[Joe Black]

It appears some people are happy, try and guess when the announcement was made.

What is this a graph of, Joe?

[wendigo100]

The BBC website forum is jam-packed with hundreds of people who want rid.

There are a few of the opinion "why should he go - he hasn't killed anyone", but that sums up their understanding of the issue, really.

Oops, sort of assumed people would know its the GBP/USD exchange rate just by looking at it...

The GBP/USD exchange rate.

I thought it was the FTSE index ...

You cant say the same for Blair though ...

Got it. So the pound has strengthened on the news.

Now I'm wondering why that should be so.

Fecks sake dude -- only fecking lia.. statistitians make charts with axis Y not starting at 0 to misrepresent chart.

FFS change from 1.7660 to 1.7700 is 0.2%!

No, I didn't see the poll. I was wading through 50 pages of reader comments. Very busy.

Like Tony English, I bet he keeps his grace and favour mansion, just like last time, and just like previous fallen ministers. Although I believe Robin Cook was finally turfed out of his mansion earlier this year.

Wendigo, to make it easier I've cut out the URL used to vote yes.

Eh? 54,000 may not reflect public opinion?

There have been 1300 comments too. Actually, some of those who say he shouldn't have resigned say he should have been sacked by Blair.
