I wonder if the British government, by enforcing the Vietnamese verdict, is saying that they now acknowldege the Vietnam legal system as fair and acceptable.

If most people in the UK are honest they will admit that they cannot possibly know whether Gary Glitter was guilty or not. Even if he wass, there is no evidence of him ever snatching a child off the street, so the claim that he is a constant danger is a nonsense. This is scare mongering at it's worst.

Reading through some of the comments on the NotW website I find it of much greater concern that there are people, without any first hand knowledge of the man, calling for Gary Glitter to be executed. People who rush to such a judgement based purely on tabloid spin are the real danger to society. They have learned nothing from the numerous past miscarriages of justice.

Humanity needs to take a good look at itself.

giles2008	I thought some of the comments were completeley hysterical. The woman who has removed her children from school due to the maniac on the loose should surely get a visit from the truant officers. It will probably be your turn again next week JK, Have they done a feature on Vile Pervert yet or are they saving that for the Euro Court case?
Sockit	That was quite the most disgusting newspaper article I've ever read. I had to check several times I wasn't reading some kind of BrassEye spoof - 'girls wearing white socks and school uniform'... The criminals who publish trash like this should be charged with incitement to murder, because that is exactly what it is. Portraying this guy as a subhuman recidivist who deserves no mercy for walking down the street when schoolgirls are also walking down it (wearing white socks) followed by a story that Channel 4 will be making a documentary about whether he deserves to die. But we all know the police can pick and choose which laws they want to uphold now...based on the whims of the Jade Goodey worshiping simian mob and/or the interests of the governing elite. The constant references to Gary committing the 'crime' of talking to 'young' waitresses and 'young' people in the street - presumably in their 20's and 30's. Reminds me of a passage from a Michel Houellebecq novel : 'There was a lot of stuff in the papers about paedophillia that year. It was as if someone had put the word out to them 'You've got to come down hard on the paedophiles'. And all because they hate old people and can't stand the idea of becoming old themselves...'
Innocent Accused	I also tried to post there,mine's not there either.
robbiex	I tried to put a comment on the site, however because the comment was against the NOTW saying what a non-story it was and not a lynch mob rant it was not published. Quel surprise!!
