Archdruid calls for new tax on bankers
Dr  Rowan Williams... sometimes known as the Archdruid of Canterbury, an indifferent theologian and a poor communicator, so obtuse as to occasionally be mistaken for brilliant but chock full of bland New Agey Feel-Goodisms ... said that the Church of England had a "proper interest in the ethics of the financial world" and warned that there had been "little visible change in banking practices" following the recession. When will the Church of England sell all its treasures on the open market so as to raise money for the poor? Get back to me, your ArchDruidness, when that happens. He urged  David Cameron... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite,which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideologicalhe lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger,but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ... and George Osborne to drop their opposition to a European-wide tax on financial transactions, which is expected to be formally proposed by La Belle France and Germany at the G20 summit of world leaders starting tomorrow. "The demands of the protesters have been vague. Many people are frustrated beyond measure at what they see as the disastrous effects of global capitalism; but it isn't easy to say what we should do differently. It is time we tried to be more specific," Dr Williams said.
