D E Margrett (You Say, January 4) says that Worcester should take within its boundaries the 12 adjoining areas and become a unitary authority, and that this should be included in a Regional Government territory based on Birmingham.

He then makes the statement that a regional system would almost certainly be beneficial for Worcester. May I suggest that he tells us why?

People do not realise that Britain is being deliberately broken up into regions. The process has already started with the devolution of Scotland, Wales, and the London Assembly.

The ultimate plan is to have a Europe of Regions, each region answerable to our masters in Brussels, thereby bypassing national government and making the nation state irrelevant.

Far from giving more power to the people, as the Government tells us, it will actually do away with democracy as we know it and put the decision-making firmly in the hands of the European Union.
