Eclectic Odds

The campaign's perceived dullness doesn't mean that some aren't having fun, the bookies in particular. On the day of wee Donald Kennedy's birth, ladbrokes immediately (and cheekily) put the odds of him becoming Prime Minister on May 5th as equivalent to his father - 100 to 1.

Meanwhile, the odds on Deputy PM John Prescott punching someone during the campaign are set at an insanely low 5 to 1! That's because of this incident from the last election in 2001. Gotta love a scrapper.
