Broon Watch
Bloomsbury now has a fixed date, and a cover for Broon's tie in with the leadership contest / coronation thoroughly worthwhile and wholly unpolitical book, 'The Courage of Heroes', as discussed previously.
And the date, people, is 4th of June. Which co-incides with the suicide of Emily Davidson, Socialist Léon Blum becoming French Prime Minister, the crushing of the Tianamen Square protest and a military coup in Argentina. Still, it is also Angelina Jolie's birthday, and the anniversary of Heydrich's assassination, so it isn't all ecce equus pallidus.
Meanwhile, Blair Switch April-June is trading at 3.05/3.2 on Betfair.

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
A female socialist betting-manager friend of mine has always observed that Emily Davison (note the spelling, not Davidson) managed to mess up a perfectly good race meeting. She doesn't get any sympathy from us. Why couldn't she have disrupted a football match instead?
Everyone who had money on the race - especially on "Amner" would have been furious.
There is also a good question as to whether she actually intended to kill herself. She did, for example, buy a return rail ticket.
Yes dale has something telling up on this to. Terific stuff C you are a top rootler and rifler I think we pretty much know where we stand now .
In fact the continued presence of Blair is becoming a nonsense with Cameron literally talking though him.
Sounds a bit like "Profiles in Courage" which some hack ghost-wrote for John F Kennedy. You don't think.....?
"the hitch"@ 4;51 is a clone
A sad no life person who would love to be me.
the infamy of fame Hitch. I should be lucy to never suffer such a thing.
My blogclock has Blair leaving in less than 60 days; 10 long years nearly up...
I've deleted the 4.51 post as it wasn't THE Hitch. Whoever it was should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
Geoff - I drop money on the nags, so yes, absolutely.
DM - yup, I'd followed that skunk trail in the original post...
I have a fiver riding on Blair Switch Apr-Jun '07 from a lucky guess almost a couple of years ago. I got 9.8 then....
The joys of the spread!
C: I also happen to live with her, so as she is an unrepentant socialist it makes for very interesting dinner parties when we have guests around.
On a trivial point - there used to be a racecourse here in Gibraltar but the unpleasantness in 1939 meant that the MOD concreted it over and turned it into an airport.
Grumble. I'm sure we would have won regardless.
She might be a socialist but we pay the mortgage on her racing tips though so she can't be entirely daft.
Going out with me doesn't count.
Geoff - sounds like a useful lady to have around, dodgy politics to one side. I've only ever been involved with lefties or the apolitical, alas.
Any hot tips will be gratefully received....
