I saw on the news this morning that Qatar airways has refused to return Garry Glitter to the UK. Quite right good on them. I know he is coming back Thai airways anyway and there is no keeping him away but I for one am glad that the airline refused him.

In my opinion he should still be locked up and the key thrown away. The only good thing about him coming back to the UK is that the authorities will be able to monitor him more closely than if he had gone to some other country. The vulnerable need to be protected from this monster.

so Gary Glitter is coming home. One airline (full marks to them) has refused to fly him. What should we do with him? In my opinion, placing him on the sex offenders register and leaving him to live out a peaceful life is too good for him. He should be made to serve the rest of his sentence at the very least albeit in Britain.

Question. Is his music good enough to separate it from the odious man? For instance, although I've never really got the hang of Wagner, I adore Lizst.

Best thing to do with him is place him in a football stadium with lots of Mothers. Then have it live on the telly. Allow the mothers one kick each to his nether regions and see who gets the winning kick(the one that renders him lifeless). They then get a free ticket to Disneyland!!!

That way everybody will be happy, no more gary glitter, we all get to see it happen, mother gets to take her kids to disneyland and it shows paedos what will happen to them in the future and will hopefully save the lives of many children being ruined or worse.

He is not scared to face the media in Britain. He cannot disapear here. He is instantly recognizable and will constantly be monitored here. If he can stay in Asia he is relatively unknown and will be able to carry on with his life the way he wants to: abusing children.

Just an addendum: The UK is no good at placing UK pedophiles who travel to commit their crimes on the offenders register and monitoring their travel. This means that many choose to commit their crimes abroad where it has a slighter risk of affecting their home lives.

Why aren't offenders who are placed on the sex offenders for crimes like this not tagged in some way so that they can be tracked? This might be expensive but in comparison to the human cost in sexual assaults etc it would be worth it?

All sex offenders should not be allowed to travel unless in the case of forced deportation. However I am sure that this will be against their human rights in some way. What about the publics human rights?

I totally agree If this liberal country is dead set against incarcersting these depraved offenders then the very least the should be tagged so that the can be traced to which ever dark hole the decide to live. there are too many people who have been placed on the sex offenders registar that have simply disappeared off the radar.Prevention of one crime is worth the expence.

It's kinda the point of tagging the general public would not need to know but the authorities would be able to keep a close eye on what they are doing and where they go. I'm not in favour of vigilante tactics and dont want to see anyone hounded for what ever reason but I do thing tagging would be a lot better than just letting them go.

When I posted the above it wasn't tagging that I wa refering to.

Tagging is a good idea in principle, but its not that long ago that there was a program on about how easy it was to take the tags off.

I would appear that he will be closely monitored when he arrives back, even as far as daily surveilance - according to the news on just now.

It might sounds sci-fi but how about designing an injectable tracer thingie (a la Bond/Casino Royale). This would be left in for life or as long as the offender stays on the register. This would mean that the offender would need an operation of some kind for its removal.

Now that sounds like a great idea, but no doubt some bliddy do gooder would say it infringed their human rights.

By Nopporn Wong-Anan
BANGKOK (Reuters) - Shamed rocker Gary Glitter was stuck at Bangkok airport on Wednesday after faking illness to avoid boarding a flight to London following his release from a Vietnamese prison for child sex abuse, Thai police said.
The 64-year-old, whose real name is Paul Gadd, flew to Bangkok after being booted out of the communist southeast Asian country on Tuesday, the day he completed his three-year sentence.
He had a connecting flight to London but refused to board the plane, apparently fearful of the hostile media and public reception he is almost certain to receive in Britain, where he has already served jail time for child pornography offences.
Major General Pongdej Chaiprawaj, head of Bangkok airport immigration police, said Glitter had faked an ear condition to avoid boarding. "He claimed to have tinnitus in his ears and declined to board the flight to London," Pongdej told Reuters, adding that Glitter had been declared an "undesirable" and would not be allowed into Thailand.
"He is banned from entering because he was jailed and he could pose a threat to domestic morality," he said. "He is a transit passenger and it is the responsibility of the airline to take him to his final destination."
Glitter, his face shrouded from photographers by a baseball cap and scarf, is now stuck in limbo in a "no man's land" transit lounge called the Louis Tavern. Staff at the Tavern said he was refusing to check out and claiming he was unwell.
Newspapers, who had reporters on Glitter's flight from Vietnam, said he had collapsed in a bedroom at the Tavern, complaining of heart problems and demanding to go to hospital.
Travellers are allowed to spend only 12 hours in transit at the airport before they are deemed to have violated Thai immigration law. It is unclear whether police will use force to put him on a plane.
The next Thai Airways flight to London departs around 1 a.m. on Thursday (7 p.m. British time on Wednesday).
In a prison interview with an official Vietnamese newspaper shortly before his release, Glitter said he wanted to go to Singapore or Hong Kong to revive his music career, although it is very unlikely any Asian country would be prepared to admit him.
He is blacklisted from Cambodia, where he spent several years in hiding before moving quietly to Vietnam.
The tabloid press eventually unearthed him in 2005 in the southern resort town of Vung Tau. He tried to flee, but was arrested at the airport and convicted soon afterwards of having sex with two young girls.
Glitter is best known for his bouffant hairstyle, high heels and "glam rock" 1970s hits such as "Rock and Roll (Parts 1 & 2)", "Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)" and "I'm the Leader of the Gang (I am)".[evil]

I believe they already have one designed. It's made of lead and I believe you find it in certain parts of the ocean as it comes in a shell. It uses a self contained explosive propulsion system to inject it at very high speed. I'm not 100% percent sure of the name, French I think. It's something like a "boule et" or similar. Guaranteed that any sex offender injected with it will come to the notice of the authorities.............not to mention requiring an operation to remove it.

It said on the news tonight that there are 30000 people on the sex offender's register and only 5 of them are banned from travelling abroad. That can't be right can it? I know there is a diversity of offenders on the register but I would have thought there would be more stringent controls than that!!!
Anyway, that horror Glitter is off to Hong Kong, where they allegedly welcomed him with open arms.... He's supposed to be planning a come back.

I'm inclined to think that it is about time the sex offenders register was sorted out and only those who are a danger to children are on it.....then maybe there is a small chance that there will be enough resources to police them.

I'm afraid that I do not believe that the likes of the seventeen year old having sex with a consenting fifteen year old girlfriend should be on it, regardless of the umbrage of the parents.

And frankly, I could care less about eejits who have sex with bikes!

I agree with you on that one. The register is bogged down with people having sex with defenseless objects etc!. If it was purely for dangerous people(and also a secondary register for minor offences like sex with bikes etc) then it wouldnt be so clogged up and would be alot easier for the police etc to "police". As it is it needs changing so that it can be utilised correctly by those that need to use it.

Yes I agree it is a pity that there are not two registers, however It is very difficult as I dont believe in the case of two kids such as a 17 year old and a 15 year old consenting should they be put on the list, may be a good telling off but to brand the boy a sex offender is very harsh.
It makes a mockery of the real problems, boys dont understand the risk of a quick fling.
