SIR – I have genuine sympathy for anyone who suffers an injustice that they know will never get remedied for lack of evidence, but Britain is descending into a re-run of the Inquisition now that it seems to be open season on all the males in society.

We have become a sort of ‘Woman’s Hour’ dictatorship where any hope of a fair trial is gradually being eroded by well-intentioned but crazy feminist zealots.

Now that one of the few growth industries is the legal profession we have packs of lawyers and journalists roaming around drumming up ever more preposterous causes to champion at enormous public expense.

We know very well why there aren’t many rape convictions. There are seldom any independent witnesses to the alleged crime and so natural justice has to be thrown out of the picture if convictions are to be increased.

I would guess that if there was a crime regularly committed by women that relied on the verbal evidence of men for convictions our witchhunting chums in the liberal media would go berserk about it.

How many more prisons full of people do we want?
