But your original post suggested that this was not the case. In
fact, a "not guilty" verdict is a "proof" of innocence in as much
as their innocence is still assumed. This is not the same as saying
that they are_ innocent... very few people are. ;-)

Not so much a proof of innocence as a failure to disprove it, I'd have
said.

No, it's a pun. The etymology of 'scot' in the sense of 'scot-free' is
that it's old English for 'tax', wholly unrelated to the name of the
Irish tribe who invaded Argyle in the 4th Century and are now known as
the Campbells.

Shame. I knew it was too good to be true. ;-)

Hmm, not only is that not my face it's not my telephone number and the
room number isn't exactly helpful! No wonder nobody knows who I am round
here.

Incidentally, on the above group photo there are at least five people
who regularly commute to work by bicycle and a further three who are
keen cyclists otherwise.

Who's PS?

He's a full time road safety campaigner, which I think basically means he's
scrounging off the state. His site wwwdotsafespeeddotorg tries to present
itself as reminding drivers that the speed limit is not necessarily a safe
limit, and one must often go slower; and that speed cameras are evil.

In reality, his agenda is to get speed cameras removed and speed limits
relaxed, so that he can drive around at the "safe speed" of whatever he
feels is "safe".

He is notorious here after unsuccessfully arguing that reducing speed
limits to 12mph wouldn't make any difference to KSIs.

Be fair, that should be "after unsuccessfully arguing that reducing speed
limits to 12mph wouldn't make any difference to KSIs in a hypothetical
situation he said bore no relation reality, making you wonder why he'd
bothered". (He claimed that if you dropped the speed limit to 12mph _and
drivers then no longer ever used their brakes in accidents_ the KSI would
be the same as it is now.)

I don't normally read the Daily Express, but I picked up a copy on the
train yesterday.
The car in question was a Japanese 'grey import' which in Japan is fitted
with a speed limiter. The article said that there was no way the limiter
could be disabled (don't know if that is true/false)

I suppose it could be true in a "limited" sense.

Scots have the rather useful "Not Proven" verdict. In other words - you are
a guilty b*****d, but we can't prove it.

That is what certain sections of the mass media would have one
believe. However, not proven means just that and is no different to
the meaning of the southern not guilty verdict.

In Scotland not guilty really means that the Fiscal rascals have
mounted a malicious prosecution, something they do frequently.
