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.

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.
