Ban Glitter music

Sign the petition here.

Gary Glitter has been accused and/or convicted of pedophilia in Asian countries (Thailand, Vietnam) after fleeing home country (UK) where he was found with child pornographic images.

Royalties earned at sporting events for playing his song "Rock 'n Roll part II" directly support his crimes.

What does it take for society to realise how to protect children? Finally Asian countries have put out massive ad campaigns indicating that foreigners accused of pedophilia will be prosecuted in those countries as well as possibly in their home country. (German sex tourism is notably gaining momentum, targeting the enjoyment of prostitution as an "activity." I saw busloads of male-only German tourists in Bangkok - scary thought.)
