Having read today's ICM Poll in the Guardian you may wish to accept the
arrogance of your dismissal of my earlier assertions! I rest my case
with
just a hint of gloating.

You case being?

Have you read the poll or merely the headlines?

Q3. President George Bush is coming to Britain next week on a state
visit. Do you welcome his visit or would you prefer he did not come?


Welcome his visit - 43%


My case being that a majority of people are not antiwar/antiBush visit. You
have asked for evidence etc. Well here it is! Yes, I have read the article.
Have you? If so you will also have read that 36% would prefer him not to
come and a significant 21% did not know/had no views. This latter figure
alone suggests there are rather less "antis" than you would wish. Maybe
apathetic folk but certainly not strong "antis".
The Poll also reports that 47% consider the war justified; 41% unjustified
and 12% did not know/have no views.

While it has been an interesting debate I think it is now becoming a bit
tedious and very much off- topic. So its goodbye from me as he dusts off his
Stars& Stripes!!
