Blair, Tony

Tony Blair will convert

While I have no wish, during this Lenten season, to make windows into men’s souls, I feel we have received so many mixed messages from the High Tory press about our temporal leader’s spiritual faith that I’ve decided not to leave God and Mr Blair to muscle it out between them but to work it out for myself. Is he a Catholic or not? It’s a fair question — not like prodding a chap about freemasonry. If the Supreme Governor of the Anglican Church herself can ask the Way Ahead group to juggle the possibilities of the next king but one marrying a Catholic, then the low heathens running the focus groups in Downing Street should stop being embarrassed about Mr Blair’s proclivities and come clean.
