Generally speaking, if there has been a miscarriage of justice, the person who has unfairly been imprisoned will receive a lot of sympathy. This, to put it mildly, is not the case with Ched Evans, who was found not guilty of rape at his retrial on Friday.

So convinced was the jury that Evans had not had sex with a waitress without her consent that they took a little over two hours, barring sandwiches, to return their unanimous verdict.

An online feminist lynch mob – and even Gloria Hunniford on ITV’s Loose Women – have chosen to ignore that decision, with possible libel actions to follow. They seem to think that “not guilty” doesn’t mean that Evans, who served two and a half years in jail, is off the hook, despite what the Court of Appeal says. Right. I mean, what would they know?
