After the prolonged spectacle of the Dean and Chapter of St Pauls making asses of themselves over the Occupy London protests, I'm heartened by Giles Fraser's integrity (though I'm appalled that it's become necessary for him to do it, and I cannot think what the Chapter have been thinking, other than that they're running round like headless chickens in an unnecessary panic).

Despite the icon, I might note that Cramner, no bleeding heart liberal to say the least, broadly agrees with me.

Of course, I always wondered how long Giles Fraser could stick it at St Pauls...

Broadly agree, though if a shoe that is already in the air on the other side of the river drops in a way that I think it won't I may revise my views. If that's opaque enough.

He is friends with friends of mine, I am not sure we entirely hit it off when we met but that's a personal thing.

Cramner rather seems to have changed sides. Or maybe not, dunno. There are of course a multiplicity of sides.

Our cathedral here continues to be very supportive of the protests (and is now providing them with electricity, among other things), but I've been a bit entertained by the Dean issuing press releases and doing many media interviews which effectively say, "You know, not that we're comparing ourselves with, oh, some other cathedral that may be in a similar situation, not at all, we just felt we had to say that we love having these people here. Not that I'm suggesting that, say, some other cathedral doesn't. I'm just sayin', you know?"
