of fresh air for the church, at least since I’ve been aware of him on social media. An awful story here, which no-one should ever have to go through.
This is an awful & to me genuinely shocking, story. It’s not that Jay was let down by the safeguarding *system*, tho of course that’s never acceptable, it’s the personal role played in the failure by the Bishop of Leicester, which raises serious questions of judgement

Fr Justin is in Seville researching ways to license the new Priest. These all seem good. Hopefully the Diocese will agree.
