This slogan was written across placards at a demonstration in Italy at the weekend. The women holding the placards were demanding that Silvio Berlusconi stand down. This was before the Italian Prime Minister was charged today with having sex with an underage prostitute.
Now clearly we can't get into Mr Berlusconi's guilt or innocence as that's for the court to decide and for us to steer clear of. We can simply state that he has not been convicted of anything.
What we can discuss though whether he should resign. In many countries, simply the allegation would be enough to see a leader leave office. Do you think Silvio Berlusconi should go? And I'm also interested to know if you would want your leader to resign if he or she faced a similar allegation?
Maybe you think 'innocent until proven guilty' is the only thing that matters here.
