The word association my brane is making between 'Glitterworst' and 'Glitter Wurst', culminating in a mental image of one of those glitter-filled slippery water snake toys, is quite disconcerting.

A friend of mine was propositioned by him, when she was about 14. He didn't do anything, and wasn't pushy about it or anything, but he was keen for her to come and visit him in his London flat. And could she please wear her school uniform.

Creep.

are you sure that wasn't John Peel lolz?

I don't think Gary Glitter ever propositioned John Peel.

Bloody hell. If you've been accused several times of molesting children, don't dress up as the terrifying seedy villian in a martial arts film ffs.

"...and not just the words of Gadd."

Has she been watching John Wayne in King Of Kings recently?

I remember his Glitter themed cafe in Leicester Square. It was pretty rubbish, but still, it doesn't seem that long ago.

he admitted letting a girl into his bed but said he knew "the line to cross"

Um, and the the line not to cross?

Hah yes, I thought that was a curiously unfortunate phrasing too!

he looks like a perverted wizard.

i like how he blames the media, when, if not for all this gross stuff he's done, i doubt would even know he was still alive.

it was the same w/OJ...like the media was like "OH MAN, we gotta take Nordberg from Naked Gun down a peg or two..."

Lots of curious phrasing, plus his approach at this point seems to be "yes I'm basically a pedophile, but I keep it all just on the right side of legal." Also linguistically funny:

Your daughter will come into your bed in the night because she's scared or something like that. This happened in this case over here. She was scared of ghosts, so under pressure I said OK.

"Under pressure!" Did they both have their attorneys present?

"Look, kiddo, I don't want to let you into my bed to comfort you, because sexual abuse of children is a topic that's never far from my mind -- but I've looked over your petition, and if you're serious about this boycott then I'm gonna have to let you climb on in."
