TONY Blair tells the Iraqi people that Iraq will be run by Iraqi people and by no one else.

Why does he not tell the British people that Great Britain is to be run by British people and by no one else?

Why is he so determined to see that Great Britain be divided into regions and taken into a federal state of Europe to be ruled by some 20 unelected commissioners - who to date have proved to be corrupt.

His endless stealth in achieving this goes on unabated and we now read that parish boundaries are to be deleted from maps - will it be counties next?

We also learn that a £14m cash bonanza for market towns is to come not from county councils but from one of the quangos set up as a forerunner to a regional Government, namely Advantage West Midlands.

If this is not political stealth then what is? Both New Labour and the Lib Dems must be stopped in their blinkered determination to destroy this country.
