Cast the British public in the role of pastor and our politicians in the role of congregation and we have a full scale revivalist meeting going on in the UK, or at least the the part of it where members of the congregation get up on the podium and confess their sins and offer sums of money to their church (the Inland revenue). David Cameron , the leader of the conservative party, was the first to confess. He really regretted having used £680 of tax payers’ money to remove a Wisteria from his chimney. He realised the error of his ways and would not do it again and would sack any of his fellow shadow cabinet ministers who refused to pay back money that they had falsely claimed as expenses. And so started the flood of money and apologies. But it is not washing with the pastor. The Forgiveness and Redemption bit does not seem to be forthcoming.
