>TONY BLAIR WRITES TO STOP THE WAR AND MEETS BRIAN HAW

>

>Stop the War Coalition is shocked but very pleased to receive this message 

>from Prime Minister Tony Blair and to hear of his interview with 

>award-winning peace campaigner Brian Haw.

>

>"DEAR STOP THE WAR COALITION,

>

>Unfortunately, I can't join your national demonstration against my war 

>policies in London on 24 February (see below for details), but I'm very 

>pleased to hear that my record WAR - WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? will be featured 

>at the protest. You can read my reasons for making this record, see my 

>video for the song and find out how to buy it on this website: 

>http://www.uglyrumours.com/

>

>If enough of you buy WAR - WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? it will go into the charts, 

>which the media won't be able to ignore. This will spread the peace message 

>and help bring the troops home. The record is available to buy now, either 

>by texting PEACE1 to 78789 or by download at http://tinyurl.com/33j4oj

>

>Any profits made from the record will go to Stop the War Coalition and help 

>them continue campaigning against my slavish support for George Bush and 

>his warmongering, which has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of 

>civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan and which George and I are now planning 

>to spread to Iran. Please buy WAR - WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? and forward this 

>message to everyone you can.

>

>To publicise your demonstration and to promote my musical plea for peace, I 

>have given an interview to the anti-war campaigner Brian Haw, which you can 

>view here: http://tinyurl.com/3dglkv

>

>By the way, Stop the War tell me that coaches are coming from all over the 

>country to be at Saturday's demonstration. It's very gratifying to hear 

>that my reputation – what I call my legacy – can draw such huge crowds to 

>the capital. You can find a coach in your area here: 

>http://tinyurl.com/3ytfyv

>

>I also hear that hundreds of thousands of leaflets and postcards will be 

>distributed across London this week and that Wednesday 21 February has been 

>designated LEAFLET THE TUBES day, when Stop the War hopes to publicise its 

>demonstration at every tube station in the city. Anyone who wants to help 

>or leaflet their neighbourhood or workplace, should contact 020 7278 6694 

>for leaflets or postcards.

>

>I'm very pleased to learn that you have organised THE DEBATE PARLIAMENT 

>WON'T HAVE on 20 March 2007 – exactly four years after George and I invaded 

>Iraq. MPs, politicians from the USA, a range of experts, campaigners and 

>other witnesses will discuss the Iraq war and its consequences. I'm afraid 

>I won't be able to join you, as it's my policy never to be present when the 

>Iraq war is discussed seriously. Judging by what an easy ride my war 

>policies have had in parliament, this seems to be the policy for most MPs 

>too. (See below for details of March 20 event.)

>

>I do of course wish your demonstration on 24 February every success (not). 

>You will be representing the vast majority in this country who have always 

>opposed my warmongering and I've always said that my government should be 

>the voice of the people.

>

>Yours, as nauseatingly hypocritical as ever,

>

>TONY BLAIR

>Prime Minister
