He couldn't exactly 'sneak' into the UK!

I really don’t care whether Gary Glitter is or isn’t having a heart attack. It just seems incredulous that the British taxpayer is forking out on a police officer who is accompanying him and who has been unsuccessful in ‘trying to persuade him to board the plane to the UK.’

Don’t try too hard mate!

With their usual incompetence, only last week the Home Office said it did not comment on individual cases, but a spokeswoman did say “When it is known that a sex offender convicted in another country is to be deported to the UK, he is met at the port of entry by police who interview him and pass any relevant information to the police in the area in which the offender is proposing to live.”

So wouldn’t that be Heathrow then and not Bangkok?

Still, I doubt if the officer concerned is enjoying the company and would class the trip as a perk.
