MY report on Saturday's Carol Service:
‘Which protest are you?’ said the policeman I approached, ‘there are three.’
‘Are there?’ I asked. ‘We want to get to the Putting Christ back in Christmas Carol Service.’
‘Ah, that protest,’ he replied.
‘No,’ I persisted. ‘No, it is not a protest, it’s a service.’
‘Well, that’s what we’ve been told – it’s a protest,’ he declared emphatically.
I replied politely: ‘I understand you’ve been told that but I am telling you they are wrong, and it is important you should know it isn’t.’
I ventured into the crowd and grabbed some short interviews with people who dared put their heads above the parapet to find out why they had come. (That some were too fearful of repercussions is a shocking sign of our times.)
