Why all this celebrity support for Polanski when nobody jumped to the defence of Gary Glitter?

What has Roman got that Gary hasn't?

No-one plays Gary's music anymore, but Polanski is still in work. At the time of his arrest he was preparing a movie about Tony Blair.
 
I don't get it, I really don't.

It's simple. Gary Glitter is fat, ugly and working class; Roman Polanski isn't. Classism and lookism, if there is such a word. (It's the last big untouched "ism" but probably one of the most potent)

What about Chris Langham- the very fine comedy actor who did a little "research" into child pornography and is now a non-person?

Pete Townsend did some very similar "research"- and got away with it.

I don't know a lot about either of them, to be honest, so I couldn't say what distinguishes the two...
