We Don’t Want Him In Our Gang!
August 21, 2008
Ex-pop star Gary Glitter has been forced to return to Thailand after being refused entry into Hong Kong. He has just been deported from Vietnam after spending 3 years in prison there for sexually abusing two girls.
Glitter refused to fly back to the UK and claimed a heart attack to prevent having to get onto the plane. Should Glitter be forced to return to Britton he will be met at the airport and forced to sign the sex offenders register. 
It is unlikely according to lawyers that Glitter can be forced back to the UK. If he had been put on a flight direct to the UK then it would have been possible but as he is now in Thailand it will be difficult. However, 19 countries have already refused Glitter entry to their country.
Currently as a country we are not doing enough to prevent sex offenders from committing offences abroad. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has planned to tighten government controls on paedophiles. At the moment police can only use evidence from the last six months about how dangerous an offender is however; under the new plans this period will be extended.
It is important to protect the children in less developed countries from some of the horrific sexual predators that are leaving the UK to offend. In places like Vietnam where Glitter took to, offenders can live like kings and get away with anything as their money gives them so much power there.
