The other, more evil, England project

Peter Hitchens, in an interview with The American Enterprise, brings up the EU’s design to break down England into bite sized Euro units:

One of the main purposes of the European Union is to break down the nation-states into other units. The European Parliament will, if you press them, give you a map of these regions. England is divided into things called Northeast Region, Southeast Region, London Region, Eastern Region, which a lot of people don't even know they live in. There are shadow assemblies in these regions already being devised. The British Parliament at Westminster will continue to exist, but its powers, both internationally and nationally, will be sucked away: its international powers to Brussels, and its national powers will disappear to these artificial E.U. regions (along with the powers of our historic counties and city governments).
He also discusses the same issue in his latest Mail on Sunday article which is worth reading for this one paragraph:
Prescott plays cleverly on his resemblance to the comedian Les Dawson, but there is really nothing funny at all about this hardline, anti-British militant, or about his scheme.
I always thought there was something funny about Prescott.

UPDATE
This kind of comparison is completely beneath me:
Les Dawson John Prescott
