Our sympathy should be saved for the City workers who pick their way around the tents , says Charles Moore, former Editor of The Daily Telegraph writes.
Charles Moore is a committed Roman Catholic who writes an exceptionally good column in the Teegraph. This week he visited the protest at St Paul’s. He commented in h9s column, “The protesters seem to imagine that, without their tented witness to the wickedness of the rich, no one would have noticed that capitalism is in its biggest crisis since the early 1930s. “Abolish wealth,” cried one of their posters. Don’t the angry campers realise that the West’s bankers and politicians are managing it nicely without needing any extra help?
“Canon Fraser has such a tender conscience that he is walking away from the City of London just when it could use some tough ministry. No doubt his martyrdom will involve a book deal, a newspaper column and, in the Church of England’s own good time, a bishopric, but what good does it do to the cathedral or to the souls it serves?”
