Even the church recognises how Labour has ruined the country by creating the house price bubble
ITN News: Bishops slam 'morally corrupt' Government
Five senior figures from the Church of England warned that the country was suffering from an addiction to debt and a growing gap between rich and poor. Dr Rowan Williams said Gordon Brown's plans to spend more in order to tackle the recession were like an "addict returning to the drug".
The Rt Rev Nigel McCulloch criticised Labour for encouraging people to get further into debt. "The Government has acted scandalously. This is not just an economic issue, but a moral one"

Lets face it, the Church are right on this one. We're swapping private over indulgence in debt with public overindulgence

Good to see religious leaders voicing their opinion on this matter. It is necessary that they openly declare government actions as wrong when they clearly are. Morality has been lost in the quest for selfish gain,but this goes back to the Thatcher years in truth. The imbalance of wealth has always been there,only now it is so accentuated as to be a danger to the traditional holders of wealth. Such as,believe it or not,the Church.However these bodies are traditionally seen to be 'good'. This new wealth is not. It is anti-social.
What has been happening over these last few decades is not good and is crumbling because it simply does not have a good structure. There is a real danger of dragging the ignored and forgotten morals down that religious bodies expound and a real evil has been created which needs to be destroyed and quickly,before irreversible damage is inflicted.
