Good news this morning.He may be returned to Vietnam after refusing to board a flight to U.K.That would be some kind of sentence.Perpetually to roam the globe seeing only authorities and airport lounges.I believe that he has quite a sum of money waiting in the U.K.,proceeds of royalty payments.Who on this earth is still playing his crap sounds?

There was a discussion about this on Jeremy Vine's show the other day, and apparently there is a basketbal(?) team in America who play it after they score a point - the man who phoned in was involved in the royalties on this side of the pond. I can't remember the exact figure, but I was staggered as it ran into many, many thousands - enough to live extremely comfortably while never having to work again...

It is a very common song for the crowd at most basketball games, along with Queen's We Will Rock You and a few others. Probably at baseball games too.

So what happened to the idea that he has paid the price, for his wrongdoings ?. I found that his right to privacy has been breached during that flight . What an appalling circus. Nobody is arguing that these type of people don't require supervision. However supervision, and public voyeurism are two distinct things - what we witnessed was media harassment.

Actually, I felt the same, Ionns but thought I'd get the same old people jumping in and attacking me - you are just braver than me. I condemn his heinous crime like everyone else on here but it has indeed turned into a media circus with our news having a feeding frenzy. He has served his time, albeit far too short but this was by a country that turns a blind eye to sex tourism involving minors. I reckon Glitter, his face being so recognisable, will have a terrible time if he returns and well he deserves it. It's the ones we don't know that worries me.

I was not aware of the media frenzy.I do not watch television much nowadays as it bores me.(Apart from Al Jazeera which is 100% factual reporting).I do feel that he should return to U.K.and face the music.No pun intended.

The man is a nonce and shout be put down.
Not just him, all sex offenders of his type.
Not a very liberal view i know, but such beasts like him should just be disposed of.

At the risk of severe criticism,I totally agree.The best place to drop him off would be Alcatraz.Who has the key?

Just aside, if he's being done for anything else, he should be arrested for crimes to beards.
