what you must remember and this was said at gary glitters trial by a court usher " had gary buggered boys this would possibly have not come to court " why is it that political correctness demands that jimmy savile can only be charged with offences against girls ? all his offences against boys are being airbrushed out, we are told the gay lobby is immensely powerful and wants no bad publicity which is why elton john and michael barrymore got away free

I wonder I'd the cops sing "Hello! Hello! He's back again" when Glitter comes into the station?
