Britain is with us Not so, Nadine...71 percent of British oppose war, IT'S NOT OUR FIGHT SAY BRITISH PUBLIC
By David Seymour And Oonagh Blackman
A MASSIVE 71 per cent of Britons are against the nation joining a war on Iraq without UN approval, a Mirror poll reveals today.

The figure is almost 20 per cent higher than a week ago - when 52 per cent said Britain should NOT support US policy on Iraq - showing how swiftly the public is turning against involvement.

More than half the people in this country also believe President Bush to be the third biggest threat to world peace after Osama bin Laden and Iraqi tyrant Saddam Hussein.

The poll findings will make unpleasant reading for Tony Blair as he prepares to defy public hostility and argue for Britain joining a US attack on Iraq.
