FOLLOWING Mr P Roscoe's letter in last week's edition of your Citizen newspaper, may I add a few words.

We were a proud nation years ago. Great Britain we were called, with a wonderful heritage made up by people in the past over hundreds of years. Now we have a Prime Minister, Tony Blair, who has brought disgrace to the British people.

What he sanctioned against Iraq and its people is little short of mass murder ... as bad as the terrorists responsible for September 11 when they destroyed the Twin Towers.

Against the wishes of many British people and other countries, he blatantly attacked Iraq, killing and maiming men, women and children, destroying their homes by bombs and fire.

Bush and Blair wanted to remove Saddam Hussain and his cabinet from power. There was no sound reason for them to destroy the country of Iraq. No provocation by the Iraq civilians against us. Blair lied over the WMD weapons, also the threat against us. He insisted on TV that Iraq had these weapons.

After a year and a half no WMD weapons have been found. So how could Iraq threaten us without these weapons. If they had had them surely they would have used them to protect themselves.

Blair wants us to go into Europe, we the majority of British people want to remain as we are, we are an independent nation and wish to remain so.

The Labour party should have removed Blair from power a long time ago but no one on TV or in the newspapers has the guts to condemn him.

On the contrary... he's condemned left, right and centre and isn't the dismaying aspect of all this that such condemnation achieves so little? - Ed.
