St. Paul’s Cathedral issues prophets warning

[dipsydoodle]

Concerned money lenders have downgraded the Church of England’s credit rating, after St. Paul’s Cathedral announced it was losing ‘up to £20k a day’, with the monumental losses blamed on ‘in -tents competition’.

“In the past, the church has occupied the moral high-ground. But for the past week, we’ve had to share that pitch with a load of anti-capitalist camping enthusiasts”, complained the Dean of St. Pauls.

“Initially we welcomed them. They told us they were interested in greed and the exploitation of the vulnerable, areas that hold a great deal of interest to the church.”

“But we’ve since found out that they’re against both these issues, and that’s why we’ve fallen out with them.”

2. Actually, the Dean of St Pauls has been very supportive of the protestors

I suspect his volte-face was due to pressure from above.

3. the irony: They claim to 'occupy' "moral high-ground"

which means, apparently, they're not against amoral corporations.

4. Blame is being attached to the church

whereas its the City of London which actually controls the situation - they could simply invoke the Highways Act if they wanted to. Last nights episode hasn't done a lot to aid the protestors - 90% of the tents were actually empty.
