The story split readers, with online user Kim A Gottlieb, the former city councillor, commenting: "He's the best street entertainer in the city. Never mind the Square, he should play the Albert Hall."

User Ruffleo showed empathy towards the cleric: "The priest asking or 'telling' him to move on isn't about the faith. The busker is blocking a driveway, people live there and nobody knows why he asked him to move, he may have been pastoring a parishioner, a grieving family member or been up all night attending last rites.

"Or he may be fed up with the noise. It's his right too to ask someone to move away from his property."
