Punters' reaction to the Great Bigot Hole *
Wednesday afternoon, Labour went from 28/1 against getting an overall majority to 38/1 against. You didn't even need to hear the news of what he'd done!
One thing we punters understand very clearly (and the Electorate generally don't) is that when oddsmakes offer 38/1 against, in an Event where there can be no "tender rides" or even blatant restraining, there is really virtually no hope of success. It seems to me that only theft of ballot boxes on a grand scale, or kidnapping (and more holding to ransom) of the other two leaders could possibly affect the inevitable.
We can all see it.
Apparently, Flash Gordon remains deluded.
....As did Nero whilst Rome burned.
Ah well, it's probably at least another decade before people forget JUST how much of a mess this lot got us into.
AGAIN.

As so often on matters of importance to the betting fraternity, I am indebted to Adonis First for the above-reported pithy comments. Adonis writes occasionally on The Sports Exchange at www.testpunt.ning.com and has his own blogspace whose address I can never remember.
