A far-right nationalist group led by serial pest Nick Folkes has stormed the noted pro-refugee Gosford Anglican Church dressed as Muslims and chanting anti-Islamic slogans, in what one can only assume was some kind of protest with a point they were attempting to make.
The Party for Freedom, which is based in Sydney and openly aligns itself with newly-elected senator Pauline Hanson, entered the church around 9:30am during the morning service, disrupting Father Rod Bowers sermon with a loudspeaker.
“Using a loud speaker starting to abuse me in particular for the work we do … they violated our sacred space,” Father Bower told the Sydney Morning Herald.
“It was typical rhetoric from the extreme right, vilifying Muslims and multiculturalism as a whole.”
Folkes is a known agitator in nationalist politics, probably best known recently for his moronic attempt to ‘commemorate’ the Cronulla riots on its 10th anniversary in 2015. That resulted in what can only described as the saddest BBQ in living memory.
Bowers issued a video statement on the event:
Jog on, guys.
