A lot of people I know are still apparently of the belief that, on the basis of what they have read in the news over the past days, weeks and years, they know whether or not Amanda Knox was guilty. Some people are saying "So if you're pretty and American you can get away with murder, it seems!". Others are saying "It was clear she didn't do it from the start!".
Let's be clear: we do not know the full facts of this case. So it is plain wrong, logically wrong, to speculate about it.
I hope the Kercher family gets some closure soon.

Trees with 'No to AV' written on them
I don't have much time to blog today - I've got too much admin to do - but I want to get this off my chest.
Does anyone honestly think that drawing a cartoon of Nick Clegg standing knock-kneed in a forest full of trees which have things like 'LOCAL ELECTIONS' and 'ALTERNATIVE VOTE' written on them is funny?
Does anyone honestly think meteors with 'SOVEREIGN DEBT' written on them hurtling towards dinosaurs with 'MONETARY UNION' written on them is funny?
No?
Then why do papers like the Times and the Telegraph keep on printing the fucking things?
Today's Grauniad has a cartoon of David Cameron and George Osborne dressed up as admirals, standing outside a load of pubs in a street full of empty wheelie bins. Liam Fox is kicking a Royal Navy guy up the arse, and all the pubs are called things like 'The Jolly Rogered' and 'Ye Olde Shameless Gimmick' and 'Ye Old Cynical Stunt'.
You might think "Oh, for fuck's sake", but shamefully, it's one of the better ones around.
