The Archbishop of Canterbury is a bastard

Is it a sin to find this rather funny?

Comes to something when your own mother doesn't know who your father is

Imagine finding out your Father is God...

disgusting behaviour

The BBC did its best to tip toe around that story bless em.
He came out with something remarkably like making a silk purse out a sows ear.

Where was Jeremy Kyle when you needed him?

Blame the man, then the drink but never the woman....

Lady Williams reported to be "shocked"

We have just learned about Cameron, and now the Archbishop

The sins of the father.

good job this didn't come out until he'd reach the top of his career ladder

You just have to trust horses, not people.

'In March 2013, Welby stated that "My understanding of sexual ethics has been that, regardless of whether it's gay or straight, sex outside marriage is wrong."[70][71] He reiterated this belief again later in 2013, further noting that "To abandon the ideal simply because it’s difficult to achieve is ridiculous.”[72]'

Luckily for Justin, his mother had a different view.

sounds like his mum was banging this other guy during the wedding to his dad

They say the upper classes behave like dogs in the street with regard to infidelity.

They day before she got married for Christ's sake.

?"the Archbishop had to break the news to Lady Williams. "Mum you know that man you were ****g 9 months before I was born...?"

Then they come out lecturing the plebs on morals.

Savages. Chasing after animals with dogs then smearing each other with the blood - tells you all you need to know.

Really struggling to see how the Archbishop himself is at fault here. Nor how the news contradicts his statement condemning sex outside marriage. Reinforces it, if anything.

you must remember it it was month of your wedding

married on April 4, gave birth in Jan 6.

39 weeks and 4 days, pregnancy is 40 weeks

Apparently the father cleared off straight after he'd sowed his seed.

It must have been like in that film The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover.

Set in a restaurant where the woman kept sneaking off from her husband to the toilet to knock a round off with the lover.

my mother always referred to the 'nobs' in society as 'Lord and lady muck'

op needs to get a job the sun,headline writer

What a scoundrel this Archbishop is. Not because of what happened in the past, that is a family matter. But because he goes blabbing to the press and the world without a thought for his poor mother, or his own wife or children
Why can`t he shut up, it is all about himself the selfish unchristian dishonest fool. He is not concerned about other peoples feelings, what a complete sh1te.

yes he mitre been wiser to have kept it quiet

Like the vast majority of religious people, his blind faith has addled his brain.

That's All I Wanted
Something special, something sacred -
In your eyes
For just one moment
To be bold and naked
At your side

Sometimes i think that you'll never
Understand me
Maybe this time is forever..
Say it can be

That's all you wanted
Something special, someone sacred -
In your life
Just for one moment
To be warm and naked
At my side

Sometimes i think that you'll never
Understand me
But something tells me together
We'd be happy

(baby)
I will be your father figure
(oh baby)
Put your tiny hand in mine
(i'd love to)
I will be your preacher teacher
(be your daddy)
Anything you have in mind
(it would make me)
I will be your father figure
(very happy)
I have had enough of crime
(please let me)
I will be the one who loves you -
Until the end of time

That's all i wanted
But sometimes love can be mistaken
For a crime
That'sail i wanted
Just to see my baby's
Blue eyed shine
This time i think that my lover
Understands me
If we have faith in each other
Then we can be
Strong

I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who toves you
Until the end of time

If you are the desert
I'll be the sea
If you ever hunger -
Hunger for me
Whatever you ask for
That's what i'll be. .

So when you remember the ones who have lied
Who said that they cared
But then laughed as you cried
Beautiful darling
Don't think of me

Because all i ever wanted
It's in your eyes baby, baby
And love can't lie. No...
(greet me with the eyes of a child)
(heaven is a kiss and a smile)
Just hold on, hold on
I won't let you go, my baby

I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
Will be your father figure
Have had enough of crime
So i am gonna love you)
Until the end of time
Will be your father
Will be your preacher
'Ii be your daddy
Will be the one who loves you until the end of time

When the Arch. of Cant. was appointed, I started a thread with the question (from Harry and Paul) ''Is he quare?''

And the thread was smartly deleted.

Yet this one is allowed to go on and on.

What strange standards they have at Betfair.

Where calling someone a bastard is okay, but asking about their sexuality is not.

nothing worse than a **** *******

dr c, but this is proven.

Screaming - I think you may be wasting your time, introducing commonsense on a fred such as this.

Surely it's illogical?
If one of the head honchos in that religion is the product of something they denounce and they accept it, then surely they can't denounce it?

In keeping with the desperate need to share their pain and empathise with others,at least that his in his job description.

patchy recollection of events - more like selective recollection on the part of her ladyship

They've tried to put a positive spin on this by saying his mother has done a wonderful job bringing him and he is the man he is today because of her, nothing to do with a expensive private education of course or the fact she was an alcoholic.

Although it's not his fault I think his position is untenable.

So is Cameron's. But the privileged duo will remain

Crippen I,m not calling anyone anything I am stating a fact ...

She was probably Pished up on the Whiskey couldn't remember a thing

We are all in this Together...comes to mind.... 3s a crowd and all that

The mother has been given a very easy ride here - as usual.

She only happened to deny one man a son and lied to another that it was his.

For all Welby's rationalising & kind words, the man must be seething.

someone knew, the Montague Brownes? unless he is doing alot of dna tests with dead mens hair

the photo of the married couple and kid looks a picture now knowing the facts.
The look the 'father' gives the mother says to me he guessed.
Giving that the marriage was tumultuous and short perhaps he knew and couldnt live with it.
Im sure I wouldnt

the man must be seething.

Absolutely not - he's got God by his side giving him strength to overcome his emotions.

You have to laugh at some of Crippens little jokes, whether you want to or not.

seems to me like he had two dads. not no dad.

It was the first time in my life, as far as I can remember, that I thought 'what a ****'  whilst reading about his mother.

I rarely swear and never the c word, but how can this woman pretend that it came as a 'shock'.  The first thing she must have thought when she learnt she was pregnant was whose baby it was.  And to go on for sixty years and not tell him is abominable.

I think Welby has handled the situation very well and whilst it's a bit of tittle tattle so blo ody what...probably the majority of the aristocratic families in the country have similar stories in their families.It really is a case of what's new.

The Whisky selling  Bloke married to his mother (they both  liked a drop as well ) was not his dad
She had done the dirty deed with a Sir Anthony Montague Browne, Winston Churchill's last private secretary..Plain
