Where on Earth do you start?

So, it’s been a couple of days now since the Crevice trial verdict and I still haven’t written a post on it. Which, given the past history of this blog, could be considered unusual.

The truth is that the media reaction and the spin being pumped out in the wake of the Crevice verdict is so voluminous and so all encompassing in its insanity I’m frankly left speechless.

Postman Patel has had a couple of stabs at the task but he is just one of a handful of lonely voices pleading for some sanity. And we really are talking only a handful here.

...it's that, or migrating to an island somewhere

Answer B methinks
