St Tony Comes into the Light
Guido is trying to take a break from blogging and ignore the newsflow. Hard when the two main news items in Ireland today are Taoiseach Bertie Ahern being cross examined over corruption allegations and Tony formally converting to Catholicism. Blair always was upwardly mobile.
UPDATE : Fraser Nelson had a good piece anticipating Blair's formal conversion last month. Guido's struggle for the re-Catholicisation of England seems to be progressing well with the news that Catholic church-goers out number C of E church-goers.

I don't get it. Whether you agree with them or not, Roman Catholics have principles.
Equivocation, quibbling and casuistry -- Phony's joining people who will appreciate his special skills.
Tony Blair raised fears about an investigation into a Saudi arms deal days before it was dropped last year, a newly-disclosed document has shown. The then PM had said the decision to stop the probe into the BAE deal was taken because of national security and was not linked to commercial interests. But in a letter released during a legal case, Mr Blair refers to "concern" over ongoing business negotiations.
Bliar, Bliar, pants on fire
I would love to overhear his first confession - when he has to own up to all the lies he told the country! How many Hail Marys, I wonder?
Pope blair the first anyone? I hear he had a nice intimate meal in some place called granita with the pope don't know what was discussed though.
When I heard that Tony Bliar had been converted, I was rather hoping that someone had kicked him between the posts at Twickenham

Pope: Tony, you seem like a man we can do business with.
Tony: Papa, my family is your family. (kisses ring) Anyone fucks with us and they'll be sleeping with the fishes. Try some more meatballs...just like mama used to make.
I can't figure it either. Judged by his actions he is a money worshipping, Godless, heathan, charlatan bastard who, along with Sharon Blair QC the freeloader, whored the office of prime minister like none before him; along with Bush and the little Spaniard, launched World War Three and, in a Devil's bargain with the hapless stuttering Brown, beggared abd shamed the United Kingdom.
I wonder if Pope Nazi, Protector General of Global Nonces R Us, would tell his congregation quite what one has to do to NOT be admitted to Holy Mother Church.
ps That Lord Robertson of Dunblaen, is he a catholic ?
What makes anyone think that Bliar will tell the truth at confession? The evidence points in another direction altogether. Perhaps he is just longing for that sense of guilt that comes with being a Catholic. I can tell him he didn't need to bother, he's earned any amount of guilt that he wants.
Ah Tone, ah Tone thy'll get thy fairing. In Hell they'll roast ye like a herrin'.
Apologies to the Bard.
So he'll be hanging out with boy-bumpers who launder money for organized crime. No change there, then.
Heil Ratzinger!
For some reason, this is being treated as a major news story.
1. It's hardly a great surprise.
2. It's not really very important.
3. Urm...Who cares?
Look, you chaps.
I mean. Really.
All I did was take a point of view on Iraq. I respect your right to take a different view. I had long and detailed negotiations with his holiness God on the matter and, ultimately, he agreed with me that Saddam was a bastard worth sacrificing. I mean. I had pressures too, y'know. Those rotters threatening to expose dear Peter [and the other one I suppose] had us over a barrel.
We have achieved so much the forces of conservatism wish to destroy.
And so I ask of you, as I asked of his holiness Him.
Which was the lesser evil?
I commend my soul to The Lord, untarnished. We are still in negotiation over Cherie's.
Three Hail Marys (or a zillion) doesn't cover Blair's sin of commission that resulted in 75,000 Iraqi children now living in temporary camps and shelters. (Source: UNICEF).
He's just so up himself. Hypocrite.
I hope that being a Catholic convert doesn't make him immune from being tried for war crimes at The Hague. Illegal, immoral and unnecessary war.
How can someone who supports abortion so avidly be accepted into the RC church ?
I covered the reasons for Tony Blair's rumoured conversion to the Church of Rome back in November.
Tony Blair - I will be the next Pope
Can I just use this opportunity to mention that I have Charles Dickens "guesting" for me with his ghost story:
A Christmas Carol
It's in installments, with the last installment on Christmas Day.
Though I'm not sure that this is how you spell "instalments"....
Blair will have made his first confession already, as you have to before you are received into the Church. The mind reels...
Harro. I am Mr Sam, owner of the Fuk Yoo Ken lestulant in Rambeth, south Rundon. The other day Mr Ken Rivingstone and his flend Mr Ree Grasper come in for meal.
Mr Ken is Chairman of Rundon, bit rike Mao. Mr Ree is bad man. He reeches off latepayers.
Mr Ken say "Gleat here, innit Ree? In Rundon, thanks to my murticurtular poricees, we can have a meal from any cuntly around the grobe. Rebanese, Rat, Lumanian, Flench, Itarrian, Callibean, Bangradeshi. Anything but Engrish.
"Why no Engrish?" I ask him
"Because Engrish is clap. All things Engrish clap. Too many Engrish in Rundon, so I ban them."
"But you are Engrish, Mr Ken" I point out
"Eulopean" he said.
"But your fliend Mr Ree is Engrish or Blitish".
"He is swarthy and has a rittle beard" said Mr Ken. "And he rike Lobbin Hood, lob flom lich and give to poor.
"But I am poor, Mr Ken. He not give to me."
"You not brack," said Mr Ken. "You sritty. You not ploper minollity.
"But I am Chinese. I speak mandolin. And Engrish are minollity in Blent, Newham and Tower Hamrets."
"Shut up. You talk lubbish" said Mr Ken. "Now can we rook at the menu?"
I bling them menu.
"Do you have sweet & sour organic quorn made with all Fair Tlade ingledients?" ask Mr Ken.
"What Fair Tlade?"
"Everyone must serve Fair Tlade in Rundon. You not serve? I crose you down. We must stop exproitation of peasant workers in deverroping cuntlies. All emproyee at my GRA must eat Fair Tlade always, or they roose their job."
"How you know if they eat Fair Tlade at home?"
"They get laid at night"
"So does Mrs Sam"
"Don't be frippant! Disobey GRA legurations is not raughing matter. We have 685 emproyees who laid their correagues' houses and frats at night. All food in house must be Fair Tlade. And they check no emproyee has been smoking cigalette or cigalirro, or dlinking riquor."
"But I smoke cigalette sometime, Mr Ken"
"Light, I definitely crose you down. You are kirring mirrions of helpress and vurnerable by smoking cigalette."
If you crose me down, do I get a glant to start up again?
No. You are sritty, not brack. Tough ruck. You own lestulant, you gleedy capitarist. You sritties not leplesented on any of my stlategic multidisciprinaly glassloots networking committee crusters. You not vote for me.
"I give you flee meal then"
Ah, now you're talking. Write him a cheque for half a million, Ree."
To be continued...
Bogeyman at the top of the posts said:
"I don't get it. Whether you agree with them or not, Roman Catholics have principle"
Now they've got Blair's principles to go with them. As from yesterday, the average Catholic is 8.2% more of a conniving,lying scumbag than he was last week. (Blair/1,000,000,000=8.2). I hope they think they're getting a good deal.
One of my many wishes for the coming year is that the world may start to educate itself, and turn off their TVs forever. The depth of ignorance of so called educated people sometimes leaves me stunned into silence.
One place some may like to start is by understanding that Zionism is not Judaism in anyway shape or form. Zionists are mainly Roman Catholics, Christians atheists or agnostics of one kind or another.
Most REAL Jews I know think/KNOW the State of Israel is a sin unto god.
If people started to understand this basic FACT. They might start understanding something VERY VERY important about this very crazy mixed up world we all live in. A world that if it carries on like it is at the moment, not anywhere near as many of us will be living on for much longer.
Get your heads sorted people and soon, you really may not have much time left.
Mr Sam not know about Zionism but he not rike Jewish food. Gefilte fish they boil for three hours, so it does not make nice sauce.
If I was the Cardinal I'd check my watch
It'll be islam next.
mr sam what are you saying ?
could pekin duck be needed , what on earth have nu labour done now , surely mandelson isnt connected to it.
wed ken now wed faced, found with fingers in till and lying public accounts abbacus.
people of london soon get to know how wed ken , gets poniz support funding, poor man i thought being of the parish he could do the job , turns out he like money and power more than budget restraint , seduced by mandelson ecnomic miracle book of magic personal pension and finace when in politics.
as for tony: well catholicism , why not, it may cause you a few problems, but rather be held to account by gods representative , than held by mandleson, look what happend to dirty european sociialist, went mentally bankrupt when challenged.
polish plumber now have literary challenger from mr sam , mr sam appears to have leak , polish plumber should not rush to fix it may be interesting.
He's probably hoping to join the Mafia at some stage.
Be interesting to see if Doris Karloff leaves the Catholic church now she realises that they let just anyone in these days ....
Converts aren't real catholics.They're the camp followers of the church militant.

Bliar is a (clinical) Narcissist. If it comes out of his mouth, it is the truth. Simple as that.
Next move is to formally join the Conservative Party.
"Mr Ree is bad man. He reeches off latepayers".
A crassic! More from Mr. Sam please.
The amazing thing is that any intelligent person could believe in Catholicism or any other version of such primitive mumbo-jumbo in the 21st century!
I hope that one day we will all be rational atheists.
All the comments on confession are unfair....he has a lot to get off his conscience
Look on the bright side too ...while he's saying all those Hail Marys he wont be buggering anything else up. Mind you, he will probabaly employ a ghost pray-er to do them for him.
Luke 15 verse 10
We'll need more than God to save us in 2008. Batten down the hatches, Brown's buggared the economy:
".....Worse, changes pushed through by Gordon Brown in 1998 have caused the de facto cash and liquid assets ratio to collapse from post-war levels above 30 per cent to near zero. "Brown hadn't got a clue what he was doing," he says.
The risk for Britain - as property buckles - is a twin banking and fiscal squeeze. The UK budget deficit is already 3 per cent of GDP at the peak of the economic cycle, shockingly out of line with its peers. America looks frugal by comparison.........."

"At the Day of Judgement we shall not be asked what we have read but what we have done."
Stan, is that right, that you earn more than MP's?
Watch out for "NUCATH", and Blair as its leader.
Imagine Bean McBrun as his treasurer, and the Millibands as alter boys.
Oh dear, I nearly blasphemed.
"Of course,there was a point when Tony was walking around with a Koran and a Bible. It looks like Catholicism has won out in the end" -John Prescott
OTT but brilliant coup for Labour in how to really aggravate strikes in the public sector - they just awarded themselves a 10% pay rise having told the police that they're not getting the promises 2.5%
Now comes our winter of discontent ...
My father told me as a boy that the Roman Catholic chruch was the richest organisation in the world, richer by twenty times than General Motors (in its heyday), and that none of its power was used for good. He was more right than he knew.
As ever it takes an immigrant tradesman to put into words what the world has been covering up for so long, that the modern Church of Rome is an unalloyed force for evil, and its leading practitioners are the spawn of the devil. Like the repellent Blair duo, the Pope's first and last concern is his and his church's interest, and the supplicants can bend over and take it.
Stanislav has hit the nail on the head about the Pope-Nazi, and all his revolting followers, among which the unpleasant little actor Mel Gibson is a prime example, and the hermaphroditic Ruth Kelly another, to say nothing of the nonce George Robertson who needs a good ventilating.
Apart from anything, would you trust anyone with your children who actually professe to believe this Western form of Obeah?
Heres a test would blair leave a catholic priest to babysit leo for a month?? or has he already promised him to the pope for xmas?
Great Scott, who deleted Stanislaves masterpiece? Not mon brave.
It will be visible later at
http://aplumberslogic.blogspot.com/
Who gives a fuck anyway? All this religious shit is a load of bollocks, there is no god. Proof if proof were needed that Bliar is an utter twat.
could blair ask the pope where all missing data went cos the only answer that we get is god knows and with the pope claiming to be his right hand man(gods not blairs) he could ask.
Then we can learn some lesson or other,draw a line for some reason and move on to the next fuck up.Oh and call for a review.
main headline in the 'Observer' today...
Blair's plan to convert started in No 10
fascinating
or possibly not
Widdecombe's plan to convert started while being pleasured by a big jack donkey
now that would make an interesting story but tragically, it isn't true
it was one of my papal bulls
;-)
Bet you're honoured that St Tony has joined your church, Guido. As an Anglican all I can say is good riddance to him.
So when does he consider converting to honesty,decency and having a conscience?
gruntfuttock, his latest move is hardly a propitious one for espousing any of the laudable aims you list.
The Vatican's decision today to transform into the Blair's Seventh Day Cherry-Pickers Churchgoers association, has shook many pillars of Faith.
The new sect, somewhat to the right of the narcissistic spectrum, which expects institutions to adjust their beliefs and values so that he may be accommodated. Pope Phoney, the blaimless, welcomed the RC conversion but maintained that his mind responds to no other stimulus than that he is right and that everyone who believes differently is wrong.
As of today masturbation, fornication, adultery, pornography, prostitution, rape, homosexual acts and contraception are no longer constitute a mortal sin. Also the procurement or performance of, as well as assistance in, abortion no longer carries the penalty of excommunication.
Tone the father, Tone the son, Tone the holy toast.
One corrupt war criminal and war enabler - Der Pope - welcomes another corrupt war criminal and war enabler into the fold.
It stinks to HIGH HEAVEN.
You couldn't make it up.
Which other war criminals will Der Pope annoint to Sainthood next? Adolf Hiler? Josef Goebbels? Gordon Brown?
Ah Bertie, the man is a world unto himself. Perhaps the only minister for finance to keep his money in a safe when interest rates were 19% a year.
stanislav, your first stop for festive plumbing needs said...
Tony Blair and An hundred and twenty days of Sodom. The Project renewed.
Countless, countless children brutalised, betrayed, buggered and befouled and then, by this horrible cunt Ratzinger and his fucking gangsters, damned for Eternity. Great company Mr Blair keeps. Grinning Tony Blair, the nonces' friend, and brother in Christ.
When Ratzinger was consigliere to the former "pope," the ghastly, tarmac-slobbering John Paul 11, the Pole, he ordered cardinals world-wide to protect the church from complaining victims of sustained sexual abuse at the hands of the Vatican's soldiers for Christ; they were to do this by either buying the parents' silence for trifling sums, or by warning complainants that if they persisted with their complaint they would be excommunicated. This, for a believer, is the heaviest shit. Just imagine, though, listen you little bastard, you tell any more of these lies about nice Father Murphy and you'll roast in Hell, for ever and forever. Pope Nazi is a fucking rotten evil bastard.
As a huge, priestly child sex abuse scandal unfolded in the US a few years back Ratzinger ordered the US branch of the Family to put their massive financial and real estate interests into protective voluntary bankruptcy so that they would not have to settle the hundreds of compensation claims then in the US courts. Honest, not invent.
Pope Nazi is a rotten evil child-molesting bastard who should be in jail, well qualified, then, to welcome the gangster. and war criminal Yo, Blair and his revolting thieving bansee wife.
It has long been Ratzinger's policy to migrate outed child-molesting priest-nonces to other vulnerable parishes, dioceses and countries; failing, in fact refusing, to inform the authorities of the vileness and criminality of his employees; it's a bit like sending them off to Brussels. Conspiring with a world wide web of demons in frocks, the grinning Blairs plumb new depths.
Pope Nazi's capos everywhere, simpering, gutless Cormac Murphy O'Nonce in this country, still abide by the Ratzinger Dogma: move and protect the abusive priest at all costs and damn the victim. All very Blairite. Who said George Robertson was not an obvious choice for NATO Secretary General? Who said George Robertson endorsed gun license applications for known paedophile and multiple child killer, Thomas Hamilton of the famous Dunblane Massacree ?
The head of the Roman Catholic church which our Tony has just joined is a bully, a brute, a liar a criminal and a fucking disgusting protector of those who commit the foulest, most aberrant, most delinquent, most unfuckingforgiveable offences against the most vulnerable. Bend over, sonny, I have a present here from you from God. Bless you my child and your tight little arse.
The Holy Smirking Father is an utter cunt who needs a quick rub down with a housebrick and relocating out of his jeweled nonces' palace and down a mineshaft.
Plumber only mention all this because someone above thought Blair's angling for forgiveness and maybe even beatification unnewsworty. In a way Blair has come out. Aligning himself with yet another international criminal he confirms once again his venality; his addiction to showy, kitsch self-publicity, his Me-First indifference to the suffering of others and his complete disregard for the conventions of decency, let alone the laws which govern most of us. Bless me, Father, for I would never sin. I would never do anything wrong. Ask Mr Campbell.
Don't believe any shit about God, this is all about Blair, the warmongering hypocrite. God, you can bet your sweet arse, would smite the foul Blairs with an rod of fucking iron, from here unto fucking Eternity.
Wonder what those nice Murdochs will allow their employees to print about this latest obnoxious, pious Dlair obscenity; Happy Christmas readers, perhaps, In God We Trust. (Only not the little children.)
It sounds like a major piece of spin to me.
Rather than the positive spin of Bliar joining the Catholic church; more likely he was marginalised/kicked out of the Church of England.
And look at the strange timing - the story breaks on the weekend we all go off for a long festive break.
The bloke is totally deluded. He's the Jimmy Swaggart of British politics.
Will this help Blair become European President ?

No-one ever gets kicked out of the Church of England.
Lots of upset proddies and agnostics and the like on here ra nicht.
If they dont like Blair and dont like the Catholic church( the real thing, 2000 years old, not got up in 1550 by that bampot Knox or tae get some wastrel, fat fetid english king a divorce)
well whits their problem?
It's all complete tosh, of course.
Tony Blair has clearly read Brideshead Revisited a few too many times. He just wants to emulate Charles Ryder.
Now his best friend Alistair Campbell (Sebastian) has vanished into exile in order to drink himself to death and the Blairite Bright Young Things have all died or moved away, Blair has to find new meaning in life. Those endless summer days spent scoffing plover's eggs and declaring wars are now gone. It is time for Blair to Do Something Meaningful.
Incidentally, Gordon is Bridey - a stuffy, pompous old bore who gets on everyone's nerves. He waits ages to inherit Downing Street, only to find there is nothing left but a pile of ruins.
Word verification: nopyps
The Catholic Church is a fascistic control freak organisation wedded to central control and totally intolerant of dissent. Connections to Mafioso and secretive masonic lodges are all part of day to day living. Meanwhile paedophile priests and Vatican bank money launderers are protected from prosecution
Meanwhile on the public front the lies, hypocrisy and willingness to spend other peoples money continue unabated
So the real mystery is not why
Tony Blair converted now but why he didn't do it 13 years ago when he embarked on the grand deception
Tony Blair and the Catholic Church - a marriage made in heaven - Arf Arf
I would love to have been a fly on the wall at that first confession.
I wonder if he made any reference to Dr. David Kelly?
Great, ain't it? Kneel in a box, chat to a kiddie-fiddler for 10 minutes, take the rap, do the Hail Marys and all is forgiven.
I was binned by my local priest for marrying a divorcee, forbidden to receive the sacraments, banished from the church. I'll be having a word about that tomorrow!
Does Blair's conversion to the Nazi Catholic Church counter the Cat Stevens conversion to Mohammedanism, and therefore restore world equilibrium?
Oh! I thought not!
'The re-catholicisation of England' Guido? 180 years has passed since Catholic emancipation and our real old aristo's never gave up the 'old religion' (as you, who once quaffed Norfolks' champagne and canapes during your Oxford days should know).
The reformation in England was nothing more than a property grab.
Spook Buster
And now a story full of the Christmas Spirit, to show that there is some good in being Roman Catholic. I was travelling in Lithuania in the dead of winter with three Poles and a Norwegian when we arrived at a country hotel very late at night. The hotel was expecting us and had persuaded the chef to stay on to cook us a meal. The three Poles and I were thirsty for beer but as the hotel was remote and the ground was thick with snow they had not received their normal beer delivery, so there were only a few bottles left. Two young Lithuanian lads were in the bar, and they volunteered to drive to the nearest town to fetch some beer from a convenience store. We gave the lads the local equivalent of a £50 note (we had no change) and as they disappeared into the night, I remarked to my Polish companions that would be the last we would see of them. The Poles were convinced I was too cyncial as the Lithuanians were "good Catholics". Sure enough, 30 minutes later the two lads returned with two crates of beer; furthermore, they had spent their own money, as the bank note was "too large" and they handed it back. We got the chef to cook them two steak dinners and we spent the rest of the night sharing the beer. It is rare to find such honesty and such charity.
Geordie Scoot, nice story, but fuck all to do with CATHOLICISM. It's the evil bastards in charge that are the problem, as always. They, like the Islamicists want to keep their acolytes in thrall to a lot of mediaeval mumbo-jumbo BS that gives them power and money - not entirely unlike socialism in fact.
Merry Christmas anyway!
How long before his 'miracles' are recorded?
Great to see every proddie, (believing or not), nutcase attracted to Guido s article like flies to shit.
Rarely have I felt surer of the intellectual bankruptcy of proddieism in all its forms than when I read the sad rantings of clowns who couldnt scrape an o grade history between them but chosse to post here.
the fact that maist o them are english makes it doubly delightful. I have heard mair sense at Ibrox, and thats saying something.
God bless the old boy in Rome and his cotton socks.
Sorry to piss on your parade Guido but the outfit that Blair has joined has about as much to do with catholicism as Stalin with human kindness. The Chair of Peter has been vacant since 1958. As there are only about 40 valid masses in England then there is no way Papists out number heretics practising or otherwise
evil papist from what I assume to be the home of Gorbals Mick - careful how you denigrate the English. We are the ones paying for your benefits and allowing Scotch cunts like you to live off the state tit and spend our money on watching your missing links brush up their religious bigotry at what passes for a "beautiful" game.
Your time living on Southern sponsored deep fried Mars Bars is coming to an end, and the auld enemy are going to fuck you over.
Good luck with the Popenazi picking up the slack.
