HOLY ELITES, ARCHBISHOP!

so PreCiseLy who are the ‘metropolitan elites’ whom the Archbishop of york, stephen Cottrell, took time to lambast over the weekend?

Calling for ‘an expansive vision of what it means to be english as part of the UK’, the cleric argued in a newspaper article that many english people feel left behind by the ‘metropolitan elites in London and the south east’.

Fine words, i’m sure, but i can’t help but think you’d be hardpressed ‘Over 55,000 pregnant people in england & Scotland have had the #coronavirus vaccine,’ reads a bizarre tweet from the Scottish Government — run, needless to say, by the uber-woke SNP. ‘Pregnant people’? As the eversensible government adviser Nimco Ali asks: ‘Why is the word “women” so offensive to so many these days?’ to find anyone more ‘elite’ than Cottrell himself. According to Debrett’s Correct Form (the bible on such matters), the only non-royal members of the english establishment who rank higher than the Archbishop of york are the Archbishop of Canterbury (who is on sabbatical) and the Lord Chancellor.

should robert Buckland, our current Lord Chancellor, be taking Cottrell’s criticisms personally? GB NEWS, the new anti-woke TV channel, is seeking a chief of staff to steady the ship after a distinctly rocky launch. According to the job spec, the ideal candidate will be a ‘disruptor and an innovator’ with ‘proven experience in a similar role’. Sounds like a tailor-made SOS to Boris Johnson’s former de facto chief of staff, that great ‘misfit and weirdo’ Dominic Cummings.
