In an outbreak of outrageous common sense, the Archbishop Of Canterbury (no, the new one, not the other beardy one) has come out against payday loan firms.
In particular, his sights have been set on Wonga. You know, the company advertised by what can only be described as annoying pensioner cunt puppets.
Their drivel puppet mirth disguises lending that, whilst legal, and legitimate, is at astounding interest rates.
And who needs these kinds of loans? People whose circumstances mean they can’t borrow from lenders with sensible rates. I.e. mostly the poorest of people. Potentially worsening their plight, if they can’t keep control of their borrowing.
So, we salute you Archbishop. Whilst you can frankly keep the God bit, you are at least standing up, showing moral fibre, and some leadership. You have Christian conkers of steel Sir! Bravo!
However, should you invent a light saber, start wielding it, and wearing cool hooded cloaks, then even I may be persuaded to come onside.
Now, not being over-religious,I’m not sure precisely where that Jesus chap stood on this, what with him having pulled a bit of an uncomfortable scene regarding money lending (moneychangers) and temples. But don’t let that put you off.
The only unfortunate fly in the ointment seems to be that the church may itself have invested in Wonga. But I’m fairly sure the Archbishop will sort that gaping hole out pretty pronto, if this is true. I wouldn’t like to be that particular church investment manager.
So Archbishop, if you’re looking at sticking your head above the parapet more often, there are plenty of other topics seemingly forbidden to talk about, that you could dive into.
Like immigration. Re-nationalising the railways. The list goes on.
In fact, fuck it. I’m voting for you next time round…
