As you have probably seen Hugh Grant wasn’t much of a giggle on when he was asked question on the red carpet.

This might have caused some waves but his comments about the UK press are biting.

Before we get to that he did cheer up when he compared himself to a scrotum…

Then he appeared on TV show The View and Whoopi Goldberg gifted him with a bottle of moisturiser after the actor made that self-deprecating joke about his skin.

Media

But it was the UK press Hugh Grant wanted to talk about.

He wanted to give the British press a kick up the arse.

He’s right about Brexit and he’s right about the tax avoiding, oversees living press barons who own much of our press and have a malignant effect on our politics. Well said @HackedOffHugh

Hugh Grant made an excellent fictional PM.

This sort of frank honesty is precisely what the party system drains from any contender for the real job.

The closer people get to the top of the greasy pole, the harder it becomes for honesty and integrity to survive.

So depressing.

It’s a relief to hear clarity, authority and warmth. Such a shame UK politics is such a battle ground for power and not for the good of the people. Change to PR may help improve the balance. @HackedOffHugh @getprdone

Totally true. For most of my lifetime a handful of powerful media owners have dictated the political agenda.
I have never understood why it is tolerated, other than that influence is so pernicious that they are even able to suppress the debate.
