express.co.uk:

Express.co.uk at the launch event of the Bad Law project, he explained how he couldn’t “stand the injustice” present in courts of law and in the cultural sphere.Laurence said, when asked about cancel culture in relation to the cancellation of political commentator and priest Calvin Robinson, that he couldn’t “stand the injustice”.He said: “I can’t stand the injustice.

I don’t like it when people are cancelled.“I think the way that Calvin was treated is fundamentally racist. I do.“I really care about this stuff.

I cared enough to lose my job.”It comes after Laurence and the Bad Law project launched a petition urging the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and Bishop of London Sarah Mullaly to resign.The Archbishop issued a public statement declaring the Church of England to be “institutionally racist” in 2020, and the Bishop reportedly told Calvin Robinson, a black trainee vicar, that the Church was "institutionally racist".Laurence, in his petition, suggested they should both resign and make way for Black, Asian and ethnic minorities (BAME) clergy people.The Bad Law project seeks to extend this seeking out of injustice, and helping those who feel they have been treated unfairly in courts of law and beyond.It was launched after co-launcher Harry Miller was visited by police in his home in January 2020 for alleged “transphobic tweets”.In the opening launch address for the project, Laurence said: “What happened to Harry and what has happened to me and many others, is going to happen to you one day.“So the reason this Bad Law project exists is for us to challenge, to question, to have the law clarified, to challenge it if we believe it to be wrong or others believe it to be wrong.”Fair Cop rep and member of the project.
