A MORI poll, released today by Greenpeace, has found that the British people believe that oil rather than humanitarian issues is the main reason for President Bush going to war with Iraq.

Responding (unprompted) to the question 'What do you think is the main reason or reasons for President Bush going to war with Iraq?' the most common response was 'to protect US oil supply/control Iraqi oilfields' (32%).

Weeks of confusion and amusement for commuters and tube bosses came to an end today as the perpetrators of an anti-Esso guerrilla advertising campaign admitted responsibility. Thousands of spoof 'poems on the underground' posters attacking George Bush and oil giant Esso have been appearing on the Northern, District, Metropolitan, Hammersmith and City and Bakerloo lines. Esso are known to be furious, while London Underground controllers were perplexed.

New figures released today show that the boycott of Esso petrol is hitting the oil giant at the pump. The news comes as the company stands accused of sabotaging a deal at the Earth Summit to deliver renewable energy to the world's poorest regions.

Polling by MORI Social Research Institute shows the number of petrol buyers who say they regularly buy their petrol from Esso has fallen by around a quarter in a year, while more than one million motorists say they are boycotting Esso because of their stance on global warming.
