No One Wants Gary Glitter
-
Artist:
Earlier in the week I sent out a warning to hide your youngsters because rocker turned sex offender Gary Glitter was released from Vietnamese prison, after serving two years and nine months. Glitter was deported from the country and booked on a flight to his native England, where he had also once been imprisoned on child porn charges. "Glitter's not there yet,":http://news.yahoo.com/story//ap/20080821/ap_en_mu/people_gary_glitter though.
Glitter refused to board his originally scheduled flight to the UK Tuesday night, complaining of an earache. (Good! Let him suffer for his ludicrous acts.) Glitter doesn't want to go back to the UK, so he was going to try and stay in Thailand. But Thai customs wouldn't let him into the country, so Glitter flew to Hong Kong. Hong Kong didn't want him either. So, where in the world is Gary Glitter? Back in Thai land where immigration police are still denying his entry into the country because Thai laws barr those convicted of child sex abuse in a foreign country to cross the border. HiS only option is going back to UK. An unidentified spokesperson for the airline told "the AP":http://news.yahoo.com/story//ap/20080821/ap_en_mu/people_gary_glitter that airline left him with the only option to fly to England.

What? That's like Dubya telling the Russians that they were very very naughty for invading a sovereign nation on a trumped-up pretext!
Check out the Don't! Buy! Thai! website, for instance. (It hasn't been updated in years, but it lays out the basics of the situatio.)
Now, things may be better in Thailand, but it still has a very unsavoury reputation, particularly in regard to forced child prostitution...
Couldn't the Thais send him to Australia? That would save GB the hassle of dancing around the Pedophile legal shuffle. I'm sure that GG could find something in the Outback that would suit his deviant lifestyle.
Thanks for the Don't! Buy! Thai! link, Fairport! It's a shame but I LOVE the food...
I wish we treated all child predators the same way..........any chance we can get rid of R. Kelly?
