The Archbishop
of Canterbury, leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion, has rebuked
Boris Johnson, warning the British Prime Minister that the use of
“inflammatory” language risks pouring “petrol” on Britain’s divisions
over Brexit.
Justin Welby said
Britain had become consumed by “an abusive and binary approach to
political decisions” in which Brexit rivals treated their opponents as
“my total enemy”.
The archbishop warned
that social media meant it had become “extraordinarily dangerous to use
careless comments” in a society that was “polarised and volatile”. He
was “shocked” by Mr Johnson’s recent dismissal of warnings about extreme
language encouraging death threats against politicians as “humbug”.
