Yeah, Doug, I reckon Blair will turn Catholic, but it, surely, is not just a
matter of what you do but how you do it: Tony Blair becoming Catholic will
be a loaded political-social statement. David Bircumshaw, for example, would
be an entirely different matter, just cos he likes talking to squirrels and
listening to Lydia singing with the monks.
They also make very nice jam at Mount St Bernards Abbey too, y'know.
Best
Dave
