Time's up......took some time.....


So the Time up campaign, which is a campaign against all the sexual harassment in Hollywood. This is after a number of high profile men have been accused of using their power to get their own way with their sexual satisfaction. No body man or woman, show abuse their power to get the ro own way - including to get their rocks off.

I fully support this and agree with this but my issue is where have all these people been? I get that if you are a low profile person trying to break into the business then if you broke your silence you would not get a job in the industry. That has been accepted. So then all those people that would listen to them or give them a job or guilty by implication.

I recently saw Oprah doing a presidential speech saying this it the end no more etc etc. But here is, or was, the most powerful person in USA TV and if everyone knew about it she must have then she would have had the power to blow it open but didn't. So rather than trying to give a liberating speech on the issue she, and others should be saying sorry for not using their power to blow the lid on it.

But this campaign should not just be about Hollywood it should be about All work places and organisations.So let's all say well done to the real people that blew the lid and got their voices heard because had Hollywood and Howard's mates thrown him to the kerb a long time ago then there would be less victims.

The only person I think is remorseful from their actions is Howard's friend is  Quentin Tarantino who has said he is sorry he didn't speak out earlier. Where are others that need to say sorry - like the whole of Hollywood  if they knew about it.
