Cancel the invite to the Freak Show Dinner Party

Glitter's one hit was constantly played in sporting venues in the 1980s and 1990s. It is now the ubiquitous sports anthem. In fact, all his songs sound the same - a heavy drum with short, interludes of background singers and minimal vocal from GG.
This is not his first run in with the law for these types of offences. He pleaded guilty in Britain in 1999 to 54 charges of child pornography after kiddie porn was found on his PC. Glitter ended up serving two months in prison and was placed on a child sex offender list. After his release, he went underground, turning up in such easy-to-find locals as Cuba and then Cambodia. He was expelled from the latter, though no charges were ever filed or any crime was alleged to have been committed, and eventually settled in Vietnam.
Gary Glitter now will get what is coming to him - life, or what is left of it, in a Vietnamese prison.
