Anyone here read "The Sun" newspaper?
Personally i dont like the paper but i wont go on an upper middle class style rant about how its for scum. It is pretty idiotic though.
My parents for some reason buy the Sun so i glance through it from time to time. Today i glanced through it and felt the same way i usually do afterwards; dissapointed and dirty. Anyway when i got to the Sun Letters section where members of the public write in their opinions on various subjects that week i have to admit i was a bit thrown back. Shocked even. The first letter i read was about Gary Glitter and it went a little something like this: "I think Britain should allow Gary Glitter back into the country so we can keep the rest of the children of the world safe away from him. Maybe if hes in Britian the hooded yobs who stab people everyday can finally put themselves to good use"
It was something along those lines. Not only does The Sun choose print an opinion that encourages murder but also makes Gary Glitter seem like a world wide threat. Im not taking Gary Glitters side at all. The man is a scum bag and im sure he knows it. Hes a convicted Paedophile (although he had some catchy tunes! "wanna be in my gang!" classic!) But i dont really think the encouragment of knife crime is wise at the moment. Also making out that by having Glitter in our country we are somehow doing a service to the world? Its one man. Even if he set it his goal to molest all the children of the world and we just let him get on with it he could surely only humanly manage about...100 at most? Hes old and haggard and not much threat at all really.
If you dont believe me look in today's "The Sun" newspaper. "Tits and football!"
