A YouTube piece from Herbert Purdy concerning Laura Bates’s repeated lies about the number of women being killed by partners and ex-partners in the UK, followed in the comments section by an interesting – and ridiculous, and hilarious – defence of her doing so, from a particularly silly supporter (‘SweetStrawberryShell’). Her comments have to be read to be believed. Whinin’ Miss Bates – soon to become Whinin’ Mrs Bates, we offer our sincere condolences to her unfortunate fiancé, we have no idea what he did in a former life to deserve such a fate – has an army of silly supporters, as you’d imagine. Enjoy.
