The arrival of the gangster turned evangelist Nicky Cruz has been quite a big story in Hackney recently (see for example page 3 of the current Hackney Gazette, plus the letters pagge and editorial)

Cruz's organisation was brought to the borough by an evangelical police officer, Supt Leroy Logan. Unfortunately Cruz, and the TRUCE, hold views on gay people that, if shouted in the street would get you arrested and prosecuted.

A proposed gig at the council owned Hackney Ocean on 27 and 28 July was (according to the Gazette website) cancelled due to the local furore, with people asking is this the sort of nonsense council taxpayers money should be spent on.

Now it is being suggest that these reports were "premature" and after police intervention, the gig may well be back on:

Has anyone else heard any more on this?
