Labour's policies on human rights have become a threat to freedom, the Archbishop of York said yesterday.

Dr John Sentamu suggested that the Government was ' sacrificing liberty in favour of an abused form of equality'.

The Archbishop said human rights did not work without a moral foundation, yet morality had been replaced by consumer desires.

He also warned against the growth of 'diktat and bureaucracy' which he said interfered with personal beliefs.

I don't agree with the Bishop that morality has been replaced by consumerism. Morality has been replaced by a combination of diversity, healthy eating and global warming panic. Otherwise he is spot on.

What is it with the white, socialist christian world that requires and frantically demands the rest of mankind to buy into their anorexic world view of Peak Oil and Global Warming? This bishop hasn’t been bitten by the white-man’s disease of global liberal nuttiness as yet..
