I think there is the same war in the UK as in the US, between the usual lefty idiots who happen to have the mike, and the sane people.
The Home Secretary, the Foreign office and the Archbishop - especially the Archbishop - have come out of this looking like idiots. (No doubt if Prince Charles had been asked for a quote he would have said something squishy and shameful as well).
But the public excoriation of Williams has frankly been heartening.
I completely agree. The fact that these stories have been so controversial in the UK is good news. People are keeping a very close eye on the situation. To be fair to Prince Charles, even he has apparently distanced himself from the Archbishop’s comments!
