Rowan Williams hints at Brexit and Donald Trump

Former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams has expressed concern about "the blurring of boundaries between democratic decision and populist mandate.

Talking in Oxford on the same day that Donald Trump was inaugurated as US president, Williams said that blurring the boundaries between democratic decision and populist mandate undermined the legitimacy of a minority view.

In a television interview yesterday the US president spoke about how angry the world is.

His vocabulary is sounding more and more like that of a dictator.
