Didn't see your post before it was edited Roger, but Gary Glitter appears to be a particularly sensitive subject. The trouble is, the public and media take a delight in ridiculing people like him, and digging up the dirt, giving him a high profile. That is obviously why he ends up, rightly or wrongly, being discussed on public forums, and made fun of. He is seen as "fair game".

I did see the post before it was edited, and as before, what is acceptable in company down the pub is entirely different to what is acceptable on a public forum.I honestly thought the lesson would have been learned.

Is he still working?


Has he now shaved his head, bought a pair of metal rimmed glasses, and grown a wispy grey beard? :lol:
