Daily Express Headline:
Tony Blair may announce his conversion from the Anglican Church to Catholicism at a meeting with the Pope later this month. And the Prime Minister has even discussed becoming a Roman Catholic deacon, according to a new book.Mr Blair is reported as asking his confidant, Father Timothy Russ: “Would this be possible?”He was told, “It usually takes two or three years”, to which he replied: “The fact that I’m PM, could this make a difference?” Father Timothy, a priest at the Immaculate Heart of Mary, near the Prime Minister’s official Buckinghamshire country residence Chequers, allegedly told Mr Blair that a formal role in the Church could give him fresh moral clout on climate change and Africa
No 'Daily Merlin' here ... but, I see strong emotion in Mr Blair's eyes ... a strong sense of sorrow or perhaps despair ... not one of the best pictures; biting his lip or perhaps his tongue ... itching to say something ... something is clearly coming to focus in his eyes.... a man bordering on realisation; the penny to drop ... a man to burst into to tears for all those wasted years .... Mr Blair I sense misguidance and I sense you now know it ... years of training to keep his eyes on the camera; hold an authorative stare ... looking out at certain faces perhaps he knows will look ... trying to tell them something perhaps others cant see? A focussed eye .... a word or two in his mind ... but what is it he is trying to say?
