Blair worried - he should be!

Whilst I do not normally talk of political betting (although I indulge, when I go with my head I win a fair bit, when I go with my heart I lose a fair bit!) news reaches me from www.politicalbetting.com that the market on Blair to be arrested this year has opened.

William Hill opened at 10/1 but the odds have now settled at 6/1. Apparently Kelvin MacKenzie (the Sun journalist) has staked £1,000.

Also this week politicalbetting this week had a thread on how to avoid the betting the Liberal Democrats at the by-election. Birmingham Hodge Hill is mentioned a few times, oddly sometimes as a good example of a Labour victory! You may it interested in the thread (I posted on it), you can see it at http://politicalbetting.com/index.php/archives/2006/07/19/how-to-avoid-lib-dem-by-election-batterings/
