Politicians and the Church of England have an axe to grind with Google.

According to a report from the telegraph.co.uk, the search engine is seeing backlash against its policy to accept online gambling advertisements again.

"Google should stop advertising online gambling firms, according to 40 MPs, who have signed an early day motion," said the Telegraph.

"The MPs backed a warning by the Church of England warning that the search engine's actions were irresponisible."

"The motion, brought by Khalid Mahmood, Labour MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, said: 'This house notes with concern the recent decision of Google to reintroduce online gambling advertisements during a period of economic downturn; supports the Church of England's position that the actions of Google risk normalising gambling in society; and calls on Google to review its policy in line with its own obligations on corporate social responsibility.'"
