Parliament’s moral authority has slumped to its “lowest ebb in living memory”, former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey has said.
Lord Carey told the News of the World that recent leaked reports about MPs’ expenses had shaken trust in politics.
He said the revelations had exposed the “clawing greed” at the heart of Westminster’s “culture of abuse”.
Well, take heart. Lord Carey’s successor to the Archbishopric fo Canterbury has sunk the moral authority of that position to an equal level with his behavior at the ACC in Jamaica. Peas in a pod, apparently, and certainly in the same “routine” of government.
