Poll

Majority believe west is losing 'war on terror'

Four out of five Britons believe the west is losing the "war against terror" and want Tony Blair to distance British foreign policy from the United States, a poll revealed today.

The YouGov survey for today's Spectator magazine, conducted following the arrest of 24 people in the alleged airline terror plot last week, also revealed that a majority thought it fairly likely Britain would suffer a terrorist attack in the next year, while a third thought it very likely.

But Mr Reid, who has been leading the government's response to last week's plot, will seize on the finding that 69% now believe terror suspects should be held and questioned for 90 days without charge.

Now the last figure is depressing, those 69% will be the first to surrender their human rights without a murmer.
