I think he was whingeing about how Weinstein et al were being caught.
How it wasn't fair on wealthy people or something.

Hmph. If we reject everyone who ever said something a bit dodgy, we'd have no artists left
- I mean, fuck Weinstein and his deformed cock, and fuck Spacey too, but it's still worth commenting that it's been sort of weird the way we've just hanged the fuckers without trial.

I haven't really followed it.
An improvement over 'pretend it's not happening' and blame victims 'for causing trouble' though.

Oh god, yeah. Much better.
I often think a decent benchmark for public figures' guilt is that they never attempt to sue for libel.
It's super easy to destroy someone on a libel case in the UK, and it only needs to have been printed in the UK for it to apply.

It's a good test of guilt, if the person can afford it.
Most people would be insane to defend a libel action without large amounts of cash.

You could really boost your case by saying you would pay the legal costs of the defendant if they lost.
"This isn't about money, it's about my reputation."
God, I'm a fucking genius. I've fixed the world! I should go into spin doctoring or something.

Sorry, I was a bit glib there.
I'm very comfortable seperating the work from the man, god knows there wouldn't be much to like if I didn't.
