A misplaced moral outrage

Sir, – Regarding the coverage on the Presidents Club dinner and the Prime Minister’s reaction, it is interesting to compare it with another, somewhat under-reported event last week.

On Monday January 22, the Archbishop of Canterbury made a shocking confession in a Church of England press release, stating that his Church had covered up, ignored or denied child sex abuse by its clergy for the last 70 years.

It is a sad indictment of our times therefore that last week’s dose of moral outrage and indignation has been reserved for adult males for one night at a black tie dinner in London rather than adult males in the pulpits of the established Church for the last seven decades.

One wonders what the Queen, who is head of the Church and Defender of the Protestant Faith, thinks about it all?

The Prime Minister, herself a practising Anglican and vicar’s daughter, has also, at the time of writing, been silent on the matter.
