Hate-Builder


This is Stephen Green. He used ot be a builder. Now, he works for Christian Voice. Here is their website: http://www.christianvoice.org.uk/

Yes, once consigned to the USA, they are here, fortunately in smaller numbres, but they are here all the same. Being a Christian Fundamentalist, he didn't like the Jerry Springer Opera. Fair enough, he's entitled to that.

However, back in 2005, while the show was on tour, it promised to donate a large sum of money (somewhere in the thousands) to Maggie's Centres for cancer sufferers. The actors had agreed to waive their wages for a night, with all the money goign to the charity.

Enter Green and Christian Voice. Using what can only be described as mob-tactics, they threatened the charity with a protest outside their offices. The charity caved.

Now, I recognise that he has a right to freedom of protest and, while I do not agree with him, I will fight for that right. However, his conduct here is dispicable. The cast of the show were doing a good deed. It was an act of kindness towards sufferers from one of the world's most terrible and widespread diseases. But Mr. Green and Christian Voice didn't think about that, did they? They didn't think about the people that the money would have helped, did they? It is a disgrace.

Mr. Green should stop building hatred and suffering, and get back to building houses.
