Gary Glitter Arrest

[Hymie]

I know that there are already a couple of posts on this topic – but what I want to know is how come camera crews from a number of media organisations were outside his Chelsea address to record plod taking him away for questioning?

[dotty.]

when was gary glitter arrested?

[sherrardk]

And why do they do it so early?

[Duncer]

All part of the media game; the police give advance warning and the media cooperate in other more "delicate" cases.

[Graham-W]

Well, it can't be a leak from the police or some newspaper hacking into his phonecalls can it? Or can it?

[B00]

They've probably been camping out waiting for it to happen. Mutterings of GG being involved are at least a few weeks old now.

[Duncer]

Anyone who thinks that th realtionship between law enforcement and the media doesn't exist is naive in the extreme.

7-15, the hour of confusion, the night the clocks are changed - perhaps to catch him red-handed.

I wouldn't be suprised if all the "names" which have been brought up in enquiries (just because they haven't been published doesn't mean that they aren't known of by the media) are being watched by the press.

One of the people suspected of involvement in underage offences at the time of Jimmy Savile was ... Gary Glitter ???

Surely it would only be "News" if it had been anyone else.

[Duncer]

Lots of recent references to other "names" being invoved. They may not have printed them, but the press will know and be watching each and every one of them. Be prepared for a big surprise.

Why is 7.15 the hour of confusion? By then I had already made and drunk my morning coffee and was awaiting the delivery of the newspaper.

//Be prepared for a big surprise//

Oooooh ... exciting.

i feel like I've been on another planet today, i didn't know there had been an arrest

[Duncer]

"It does seem strange the media was there, I'm not surprised he was arrested, it's the other well known names I'd like to know about."

I don't think it is strange at all High. As a convicted ex paedophile (if you can ever be ex),who was linked with JS, the press would have been watching and waiting, as they are with several others, some quite high profile.

[sherrardk]

We're not even out of bed at 7.15 on a school day.

[Duncer]

You're lucky, I rarely get to sleep past 07:15, but tomorrow will hopefully be different, cats permitting.

[DTCwordfan]

you would have thought that GG would have cleared his book of "incidents" when he was prosecuted first time - however, the boys in blue may want him to spill the beans on others.....

[joggerjayne]

So maybe it's all a set up, and he's really gone with the Police to dob in some other people.

[Duncer]

I've often wondered about that DT. I am obsessed with breasts, and I seriously doubt that I will ever change. I fiond them endlessly amusing/desirable/entertaining, call it what you will, but that's just the way that I am wired. Expecting GG to cease his predlictions is like expecting me to stop finding women and, in particular, breasts, attractive, so I have every expectation that he will not have cleared his book of "incidents"
