How nice for Tony Blair to be absolved of his sins of the past decade by joining the Catholic Club.
If I were him, I too would be worrying about where my immortal soul was going to be spending the rest of eternity. There aren't many of us who can claim such a spectacular starring role in the deaths of over a million Iraqis, the first ever increase in the gap between rich and poor under a Labour government, such profligate waste of public money through privatisation of our services via the PFI back door and mad IT schemes, and rewriting Magna Carta regarding our liberties.
Blair has followed in Thatcher's footsteps in helping turn British society into Pottersville, Bifftown, Las Vegas-On-Sea.
Now he wants the money, he wants the glory, he wants all the baubles the material world has to offer AND he wants to go to heaven. Does this boy want to have his cake and eat it or what?!
Spirituality is a major part of being human, but why, when organised into religion, does it turn into something repellent? If he thinks that saying a few Hail Marys and being chucked under the chin by a bloke in a big hat is actually going to change anything, he has a serious shock coming when he passes on into the void that is death.
And. Everything. Stops!

Well, they all find Gawd and Blair is desperate for a legacy. But his legacy is one of a warmongering liar and that's how he will go down in the annals of history.
"Now he wants the money, he wants the glory, he wants all the baubles the material world has to offer AND he wants to go to heaven."
And ....Middle East peace envoy! If it wasn't so scary it would be laughable. As the Facebook group goes, Tony Blair as Middle East peace envoy..Is he taking the piss?
If Kissinger's nomination for Nobel Peace Prize marked the death of satire, with the appointment of Blair as ME peace envoy it's mouldering in its grave.
I reckon he thinks he can be Pope himself one day.
Oh, jeez! Don't give him any more ideas.
BTW, D.B., really liked your piece on Bladerunner and the Teeside skyline so I'm linking to you.
"I reckon he thinks he can be Pope himself one day.
Ahhhh, the legacy of Pope Tone I.
If not the pope, is he angling for beatification?
Thanks Madam Miaow, glad you liked it! I've linked to you as well.

What's the odds two years down the line with some stitched up Palestinian State and Blair being hailed as Kissingeresque...Then the Nobel Prize for Tone, too.
Now that is depressing.
Depressing and inevitable, V.
Trapped in the exact same dystopian future I wanted to avoid.
Somewhere over the rainbow there's a parallel world where arch-villains aren't rewarded for their crimes and principles are paramount. Comradeship is the norm and my waist is still 24 inches.
