The new Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, is characterised by Adam Trimingham (January 2) as "wild and woolly" and "inclined to burble for Britain".
The Sage of Sussex is a sharp and provocative commentator and long may he remain so. But he does sometimes go off the rails - even off his trolley.
Dr Williams is carving out a role as the goading conscience of a nation at the mercy of lickspittle politicians.
New Labourites and Old Tories, as he points out, surrender to the potentates of finance and commerce and are ready now to follow in the steps of King Herod with a new massacre of innocents in the Middle East.
This is not a voice "burbling for Britain" but a breath of fresh air blowing across a stricken land.
