Yeah he's really triggered the right wing twitterati as well.

 

[ThePrisoner]

It's wokeness gone mad I tells ya!

 

[Druss_The_Legend]

I noticed that, and it was only a few minutes after Liz Truss did her speech as well.

[Stocko]

To who or what was he referring to then

He didn’t elaborate.

He didn’t elaborate.

Maybe it was a little dig at the monarchy

Maybe it was a little dig at the monarchy

It wasn’t, speaking about the Queen he said:

The archbishop recalled the Queen’s promise on her 21st birthday to dedicate her life to service. “Rarely has such a promise been so well kept. Few leaders receive the outpouring of love we have seen.”

“People of loving service are rare in any walk of life. Leaders of loving service are still rarer. But in all cases those who serve will be loved and remembered when those who cling to power and privileges are long forgotten.”

Putin. After serving 2 consecutive terms , the max, he put his puppet Medvedev in place for 1 term so he could take over again. After his second 2 consecutive terms he changed the constitution 2020 in a rigged vote so he could stay in another two consecutive terms. If that's not clinging then don't know what is.

 

[ThePrisoner]

It was his way of saying 'Wilder out'.

In front of the king at his mothers funeral??

Also, the Tories far right element (starting with the brexit referendum ) which dominates the party now also cling to power through lies, otherwise known as smoke and mirrors, fake news, spin, reframing the narrative etc etc etc
Like brexit, clearly a terrible decision for Britain’s future and yet the Tories now frame it as ‘we haven’t yet seized all the brexit opportunities’. REALLY.
Interpretation is; that’ll keep the plebs at bay and confused for a few years whilst we try and claim some benefits of brexit……like big bonuses for bankers
Sorted.
As I say, Tory lies lies lies ruining democracy because people are tarring other politicians with the same ‘Tory lie brush’ which helps Tories in the short term but long term it means our democratic societal principles crumble.
Tories don’t care about that and just want to cling to power.

Shots fired.

If it wasn't a dig at Johnson ( and I think it almost certainly was) Boris fanboys on SM certainly think so and have gone full red meat rage on the Archbishop I see.
