There have been multiplefrontpagearticlesontheBBC, 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.
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.
