Gary Glitter 3 Months ago  
I'd have more faith in the Parole Board if I could be convinced they saw evidence that GG is still a danger to society rather than fearing the media backlash were they to allow his release.

I doubt he wants to be out.

Where will he go and stay? Vanessa George has a support group in the Midlands but rarely goes out alone. My sister in law has then her around locally. The UK is only tiny but overpopulated. There parts of Europe that Glitter can't go to, he can't be a nomad or live in a trailer park in America. The public travelled miles to Dorchester go to the hostel he was in. The press turned that town in to a media circus along with YouTube so-called Auditors.

I am annoyed, I use to like his records when I was younger, I knew pretty much all his lyrics. The act was terrible and it was cheese on steriods. He was on the bill with a lot of huge bands at the time like Saxon(yuck) and Girl School. I can't believe he pissed it all the way. I have a theory he wanted to get caught.

In a bizarre way I wish a staunch journo could get an interview with no narrative and no interuption. I can imagine Rod Liddle having an interview with GG, whilst puffing away on a cigarette in a prison wing. Just letting GG dig a hole.

I hate it when journos talk over people when they asked a question, in the first place. Emily Maitlis is a joke and is cashing hard on the one Prince Andrew interview. Martin Sheen will do anything for a pay cheque.

Interviews are so different now to the "old days". So often now it is just about the interviewer. Watch old Parkinson - or our host actually on Ent USA - the interviews are actually about the person being interviewed.

Although there is a lot of interesting stuff online/You Tube to access. But that tends to be more niche interviews/events with writers, artists, historians or scientists.

It appeared that he didn't make any efforts to attend any programmes in prison to address his sexual urges. He could have just gone along with what was required, he didn't have to believe in it. With regards to any risk, he hasn't committed any offences in the uk since 1998 when he got caught looking at dodgy pictures. The conviction from 2015 dated back to the 70s and the conviction in Vietnam has to be taken with a pinch of salt.

WHSmiths pull the GG DVD from their site. The DVD has been out for years, I am not a fan of cancel culture. All The Mirror has done now is promote a DVD that will be deleted then it becomes a collectors item, there is a market for rare DVDs and VHS tapes.

If Youtube do pull Remember Me This Way, they will get divert more online traffic to dodgy torrent sites. The Mirror should of kept quiet and I bet GG does not get a penny from any of the DVD sales any way.

The "dirty phone call" where Glitter talks of a "threesome" was actually a screen test for a scripted film, and this context is even made clear in the documentary/video, something of a James Bond spoof, where Glitter then fights three enermy spies who come to caputure him when he hangs up the reciever.

This "outrage" is on a par with the 2001 release of his final studio album "On." Itself indeed now a collectors item too, copies selling recently for £130.

I think the master tapes of that album are with a staunch Glitter fan think they are with Gary Glitter the old fan club team. I have seen Remember Me This Way it seemed to be on the late night TV a lot from memory.

When GG dies there is going to be die hard fans trading online big bucks. The media have started it when they report highest bids for his memorabilia.
