It provides clear evidence that there has been a significant change in the mood of the country towards the war and explains why ministers have spent the last weekend trying to shore up public opinion and why the prime minister is to appeal to the nation to "keep its nerve" in a major speech today.
Further evidence that it is a humanitarian inspired wobble in public opinion rather than outright opposition to the war is shown by the results to the question on attitudes towards sending British troops into Afghanistan to take part in the fighting on the ground.

 The Daily Ablution: "What Do They Want?"
As the Stop the War Coalition and their sundry supporters prepare to take to the streets today, I find myself asking: "What do they actually want?" Their demands are often incoherent, but I have in the past detected some common threads.
I think that the protesters want to follow fashionable empty slogans, because it's "cool." They want to express an unthinking rebelliousness that is understandable in an adolescent, but ignorant in an adult.
The "antiwar" protests in Britain is organized by a shadowy group called "Stop the War Coalition," part of the Hate-America-International, which has orchestrated a number of street "events" in support of the Taliban and the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein since 2001.
