At least two of the speakers at the London demonstration Jackson and Bianca Jagger seemed to be arguing the same thing.
Below is a rightwing detailed analysis of the poll, which Blair and his allies will scan closely to find a way through.

Either way is imperialist, and justified by ideas of liberal imperialism.
Nor does the poll analyse how public opinion would stand up to civil disobedience in the UK accompanied by newsreports of inevitable atrocities during the invasion.
