Gary Glitter could be returning to the UKWe don't want the filthy paedophile back in this country, its his own fault he is in prison 
| Quote: | Gary Glitter has suffered a heart attack in the Vietnamese prison where he is serving three years for child abuse.
Officials are deciding whether to send the disgraced pop star back to Britain on grounds of ill health.
Glitter, who was jailed in 2006 for abusing girls aged 11 and 12, was taken to casualty after he collapsed in his jail dormitory.
Doctors say he is at risk of a second heart attack and is too ill to return to prison in the nearby resort of Thu Duc.
British embassy officials have visited Glitter in hospital and held talks with prison chiefs to discuss the next step.
A prison source said there were three options - make him serve out his sentence and risk having him die in custody, send him home to serve it in Britain, or release him unconditionally in Vietnam's annual lunar new year amnesty in February.
"The decision will be taken at the very highest level because what happens to Mr Glitter reflects on Vietnam", he said.
Officials in the capital, Hanoi, have ordered that he serve out his full term, less a threemonth reduction in sentence granted last year, meaning he would go free in August.
Glitter - real name Paul Gadd - was put on tablets for high blood pressure last year and told to stop buying beer from the prison canteen.
He has been exempted from hard labour because of his age and shares a cell with 18 foreign inmates, most of them Asian.
Prison staff say Glitter has become increasingly isolated and depressed and is visited only by his lawyer. His health is said to have deteriorated sharply over Christmas and the New Year.
The former singer faces immediate deportation when he is released.
If he returns to Britain he could face further charges under the Sex Offences Act 2003 which covers "sex tourism" abroad.
Glitter left the UK after serving a fourmonth jail sentence imposed in November 1999 for possessing 4,000 photographs of children being abused. He was also put on the sex offenders' register. |

If he comes back in a box then that's fair enough but still breathing? No I don't think so.

At least it seems they know what a prison should be like over there, no private room and satellite TV!
I think he should be let out then he can be hunted down and treated to the agonisingly slow and painful death he deserves!

It's a shame he didn't die. The man is a sick bastard who shouldn't ever be allowed to be free again. We don't want him over here, and if they do send him back, put him in a room with some of the other prisoners, they'll soon sort him out

Let's hope he does have another heart attack and does something decent for once and dies.

I think that he should stay over there and serve the rest of his sentance. If he has another heart attack and dies then so be it.
