He's (nearly) back, He's (nearly) back, He's (not) on the right track

"Glitter, 64, was free to travel because the Home Office issued him with a new passport in November while he was in a Vietnamese jail for abusing two girls aged 11 and 12."

It beggars belief! I hope the Home Office minister is going to resign over this monumental cock-up!

I prefer to believe the facts rather than an old friend of his who used to ply the kids with whiskey before they met JK.

I guess we'll have to agree to differ.

I agree to no such thing!

Update to the following Link: Glitter has been refused entry to Hong Kong. He Travelled to Hong Kong after refusing to board a plane for the UK.
Hong Kong Authorities have sent him back to Thailand where Thai Authorities say he will be physically forced to board a plane to the UK if Necessary.

Apparently Glitter does not want to return to the UK because his passport will be seized and he will have to endure lifestyle restrictions.

well-deserved abuse.

According to Jonathan King himself he's not a paedophile, because according to some obscure definition that would involve having sex with a child under 14, and he says he never did. Which implies that he had sex with children between 14 and 16. That's sufficient to be grouped in with people like Gary Glitter IMHO. Sorry if you don't agree.

Apology accepted. I don't quite agree.

My view is that at 16 years - 1 day, it's statutory rape . As the girl get's younger, it shades into child abuse, and as they get younger still it becomes paedophilia.

Given that I find the idea of 30+ year old men going around with girls much under 20, generally pretty pervy, I consider statutory rape, child abuse and paedophilia vile and abusive crimes. But I wouldn't say that a man who has sex with a 15 year old, necessarily is a paedo. Though he should still have his knackers removed, possibly with a couple of bricks.

( Would an 18 year old having sex with a 15 year old be consider paedophilia? I frankly doubt it.)

And the less said about Spain, the better!

Where's Glitter today? I've lost track of this farcical jaunt around Asia - is he back in Thailand now?

I don't think he's got there yet. It'll be a very short stopover when he does

Thai authorities said he would fly to London later. They said he had been told no other country would take him.
