What pride Dr Giles Fraser exhibited in ordering the police off his steps!

It was obvious that Dr Giles Fraser, Canon Chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral, would have to go.

He is putting a brave face on it, but after shooting his (unauthorised) mouth off at the start of the protest the outcome was inevitable and he is presumably jumping before he is pushed.

To recap: 

As the protest camp was set up the police moved in (as they do) and, pleased as punch, Dr Fraser ordered the police off "his" steps and effectively gave the protestors his blessing (oh dear, yet another trendy Rev trying to get down with the kids and getting it hopelessly wrong).

What he should have done was consult with his colleagues so that they presented a unified message.  Possibly offered an alternative patch of land for the protest camp.  Explained that the cathedral had to be kept open for the ordinary people (the Church of England is Established, it is not some run-of-the-mill sect that can do as it likes).

How often have I seen self-important middle management executives rushing to talk to the media without clearing things with the PR department first!  Then they are told off by someone more senior, and have to publicly recant everything.  And ever afterwards their credibility is shot to pieces and eventually they have to go.

What pride Dr Giles Fraser exhibited in ordering the police off his steps! - but pride goes before a fall (Proverbs 16:18). 
Not sure who is giving PR advice to the anti-capitalism protest camp.  Not only have they got their targets in the wrong place and their messages confused.  They have also brought about the demise of one of the most high-profile supporters (the public might laugh at trendy vicars, but they also have a secret affection for them).
