[–] biscuit@lemdro.id 2 points 3 months ago (1 child) I never said otherwise. Just sick of the double/triple standards and of our media failing us. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ambitiousslab@feddit.uk 3 points 3 months ago (1 child) There have been multiple front page articles on the BBC, Guardian, etc. covering that. There was intense scrutiny on Angela Rayner when she didn't pay council tax as well. To me, a double standard would be not applying the same level of treatment to Polanski. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 point 3 months ago In Rayner's case, big sums of money were at play. The outline was similar, but the magnitude was different. And the media coverage was disproportionate in her case, too. permalink fedilink source parent
