Thread should be renamed, 'Gary Glitters ordeal begins today'

Yea I suppose Glitter in his heyday, looked a little like a glam version of Ronald Macdonald, so the girls came running to Granpappy Glitter for comfort!

We must want him back - the authorities/media made sure he came here and nowhere else. Even the Home Secretary thought she could jusm on the bandwagon and divert attention from other more serious matters. Nobody cares much about the 80 women/children killed by US airstrikes in Afghanistan, but GG is to priority - the hysteria surrounding him is out of all proportion.

Very good comment about moderation.
All I can say about Glitter is as an everyday sort of guy, who used to live around the corner from me, he came across as a very nice person and was very polite.
HOWEVER
AS for his sexual turn on's, then I think for our childrens protection
all convicted peado's, should be placed in concentration camps on an island
away from the temptations placed before them.
Along with murderers and habitual criminals.
Let them live off the land or starve.
It would cut down the amount of tax payers money being spent looking after these people.
You would only need a patrol boat or two

How does anyone like a judge try to look at this guy and this case objectively?

I think youd need more than a few concentration camps for peados Dean. i suspect ther eismore of them than we can even imagine circulating around in town, cities and villages and I dont think al of them are that obvious to spot.

I saw a map on the Net somewhere where police had tracked kiddie porn downloads by town- it being impossible to trace by person because of the sheer number of locations.

I seem to remember only Alnwick and Keswick being the towns in England with above 2,000 population and no downloads.

In short- they are everywhere.
