Archbishops Condemn City Traders
The two most senior figures in the Church of England have condemned the behaviour of City traders, and questioned their value to society.

Writing in the Spectator, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams criticises those who buy and sell debt solely for their own profit.

It follows a speech to bankers by the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu.

In it, he called share traders who cashed in on falling prices "bank robbers and asset strippers".
