The ‘wearing of the Cross’ received significant media coverage over the Easter weekend and was the subject of various editorials:
- Under the heading ‘Christians deserve a break from tormentors’, The Sunday Times wrote that ‘Christians also deserve a better deal when it comes to displaying symbols of their faith.’
- The Sunday Telegraph commented that ‘the bemusement of Christians was understandable when David Cameron, at his Easter reception for churchmen in Downing Street, welcomed a Christian ‘fightback’, while his own Government is pursuing a case at the European Court to enforce the ban on the cross at work.’
- The Daily Mail suggested that if David Cameron ‘really means what he says, he should force the Lib Dem [Lynne Featherstone] to withdraw her submission to Strasbourg’s cardboard court.’
