I'm a big fan of his music, but he is a very distasteful person whose sexual tastes are dubious to say the least. |

A land where looking at pictures - however distasteful/odious - is a capital crime on a par with rape and murder is a land that has completely lost touch with what realy matters. The fact is the downloading of that stuff is the 'ultimate crime' in that it can be fabricated easily and has been become completely unacceptable within society, therefore anyone of us - guilty or not - could be made to be criminals quite easily.
Glitter's worst mistake - and one too late to rectify now - was not to explain himself when he was released, by saying sorry and leaving it at that he just made himself look like he was sorry only for getting caught. Now that had more to do with his own personal vanity and insecurity perhaps, but Gadd - like many of the pseudo-paedo's we hear about - had a traumatic childhood in and out of care and as in many other cases this is probably where that seed was sown. But, of course, unless he says so now we will never know and he will remain the ultimate media demon - whilst real life murderers like Gerry Adams (Bush & Bliar are two obvious examples) are allowed to bend the rules and are perfectly acceptable |

Good points. The media are determined to turn him into an archetypal paedo hate figure (doesn't help himself with that awful long goatee and the glasses). Even 'quality' newspapers such as the Times and Telegraph have headlines such as 'Glitter to take advantage of NHS', and half the readers posting comments are calling for all the paedos to be killed, nobody seems to mind whether we do or don't have a rational discussion first of what exactly constitutes paedophillia or child sexual abuse.
The only thing we know for sure about Glitter (we can discount the dodgy 3rd world conviction, where there was clear financial incentives), is that he was guilty of downloading child porn. Now he was looking at some nasty stuff, not 17 year olds in thongs, but unfortunately, it seems a lot of Brits share his hobby. I remember reading that BT stated it was blocking half a million visits to CP sites a day or something incredible like that. Probably some of them then make the 'kill all the paedos' comments after they've masturbated to something sick.
The UK really depresses me now. We're so going backwards and who knows where it will lead? This hysteria is all a mask for the fact that we live in a moral vacuum and that most people, even parents, don't give a shit about children anymore. We've raised our children to be wild-like animals who stab each other for looking at each other the wrong way, something that even papers like the Mail were admitting the other week had something to do with the climate of fear that the paedo hysterias generate. The politicians, media and femi-nazis responsible for our society today are as much child abusers as Gary Glitter, whatever he's been accused and 'convicted' of.
I wish such comments as this were more common in the newspapers and on TV. I used to check the BBC news website first thing in the morning, but now I come straight to JK's website.

this isn't about Gray Glitter-it's about the saddest thing that has happened to (once)Great Britain and even more distressing-done by Nu Labour-the party my grandafther and father worked so hard for.
The decimation of the fairness and the perversion of Law & Order in it's truest meaning.
It's been the most odious campaign of villification aimed at one person.
The Yorkshire Ripper or Harold Shipman didn't receive this treatment.
the media's salivating over GG-from the BBC downwards-they all speak alike these days-is a tragedy.
As for GG-he only needs to bide his time. The clamour will die down, apart from the lowest gutter rags rising up to howl should he receive his entitled health treatment and such.
As for his music-people really don't give too hoots about this stuff despite what we are told.
If Jack the Ripper had been able to record melodies and write songs we would still hear them today (if they were good enough).
Never overestimate the capacity of the general public to retain information. |
