No point in killing this guy.

If he has actually done what I've read about him lately, he should be kept alive and tortured constantly for as long as possible.

If he hasn't done it, then I apologize for that statement.

I think they should bring back the death penalty in britain for cold blooded murderers and peadophiles

[Noodles37UK]

I think they should bring back the death penalty for that Scottish guy in the Irn Bru advert.

God bless Gary Glitter

[GTjared97]

he's probably got a whole lot of popsicles in his cellar

[HumanMonolith]

Never mind that the only European country that has the death penalty is the authoritarian dictatorship of Belarus...

@FubarTunes Merry Christmas.

[FubarTunes]

@robonez yes there is. its cheaper to execute them than to keep them alive.

[FubarTunes]

@MyThingsRedux wish the hell the death sentence would come back - kissing the arses of europe and obeying their laws stops it. human right do gooders forget 1 fact with peados, they've destroyed a childs life-mentally and often physically. and as for murderers, they take the most basic human right away from thier victim, and thier life is spared. its cheaper to execute them than to keep them alive. unless of course do gooders dont mind them bolted down to their living room floor

@AverageJo12O They could have highlighted a serious issue without making it about GARY GLITTER. Just read the title of the show back again and see how ridiculous it sounds. I don't think they made it to provoke discussion, the death penalty will never come back. It's just a cheap, tawdry, bleak idea that only provokes discussion about how far Ch 4 have sunk.

[AverageJo12O]

@MyThingsRedux I don't think you realise channel 4 only used this case as an example to highlight serious issues like the death penalty and to spark up discussion on the death penalty, I personally think what channel 4 have done here was really good. And for all you idiots that may read this and say 'Oh this person think's Gary Glitter is good' then your an absolute fucktard !!

Brilliant acting!
