The wolf again?

Nearly three-quarters of the public believe Tony Blair's foreign policy has made Britain more of a target for terrorists, according to a poll.

Just 1% think the Government's actions in areas such as the Middle East have improved the country's safety, while 72% think they have made Britain more of a target.

The latest Guardian/ICM survey - carried out over the weekend in the aftermath of the alleged terror plot - also suggests voters are suspicious of what ministers tell them about the national security threat.

While a fifth believes the Government is telling the truth about the threat from terrorism, 21% think it has actively exaggerated the danger.

On the other hand (with reference to reality-based educatorMore on The "Bigger Prick Foreign Policy" Theory) most Brits are just amused by Blair’s curious description of his member.
