Hypocrisy

Well I live in magnificent splendour
I am honoured wherever I go
I sit in my ivory tower 
And pass judgement on all those below

I criticise government actions
Though nobody elected me
I always want more and I cadge from the poor
My organisations tax-free

I criticised all bankers bonus
Shout for more equal shares of the pot
In reality we are far richer
And what’s more were keeping the lot

I preach that we are all equal 
And demand laws that heed what I say
But I’m just a snob for your barred from top job
If you’re female or worse still your gay

Who am I? Have I got you guessing?
Well believe me I have no remorse
For the habit I have of cross-dressing
I am an Archbishop of course!!!!!!!!!!
