"Robinson, who is affiliated with the U.K. branch of Charlie Kirk’s political organization Turning Point, has been supported in previous efforts by far-right figures like Steve Bannon and Elon Musk.

The Church of England responded to Robinson’s planned rally with a poster campaign featuring an immigrant holy family in a bus stop and phrases like 'Christ has always been in Christmas,' 'Christmas started with love,' and 'Outsiders welcome.'”

"The Church of England is to launch a poster campaign aimed at challenging the anti-migrant message of Tommy Robinson, whose 'Unite the Kingdom' movement has urged its supporters to join a carols event next weekend to 'put the Christ back into Christmas'.

The posters, which will go on display at bus stops, say 'Christ has always been in Christmas' and 'Outsiders welcome'."
