The church should speak out against the widening gap between the rich and the poor.

This I think was at the root of much of the anger displayed on the streets of London on Saturday. and the fact that tax loopholes the rich use, are not being closed.
The church has been speaking out against it for years, Mike - and marching against it.  I think what I find so hypocritical was that there were no comparable marches during the Labour years, despite that fact that, not only did they make no attempt to close the loopholes, they actually created even more with some of the financial legislation they passed.
