LONDON, July 19: Two-thirds of Britons believe Prime Minister Tony Blair bears a share of the responsibility for the suicide bombings in London, according to a poll published on Tuesday. The ICM poll for The Guardian newspaper asked people to what extent Mr Blair’s decision to join the invasion of Iraq was responsible for the July 7 bombings that killed 56 people.
Thirty-three per cent said the prime minister bore a lot of responsibility, 31 per cent thought he had a little responsibility, and 28 per cent thought he was blameless. ICM interviewed 1,005 adults by telephone between July 15 and 17. The poll had a margin of error of 3 percentage points.—APP
