The Archbishop of Canterbury is a decent
and well-intentioned man. Justin Welby is intelligent, too, and knows
about money, having worked in the oil industry before becoming a priest.
Nor
is there any question that lots of people in our society feel left
behind, or in common parlance 'marginalised'. How else can one explain
the astounding success of Jeremy Corbyn despite his obvious weaknesses?
Moreover,
as a man of God, Mr Welby has every right to represent the poor, as
indeed he should. Jesus Christ spent far more time with the dispossessed
than with the rich and powerful.
So
I've no quarrel with the Archbishop for speaking up on behalf of those
who have no voice. But I'm afraid he is very unwise to have associated
himself with a controversial and, I believe, often wrong-headed economic
report.
