Thread:Comments:Tony Blair debates religion with Christopher Hitchens in Canada/Comments from feedback form - "This is quite old news really...."/reply

The reason I felt it was important to post it, even though it was a few days late, was that it was of some significance: namely, that Tony Blair was involved. If it was just some random religious apologist, it wouldn't be significant but Blair was (and to some extent still is) an important political figure, so while it isn't news in the sense of being up-to-the-minute breaking news, it is news when someone of the political importance of Tony Blair is involved in something like this.
