Gary Glitter is a vile man who engaged in unspeakable acts. It is entirely right that he be required to register with the authorities, and that they should keep tabs on him.
It is however unreasonable that the gutter press continue to hound and pursue him incessantly. It is unreasonable that he be plastered across newspaper covers and television news bulletins destroying any prospect of a private life.
Glitter has served his sentence, and the best thing he can do now is fade away andlive out the rest of his life in obscurity. The corollary of this is that he must be allowed to do so.
The authorities have a role to play in protecting society from Glitter, the press do not.
