Paxo meets the Canon

Watch this replay of Jeremy Paxman's interview with the former Canon of St Paul's Cathedral, Dr Giles Fraser, while you can. It will only be available online for a few more days. This is the interview referred to in my blog post yesterday about the time bank. The reference to city bankers not having a clue about how to resolve the crisis is towards the end of the interview.
