I switched on BBC News 24 to see if there was any more on the terrible news that Bob Woolmer was murdered. For once, all the seemingly paranoid rumours turned out to be true.

Instead of Woolmer I got a lot of adorable pictures of Knut the baby polar bear. It would be one of those 'and finally...' stories except that keeping him at all seems to be highly controversial.

Three posts already this morning! This is displacement activity.

You should have seen him showing off in front of the world's press.

Whether or not he should have been left to die when his mother abandoned him, how could he possibly be destroyed now? It would be like that Philip K. Dick story in which abortion is legal until your child is 12.

Mitch Benn agreed with you on this evening's The Now Show. 'The little bear may be perfectly happy now but he may not be later on so the only thing is to kill him.' Followed by one of his great songs. Later in the show he sang an even better one called Happy Birthday, War which said it all, really.
