I agree with Piers - we need to get on their shit about this...

 This is an editorial he wrote yesterday...  

 

“Hollywood,” said Marilyn Monroe, “is a place where they pay you $1000 for a kiss but 50 cents for your soul.”

'There are few better illustrations of Tinsel Town’s warped morality than the shocking case of acclaimed film director Roman Polanski who was 44 when he drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl. 

He admitted unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor but before he received his full sentence, he fled America in 1978 and has never returned to face justice for his despicable crime.'  

'Now, given Hollywood’s current fit of faux-indignant moral rage over Will Smith’s slap to Chris Rock’s face, and its frantic effort to cancel him off the face of the acting planet, you might assume that it reacted with far greater fury and disgust to someone who abused and sodomized a young girl after plying her with quaaludes. But you would be wrong.

Instead, Hollywood carried on hiring Polanski to direct movies from his European exile, and in 2003, it awarded him the Oscar for Best Director at the Academy Awards for his work on The Pianist. Of course, he wasn’t there to receive it in person, or he would have been arrested and sent to prison to serve his sentence.'
