Wogan - Radio2 9am this morning

[celticpilgrim]

Right, picture the scene, the 9 o'clock news includes a reasonably substantive piece anbout the fact that Gary Glitter got 3 years in Vietnam for kiddie fiddling, and that when he is deported, he will have to be put on the sex offenders list. Ok so far, says I..

2 records later what are they playing....Manfred Man's version of Just like a woman!!!! Is it me, or should somenbody at radio 2 have spotted this irony?

Oh yes, GG recons it's all a conspiracy, and that the tabloids are stitching him up - dirty ba*t*rd!!!

[nervous]

youre right: they should have played 'im the paedo of the gang i am'. at least that way he'd have some royalties to look forward to on his release.

new definition of pathos: gary glitter was ryhming slang for arse before we knew all this.

[off_again]

Hang on - how about this for facts:

1) Convicted of sex crimes in the UK - served half of his sentence - on sex offenders list - left country
2) Moved to Cambodia - lots of rumours etc - government deported him for more sex crimes - not convicted
3) Convicted in Thailand - to serve a prison sentence

Now, cast me out among the great unwashed public - but does anyone really think he is innocent as he says?

Pass me the stones I say....
