Number Six Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Well if Muslim clerics can encourage muslims to become terrorists etc why shouldn't our Church of England leader stick for our needy? At least he's not encouraging people to become suicide bombers. So one can do as one pleases as long as someone else is doing worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Archbishop of Canterbury is a member of the House of Lords, therfore it is his duty and right to voice his opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stvoider Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 The Archbishop of Canterbury is a member of the House of Lords, therfore it is his duty and right to voice his opinion. Yes. But perhaps that opinion should remain in the house of lords and not plastered through the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stvoider Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 He's in The House of Lords - he is part of government. If you want to dismiss his opinions then you have to equally dismiss all the other Lords too. Not true. As of the 1st of April there are 789 members of the house of lords. It is my reckoning that this man gets a disproportional representation in the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Hardie Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 It wasn't so long ago the good archbishop was whining (rightly) about Gordon Brown's penchant for borrowing. Now that we have a leader with the guts to implement policies that will reduce borrowing (that would be paid back by future generations) RW does a U-turn. Does he share a moral compass with GB after all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
