Richard Tice tried to mansplain Christianity to the Archbishop of Canterbury, and these 18 takedowns were a testament to people’s irritation with him

The new Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally has just made an emotional visit to Ghana and Cameroon, at the invitation of the Anglican Church in Africa. While there, she visited Cape Coast Castle, which had been used to imprison enslaved people by the British in the seventeenth century.

Today I visited Cape Coast Castle. Seeing the horrific conditions that thousands of people were kept in, it is impossible not to feel the weight of the immense evil that drove the transatlantic slave trade.

Her comments, and her pledge to support the Church’s pledge to provide £100 million to a fund to support communities affected by historic slavery, riled a certain demographic, including Reform UK’s Richard Tice.

Did you thank Jesus for giving great courage and vision to the British for abolishing the slave trade, spending vast amounts of money and sacrificing brave Royal Naval sailors in the process?

As a Christian, you don’t speak for me, nor millions of other Christians in the UK… https://t.co/21mO5eW5jf

People weren’t convinced by Tice’s claim to Christianity – or impressed by him trying to mansplain its tenets to Archbishop Mullally.

Why are you debating this? Shes just saying that the transatlantic slave trade was repugnant? Why are you defending the British, who while being one of the first nations to have banned the slave trade, were the largest beneficiaries and proponents of the slave trade? Disgusting. https://t.co/85rUyNaSHO
