All that glitters is not gold

I’ve been following the news of Gary Glitter’s antics in the Far East, not out of interest in the singer basically to see what they end up doing with him – I just hope it’s severe.

It’s hard to believe that once Mr Glitter (real name Paul Gadd) was a national icon and had sold 18 million records by 1975. He was the original comeback kid having been bankrupt several times he always managed to resurface and take his show back on the road, in his latter years he appealed to students who liked the camp image for its irony.

Now of course any image he had is tarnished forever by his sick actions.

Having had several holidays in the Far East I know they don’t generally mess about too much with criminals and the penalties are harsh, in fact we should adopt some of their no nonsense ideas over here – and with that I don’t mean going around killing people!

I don’t think it will be long before we hear about the demise of Mr Glitter and the world will be safer from his unsavoury behaviour.

The latest news is that he’s applied for residency in Vietnam and he’s denied any wrong doing at all, in fact he claims he was teaching young girls English!

The reality of course is far different and sinister, recent news stories tell of him molesting a young waitress in a bar, which was seen by all, he was ejected after by the English bar owner and also a 15 year girl being found in his apartment, the list goes on but I don’t really want to go into it. It’s a catalogue of shame and also reflects badly on the English people who flock to this area of the world in their tens of thousands each year. Let’s hope Mr Glitter stumbles into one of the land mined area’s out there and goes kaboom.
