UK’s Whipping Boy, Gary Glitter Next In Queue For Abuse Claims

by WireNews+Co - Open-Publishing - Sunday 28 October 2012

I love it. Next in queue: Gary Glitter.

SkyNews reported this morning that a "SkyNews source" had informed them that "a man would be arrested" in London. Somehow Sky’s reporters knew to show up at Garry Glitter’s home. It’s amazing.

Why didn’t SkyNews simply tell the truth? Why don’t they just say what everyone already knows—that the police regularly pass information to journalists and that they are often paid for the information?

It’s really quite insulting for police to then refuse to say the name of the "man who was arrested" as though they are protecting his privacy. It’s nonsense. The police called SkyNews, established a UK version of a ’perp walk’ and that’s how Sky knew to go to his house.

While the lamstream media ramp up in preparation to further vilify Glitter let’s not forget that in 1999 after being charged with having sex with Alison Brown around 20 years earlier, when she was 14 years old, he was found innocent.

Brown had had a relationship with Glitter for some years and Glitter was acquitted of this charge. It was later revealed that the so-called ’victim’ had sold her story to the News of the World and that she stood to earn more money from the newspaper should Glitter be convicted. In other words, the media paid Brown to set up Glitter as he had said all along.

I have to wonder whether or not the images that were previously "found" on his laptop by the dutiful PC World employee weren’t placed there by someone who had been paid by the News of the World.

As for the conviction in Vietnam, well, he has always denied the charge and says that he has never had sex with anyone who was under the age of 18 and I believe him.
