The Archbishop of Canterbury is the latest senior public official to refuse to resign following a disgraceful scandal on his own watch. He joins a shameful list of others who did the same.
He has resigned now, but only belatedly. And what about all the other bishops, advisers, safeguarding experts who did nothing? Otherwise it is a feature of public life that no one is really accountable for anything. We can add to the list the RAF discrimination case, HS2, Ajax, aircract carriers, infected blood, Tavistock, various other NHS trusts, PPE procurement - no wonder the country is broke, the finances follow the morals!
Update - Tuesday 12th November - he resigned around 1330 GMT
Honesty and integrity are the threads by which a civilised soceity hangs.
We are close to breaking point and landing in a bruised heap.
Keep talking , vital to hear and speak the truth.
