These surveys are a con, because they haven't asked 80% of the British people. I think its more accurate to say that 80% of those asked said Tony Blair should stop supporting George Bush and his war mongering. So, it all depends on the total amount of those asked, as to how conclusive this statement is

I agree wholeheartedly, its a fake war fought on behalf of US corporate interests to secure oil for the future and the US military needing it for further conquests. When it starts to run out, who controls oil controls the world.
From Stifle
"Our"warmongering" saved you limeys,are you glad you do not speak German now?Don't mess with the U.S. we still have a few bombs left over in the event that you feel left out!"
Saved us from what? The Nazis'? Thats only partially true, without the US being tricked and cajoled into supporting the cause of freedom in Europe by Churchill and the Japanese attack (provoked) on Pearl Harbour, the US would have likely continued its policy of isolationism.
Germany had already offered an armistice to Britain, if Germany could keep Europe and deal with Stalin, UK would be able to keep its Empire. Hitler realised he could never beat the Commonwealth Navy and so was quite happy to allow the UK to rule the sea's if he could keep continental Europe. Hitler actually had a lot of respect for the English system and Empire, doesn't make it or him right, but thats how it was.
The US knew that if this came to pass, eventually it would change the power base in the world to create new poles, being the British Empire, The German/Japanese Alliance and the US, as Russia was expected to crumble and shift its power structures west away from Eastern Europe. This power change would make the US even more isolated if it refused to deal with these new entities as they would control all land and sea outside the America's.
So the UK had a get out clause, but to be honest any nation that didn't want to help out against Naziism or claims afterwards it was a favour is rather neanderthal and your claim makes a mockery of your countrymen's selfless acts on behalf of it.

Stifle yourself come on Bush is a bum. British people have always had a good relationship with the good old USA. Lets face it were probable related along the line. However Blair may want to kiss his backside and it has cost him his job. You know you can always come in at the end of a war and take credit. Only 80% seems low to me.

yea I dam well do. How would we feel if we were invaded by a Muslim army from the middle east Asia ect .And could only sit and watch all these troops occupying our country in the name of saving us from western culture .And putting a government in charge of Muslim culture ,.chosen and supported by those governments .And if one fights back they are called terrorists When they are in their own country fighting in there own part of the world and country against an invading force of Superior power. The middle east and the people should be left to sort there own out. When the NATO troops leave these countries they will revert back to like they were before. There will always be the Saddam's ect history tells us this. Have we not learnt anything? moden weapons will never win against the peoples will. Tony Bush and his one man band is telling all the people millions of them. What is good for them same vain has these people that write books.Trying to tell you how to bring kids up,they haven't got or had any. Come back Adolf all is forgiven

I like the first part of your question best - 'More than 80% of British People Think'
What makes you so sure of that?
Oh, and maybe it is time to stop blaming Blair for all of this - how about Mr Bush having to take some of the crap?
For Tony Blair, this is all pretty recent - how long has he been in power? We all kept voting for him then - so what changed? Are you telling me that you want Maggie Thatcher (or worse, John Major) back?????

I agree, but Tony Blair is too scared to do anything else. If he distances himself from Bush he will feel that everything he has been involved in was because he was told to do it. I personally believe that Cherie holds the real power in that house! If Denis Thatcher had refused to bow to the Queen Maggie would have given him a swift right hook! Cherie doesn't curtsy but whenever Tony Blair is asked about this he goes red and ignores the question!

If you think the policies of Blair and Bush have brought chaos, death, and devastation, then you ain't seen nothin' yet. We could elect Kerry, or Feingold. If we do, get yourself a short legged stool, sit down, put your head between your legs, and kiss your *** goodbye.

No I don't agree with this, a country as to defend it self as theses diplomatic leaders can start taking over the world.
Each country as to protect its own nation and people.
Think about the 2nd war look what happen germany at that time wanted to take over the world.

Look, the whole problem with this "war" is that we have succumb to terrorism. The only way to combat terrorism is to not let it effect us in any way. Anytime we change something or restrict something because of a terrorist action, they are winning, and will continue to use terrorism against us.
Definition of Terrorism:
1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes.
2. the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization.
3. a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government.
So anytime somebody wants the US to suffer, all they have to do is threaten us, and we will change the way we live our lives.

In the main, yes. The British government just seem to have been following whatever America says rather than deciding for themselves.
Most people think the war in Iraq was for oil - if Sadam had been in charge of some little country in Africa, would America have bothered? No. Even the people in Iraq whom the Americans "liberated" are now fighting against them!
