6 I SEE that now the election is over, crafty Blair has given himself a £50,000-a-year rise.

Meanwhile, the Europe he's dedicated to take us fully and federally into, has told Ireland that the referendum on the Nice treaty which they turned down must be taken again. The result did not suite Brussels.

With this iron fist dictatorship, it can only eventually lead to war. May God help us.
