Topic History of: Gary Glitter

Andy	BBC4 showed the Gary Glitter performance in the unedited edition of Top of the Pops at 12.25am last night (he was not in the earlier 7.30pm edition, but that often has acts removed to fit in the time slot). Good to see they stuck to their guns and didn't back down to the tabloids. Shame it was a poor song, but at least it was a useful precedent, and I hope this new policy continues.
veritas	......"The tabloids have turned something that has been part of men's nature and evolution for centuries into an unforgivable evil." while at the same time encouraging men to ogle at nudie teen girls on Page 3 and speculating about Justin Bieber's sex life and so on. Private Eye don't call it the Street Of Shame or their favourite hack Glenda Slagg for no reason .
TED	Great article, Chris. People like to condemn others because it makes them feel superior. They need to create villains in order to make themselves righteous. The fact that is being denied nowadays is that is is normal for heterosexual men to like young teen girls. Older men with much younger wives is what has been part of the norm throughout history. Today women buy products that are suppose to make them look younger because they know that aging makes them less desirable to men. The tabloids have turned something that has been part of men's nature and evolution for centuries into an unforgivable evil.
Innocent Accused	Derek Longmuir was found guilty of CP on his comp...Pete Townsend admitted to CP on his,but was not charged...and didn't one of the Peter Paul & Mary gang have a bit of trouble in that area? So why is it only Glitter?...Answers on the back of an old copy of the NOTW please
veritas	aporpros GG being 'banned' from the media...although apparently The Mirror is exempt from this 'ban' as in this photo of GG performing : www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2011/1...ted-115875-23588741/ ...so it's a partial ban..and by which government authority ?... ....and this statement.. "...officers said he was “unable to help himself when given freedom around children”. oh really ? yet he was able to "help himself" up until Vietnam (questionable conviction that I am sure will unravel at some stage)...and after. This is something Leveson should be investigating...the ability of tabloids to print sheer utter bullshit that affects thousands of lives by shaping public thought (a scapegoat like GG is soooo useful) and being unaccountable..(although Leveson actually said there should be a libel tribunal). sadly..I think the Leveson Inquiry will go nowhere...like all the other ones.
