Gary Glitter

[Zom Zom]

I would in no way set out to fight Glitter's corner, he certainly did some dreadful things. However, it is often claimed that perpetrators have previously been victims themselves, and as far as I'm aware, that is the case here too. It doesn't mean that it is an excuse for the behaviour, but it does leave people damaged and can explain a lot.

There is also this:

A brave and honest account of having to live with the abuse and how it affected him. It's an illness, a mental health concern and this person is calling out for help.

As for Glitter, well it may just be that being released is not the blessing he hopes for. No doubt he'll be hounded by the public, the paparazzi and goodness knows who else because he is such a high profile figure. Whatever we think of him, he needs help. That said, such help would probably have been afforded to him during his sentence.

How on earth this guy ever smash hits is beyond me. He was dreadful.

Another Rock and Roll Christmas is actually a bit of a banger. Don't hear it so much now though.

[rufus lumley]

Now back behind bars.

[Steve1956]

Throw away the key...the guys a menace

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Good.
Probably be out again in a year or so, sadly

[clive40golf]

This menace should never be let out ever again. Trying to get onto the Dark web within 14 days of being released proves that he cannot be trusted and he has no remorse for destroying young girls lives.
If I had my way him and people like him should all be euthanised

Be careful, you’ll get the residents hounding you in force telling you that everyone deserves a second chance apart from those who have differing opinions to them

Where have you read he tried to access the dark web? I read an article that suggested he has had no access to the internet while in his 'safe house'.

This fella has had more second chances than most others. Time to throw away the key. He needs to stay in jail until he dies.

How does a none football subject about a pedophile get to stay open when many others have been removed

Moderator: it is being watched closely and no doubt will soon descend into a slanging match, they usually do.

[Billy Balfour]

Because it's not descended into the usual bunfight.

Yet.

Only because of their "Jealous Mind's"

Bosscats my coocachoo.

[Aclaret]

Throw away the key...the guys a menace

....or throw him in with Charlie Bronson ( Salvador )

[tiger76]

Now back behind bars.

Good keep him there, I'm normally one for allowing folks time to change their ways, however this guy is beyond redemption.

Thankfully Paul Francis Gadd is now 78 so with any luck he'll be meeting the grim reaper soon.

Sorry for the late reply.
Several news agencies have reported this.
Apparently he’s sent an encrypted message to someone asking how to bypass tracking of phones and get on the onion, (apparently a secret code for the dark web)

[Acting Claret]

Hello, Hello, I’m Back Again

[claptrappers_union]

Like sending a WhatsApp to a friend for a stream?

Seriously though he’ll be under that much scrutiny, something as simple as opening a social media account will be breaking his licence.

[AlargeClaret]

Hopefully he gets recalled to a cat B as I’m sure he served his sentence in that “ special “ sex offenders prison didn’t he ? Though his money should keep him safe .
It was quite funny if a bit naughty the way the Sun set him up , but zero sympathy for this orrible clown .

[TheFamilyCat]

Shows that the system works and has put him back where he belongs.

The system that has let him out in the first place

He was filmed by another prisoner at the bail hostel. If the prisoner hadn't filmed him and reported it, the 'system' would be no wiser.

[Vincent'sCap]

What a shambles of a man there really is nope hope for this disgusting excuse of a man just lock him up and forget he's there

[TheFamilyCat]

The system that has let him out in the first place

He was released as he met the criteria required for that (whether you agree with that or not is irrelevant). The release was on licence and he broke the terms of that so he went back in.

That's the system and it worked.

[TheFamilyCat]

It doesn't really matter how it came about. He broke the terms of his license so he's back inside.

I'm also pretty sure that the level of monitoring he would be under would have uncovered any breach soon enough.

[Clovius Boofus]

You said the system worked. I'm only pointing out that it was another person staying at the bail hostel who reported him, not those who are supposed to be monitoring him. Anyhow, at least he's back where he belongs, for now, at least.

Isn't the primary goal of the "system" to rehabilitate for safe release? In which case the system failed....

...3 times.

[IanMcL]

Yuk to Mr Gadd.

[Jakubclaret]

It matters in the sense that you can call into question the efficiency of the people entrusted to watch him, but the most important part is indeed he's back in custody for now, the system is under that much pressure with people thin on the ground he can't be watched 24/7.

[basil6345789]

It's good to be back (inside, that is)
