Gary Glitter arrested in london in conection to Saville.

Yep so that's glitter and savile and the police have said there are others.

Oh and with that Phil Mitchell's kid too I put it to you BBC as an apology for your mistakes all licensing fees should be dropped.

be prepared for licence fess to go up, this is going to cost them a lot of money and i mean A LOT!!

It will indeed cost us a lot of money funding compensation claims, lawyers fees etc.

The BBC can pay for its mistakes not us.to be honest don't think alot of the british public will be happy to pay licence increase.


I think compensating victims is the least of the victims worries.at the end of the day it is them who have to stand up in court and get a jury to believe them beyond reasonable doubt and it is not nice to have to do that and most of them will feel like they have been abused all over again.very traumatic

at least they won't be going through criminal injuries and getting the pittance that they pay out!!!

true.

Just watched on news freddy star is worried

I despise GG and all he stands for but I do think that in this case anything we learn about him is irrelevant - we all know what a b'stard he is and in some ways he is an easy target in this case.
I'll bet there are a few folk that are waiting for a knock at the door and I also think that we will be shocked as they weren't on our or anyone else's radar

Sick of all these pedos in the news.

I would quite happily execute them in view of the public in quite a disturbing manner whilst someone was filming it for liveleak.

Execute them in public?
They should cut the balls off them in public!!!

There seems to be quite a different track of thought, between this and 'Body found in Raby Mere'

Public castration or a public hanging??

He has now been released after 10 hours,I don't see him getting any peace unless he disappears again. Hope he gets all he deserves along with all the rest that will now be waiting for the knock on the door.

For many I reckon there will be some shocks. They're going for any celeb who had sex with an underage girl basically... so that's pretty much most musicians (who are still alive).

I always remember my folks telling me about Beatles concerts where there would always be girls "selected" from the screaming crowds at the end of the show, and taken back stage. Same with good ol' Cliff Richard and of course The Rolling Stones. How many people really would've asked for proof of age, and how many of those girls would've been honest and risk being kicked out.

Many people will do anything to get "close" to their favourite celebrity, and to kick off many years later and act the victim is a bit much.

Not defending anyone who is about to be questioned, but how do you defend when it may be stuff like "so she told you she was 16, but actually she was only 14, Mr McCartney!"

I agree Sanchez, there will be lots of ageing pop stars worrying now, but a lot of them would have been not much more than kids themselves. Groupies were readily available to them, management have a lot to answer to. The likes of Saville and Glitter were old enough to have known better and carried on late into life. We can only wait now to see which is the next lowlife to be exposed.
