Deal with sex pest
HOLLYWOOD sexual predator Harvey Weinstein could have been on his way to a police cell by now if he weren’t famous.
We must ensure that this sleazebag isn’t allowed to use his wealth and power to escape justice.
The painful testimony of British actor Kate Beckinsale, detailing how the movie mogul tried to ply her with alcohol and prey on her at just 17, is the latest in a string of distressing allegations.
British police are under an obligation to probe every claim of abuse in this country by the human octopus with wandering tentacles.
The honorary CBE he holds must be withdrawn. Every day he keeps it is an insult to the community champions and exceptional Brits who deserve recognition.
Weinstein is a slimy reminder of how power corrupts – and how absolute power in Hollywood corrupts absolutely.
