Gary Glitter

[Phantom 2,535]

 

This may be controversial but I still think Gary Glitters contribution to the 1970s glam rock culture can never be taken away from him no matter what he may have dione since

 

A skilfully hurled match into this veritable tinder box of a thread. I'd raise you that point by adding that Glitter's infamy has totally fucked over the massive respect due to Mike Leander who honed the twin drum glam rock sound that made Glitter's records such corkers. Oh aye, and he ranks amongst the ten best gigs I ever saw (caught him on the comeback trail well after his glam fame - still a real showman).

 

Utter twat as a human being, mind, and I'll lose no sleep if I ever cash in dead pool points on the man.

 

I'll admit that seeing Glitter in the late 80s was probably one of the best gigs that I had seen, both for entertainment and value for money. But saying that I've still never been compelled to go out any buy any of his albums.

Jailed for 16 years.

Just wondering if '16 years' is a subtle hint from the judge...

So 16 years is about right for those crimes alone. Think I might send him a Palm Olive gift pack.

IMHO the only albums worth having would be one of the many greatest hits packages out there. He wasn't exactly an albums artist!

I usually avoid "Greatest Hits" or "Best of" albums, usually because it's the same tracks that I'd have heard on the radio. I'm always curious to hear the other tracks, but with Glitter I've not even bothered to buy a Greatest Hits album

Even Radio 4 suggested that he might die in prison. Pick a year between now and 2023.

After all those years I feel less guilty about the fact that I shoplifted School's Out. That act probably hurt the shopkeeper more than Glitter, but hey, that's how crime turns into virtue.

The only people who will be convicted for historical offences against children are those without power and influence. You will not see any retired senior politicians being convicted or even tried at court.

The reason being, they know too much to be allowed to ever appear in court and the possibility of them naming names is unacceptable to the establishment. These convictions of minor celebrities from the entertainment industry are a side show designed to distract public attention from the abuses of the people in power.

"The home of former Conservative MP Harvey Proctor has been searched by police investigating historical allegations of child abuse."

OK he wasn't senior but I reckon a few people wouldn't like to see him in court.

[Youwanticewiththat 611]

I caught the interview with Mr Proctor on Radio 4 this morning. Leon Britain came to mind, mayhap erroneously, when he suggested the difficulty resolving historic abuse cases, especially vis. Dolphin Square, as the alleged perpetrators were 'dying off'.

Aye, such as I understand it Harvey is a minor player in this. He pleaded guilty back in the day but his "crime" would have been no crime today because the age of gay consent is down to 16. Whether Harvey was remotely close to the kind of secret cabal being suggested in these allegations isn't clear. Might just be that he's a known and likely suspect. He sounded more pissed off than contrite on Radio Four.

I don't think Proctor was directly involved, but I have a feeling that police are questioning whether he had any knowledge of what was going on and just kept quiet given that some of the escorts he was involved with were under the age of consent at the time. So even though it wouldn't be a crime today, he wouldn't have been able to say anything without fear of incriminating himself. Of course when he was arrested, he still didn't speak out.

Here's a little limerick I wrote for the occasion

 

A rocker named Gary Glitter,

Raped young girls (according to Twitter),

A jury of his peers,

Gave him 16 years,

Now he's found a new use for his shitter.

Was that a genuine song, or Gary's wish list?

So, with all due respects to the do-gooders whining on about the gender pay gap in the news this morning and in particular the impact that having children has on earnings - how many women suffered such a massive percentage of pay cut as that endured by Gary Glitter once it was revealed - in 1997 - that he had had children?

I don't know about that but its reminded me of that woman who went public claiming to be Jimmy Saviles offspring after he shagged her mum ( 19 at the time IIRC) when she was a waitress in a seaside café.

Naturally, she laid claim to his estate only to disappear without a trace once Saviles sexual exploits broke.

She was so damn close..............
