BREAKING NEWS
Breaking news on BBC New24. Just confirmed in the last few minutes. Very few details…. Last night, Tony Blair converted to Catholism
Why is this news? Who cares? Why is the BBC treating this like it’s the biggest news item of the year? Why have they rolled out Anne Widdecomme to do a phone interview? His wife is a catholic, his children are catholic, it’s been on the cards for a while. He isn’t in power any more. It remains to be seen if he has any relevance any more. So why does it matter what denomination he is.

If he's renouncing some of the decisions he made and votes his cast while he was in power, that's also pretty interesting.
Wasn't this predicted in the /speculative documentary/ 'The Trial of Tony Blair'?
It's news because this man was responsible for appointing the head of the Church of England.
Does it have anything to do with his association with George W? Would this 'official' announcement make W's 'base' happy? Otherwise, I too think it non-news and at best just a way to keep him in the spotlite.
