Polanski Scandal

As the debate rages over whether Roman Polanski should be bought to book over his raping of a child back in 1977, where he did actually plead guilty. I saw this printed in a newspaper and thought it summed up the situation perfectly.

“You rape someone — you go to jail  If you rape someone, and then flee the country, you get even more jail time. [Polanski] was into his forties by this point, and that not only makes him an adult, but someone who was extremely aware of the consequences of his actions. Time to pay. It’s that simple.”

The bleeding hearts looking to get him freed should read the above then ask themselves if they would feel the same if it had been their daughter.

It was not just a case of simply having sex the charges read like this “Committing a lewd act upon a person less than 14, rape of a minor, rape by use of a drug, oral copulation, and sodomy”.

I believe the US will try to prosecute him the alternative is to concede that there are 2 sets of laws in place one for the rich and famous and another set for the rest.

Katie Price

Katie Price or Jordan or whatever she is calling herself this week should be ashamed of herself using rape as a means to keep her self on the front pages, first by claiming to have been raped and then by now saying she wont discuss it and will not name her attacker she is trivialising what is a terrible crime carried out  on women daily.

I personally don’t believe there is any truth in the allegation anyway,  she has had to date three biography’s published and she has never mentioned or even hinted at a rape before, though she did mention being sexually assaulted in a park when she was six.

What is particularly dangerous about this allegation is that people are already bandying  about 3/4 names on the internet of who they believe her “attacker” could be, even assuming that her charge was true and the attacker was one of the four names, three of these are having their names sullied by this woman. And human nature being what it is some people will say there is no smoke without fire even though there is nothing to substantiate her claim.

Katie/Jordan is to cute an operator with the press to not realise what her statement would do, if this is not another cynical attempt to keep her pathetic self on the front pages then she should come clean, after all when you are raped who do you tell first the Press or the Police, there must be a law somewhere that can be bought into effect to force her to name the individual thus making sure he is rightly punished, if its true and she has kept quite maybe this person has done it to others and continues to do it today.

Whatever way it goes she has guaranteed herself the front pages for a while. what next  for her we have already had the split, the miscarriage, the new boyfriend,  the divorce  and now the rape, she is running out of story’s, I hope the next one is alien abduction and lets hope that one is true.

A Fate Worse Than Death

I keep seeing and hearing reports in the press that finding Jaycee Lee Dugard the young American girl who had been kidnapped and held for 18 years gives hope to the McCann family that Madeline may be alive and in the same position and could eventually turn up.

Well excuse me but how could knowing that your 4 year old daughter has been taken by a 50 year old paedophile, who plans to rape her continuously, and in any disgusting way he likes for the next 18 years, keep her in squalor, have a couple of  kids with her, possibly be of any comfort to a parent.

In an earlier piece I said that I was hopeful that Madeline could one day appear with a story to tell, I did not mean a story like this, more along the lines that a childless couple perhaps misguidedly be keeping her and bringing her up as their own.

Under Jaycee Lee Dugard’s  circumstances as horrible as it is to say, Madeline would be better of dead.

Roman Polanski

Roman Polanski the film director is being held in custody in Switzerland on an outstanding arrest warrant that was issued some 30 years ago.

Polanski was accused of rape in 1977 after photographing a teenager during a modelling session. The girl said Polanski plied her with champagne and part of a Quaalude sedative pill at Jack Nicholson’s house.

Polanski was allowed to plead guilty to one of six charges, unlawful sexual intercourse, and was sent to prison for 42 days of evaluation. Lawyers agreed that would be his full sentence, but the judge tried to renege on the plea bargain.

Since then he has been on the run though he has travelled freely throughout Europe in that time. for some reason that I don’t fully understand there appears to be a lot of sympathy for Polanski as if he has been hard done by, though he does not deny having sex with a 13 year old.

Bernard Kouchner, the French Foreign Minister, revealed that he had written to Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, to call for the release of the director. I know they do things a little different in France but surely they recognise his crime, for the French foreign Minister to intervene like this is a disgrace.

Unless I am missing something major here Polanski is a paedophile and only escaped a long prison sentence because he absconded, I don’t see or know of any reason that he should be pardoned just because 30 years has expired, as far as I am aware there is no statute of limitations on crimes of this nature.

It will be fascinating to see how this story develops.

Election Debate Conclusion

Having now seen the rest of last nights live election debate, it has served to reinforce my belief that David Cameron is the only real option come May 6th, Gordon Brown did not perform particularly badly last night but as well as he could perform you would still put the last 13 years down to Labour, and who wants 5 more years of the same.

It was particularly galling listening to him claiming that our armed forces were so well equipped and that Senior military commanders had told him it was the best they had ever had it, when all we the public seem to see in the media is soldiers and officers alike crying out for more equipment.

Clegg you could pick out of a line up as a liberal, his wishy washy ways are not suited to running a Country, for heavens sake in the worst period of the World’s history where Rogue nations are  trying to develop nuclear capabilities and by capability we all know it means weapons, Clegg wants us to give up our nuclear deterrent,,

I had to laugh at his proposal for criminals to stand in front of their victims and apologise, I’m sure rape victims are happy about that one,  incidentally I wonder how long a day he spends in front of the mirror practising his ridiculously theatrical hand movements.

I stand by my assertion that Cameron is the only viable choice at the moment, he talks a lot of sense, don’t be put of by his “toff” look, of the three candidates he is the closest to the man on the street.
