I was somewhat distressed by the story of 22 year old Richard Tailby getting beaten up by three women in Grimsby. Not so much because of his fairly minor injuries, but the evidence it provides for how our society has changed.

Vanessa Delaney, 38, Claire Edwards, 25, and Sally Pawson, 24, had mistaken Mr Tailby for someone who had wolf-whistled at them and so they chased him to a car park.

Edwards grabbed the innocent victim in a headlock as the trio knocked him to the ground in a hail of punches and kicks, Grimsby Magistrates Court heard yesterday.

During the attack the three women screamed: ‘All men are stupid!’

Looking at the pictures of the women on the Mail’s website, I can understand why he would have wanted to run away. But why have these women morphed into vicious, drunken, feral-looking, gender-neutral creatures?

Where did they learn that “All men are stupid”? Harriet Harman? Or the constant attacks on manhood and fatherhood in the name of ‘equality’ and ‘diversity’?

If they learned anything at school, was it that Christian goodness can now be dispensed with, that living in sin with anyone and everyone is just as valid a ‘lifestyle’ as getting married and that they have a right to live off benefits? (Young Claire has a job.)

Grimsby magistrate Mike Corry said: ‘This was a totally unnecessary attack. You were like a pack of animals chasing its prey.

But foxy ladies, they ain’t. Sad story.
