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!!

Well done, Robert.

Marc.

Thank you Marc. I'm backing out. We both know that the latest figures
support our stance.

Robs stance was

"Hear hear. I agree totally with you! Quite frankly it is wishful
thinking to try to argue that the "anti-war" feeling was that strong.
Given the total population of the UK, I do not recall the country
grinding to a halt in a way it would have done so, had most of its adult
population joined a demonstration. There are other ways of expressing
opinions to parading in the streets."

This was challenged on the grounds of dubious logic. As Rob was
referring to the mood at the time of the march in february, the polls
from february matter. You dismissed the poll earlier because you did not
know what questions were asked. Well in full

http://www.icmresearch.co.uk/reviews...l-feb-2003.htm

Only 9% supported going to war without a fresh resolution.

Rob was frequently challeged to say what the poll showed that disagreed
with anything I said. He failed.

Rob was asked to justify calling me arrogant, he said it was because I
marked him 0/10 for intelligence, like you Rob cannot hold an argument
on usenet as it was someone else that made the 0/10 remark. Rob was
asked to therefore appologised for this, Rob did not. Rob is you ally in
this argument, oh dear!


just a pity others lack the grace to say they
may just have misjudged the public mood on this.

You formerly said you have no faith in polls, what brought about this
sudden Damascan conversion?

Methinks you are getting your knickers into something of a twist here. As
you are responding to what I said above to Marc, maybe you could enlighten
me by telling me exactly when I said I had no faith in polls?
As to the rest of what you say, this thread started off about the march
against Bush and, as the ICM Poll says, 43% are in favour, 21% are
sufficiently indifferent that they can't be bothered to express a view. End
of story!
