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 ideological he 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.
What you mean 'we', white man?
The archbishop's intervention came after the Church and the City of London Corporation agreed to suspend plans to evict protesters who have been camped on the doorstep of St Paul's for more than two weeks. The issue has caused deep divisions within the Church and led to the resignation of three members of St Paul's clergy.
And a lot of disgust among Anglicans outside of the hermetic clergy.

Fuck him! I hope the dangerous idiot dies soon. The last thing we need is another tax. With the damage the governments done to the economy through bad taxes just emerging now that we cannot cover up the damage with more debt.

I call for a new tax on Archdruids Archbishops - 100% of their salaries, plus all their possessions will be taken and sold. They'll be issued 2 sets of clothes (one to wear, one to wash) - preferably made of sackcloth. They can walk or take public transportation.
