We've all poured over the facts, half truths and outright lies regarding this case, presented on this forum and elsewhere.
A common phrase which is often typed with exasperation into a forum reply is "I can't understand why you can't see that", which is often preceded by a document or image which a person believes beyond doubt proves their take on a particular issue to be the correct and accurate one.
I've come to the conclusion that there are intelligent people on both sides of the argument, there isn't an intellectual divide, so it can't be the case that somebody doesn't agree with somebody else because one person has the intelligence to see the truth and the other doesn't.
So what is it?
I've witnessed over the last year or so a clear divide on peoples opinions of the police, the courts, judges, the CCRC and in fact nearly all aspects of the state.
The clear divide is that those who believe Jeremy to be innocent, generally have a poor opinion of these groups (for want of a better word) and see them as undesirable or even harmful, they are often very emotional about their view although that emotion often manifests itself in a negative or critical way.
Then there are those who believe in Jeremy's guilt, who generally have a good opinion of the police, courts, judges, the CCRC etc, they also seem to be more willing to support and accept the actions and decisions of these groups, and less able to accept criticism of them.
That's a very loose and by no means exclusive description, with various extremes and exceptions within each camp.
Some people may have guessed where I'm going with this by now, but the description above of the two camps, seems to quite neatly fit into two opposing political spectrums, a left (Camp Innocent) and a right (Camp Guilty), with the fence sitters propping up the centre.
I often wonder if the same group of people on this forum were tasked with discussing another, but equally emotive subject, whether the divides would be identical.

Sorry, just random musings whilst it was quiet. 
The Dingle peninsula, County Kerry, where the non Essex side if my family come from.
You're not going to like this, Dingleberry, but I guess this means we're family, you and I.
There really isn't any great divide, you're my long lost cousin...
