Gary Glitter's on his way back to the UK after being deported from Vietnam, having completed his two-and-a-half year jail term for abusing children.
The former glam rock singer's flight is bound for London, via Bangkok.
British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said that she doesn't think the 64-year-old should be allowed to leave the UK in future.

Glitter stated that he wanted to return to Britian in order to take advantage of the NHS. It sickens me to think that we will be paying for the treatment of this disgraceful paedophile and there is nothing to stop him from "taking advantage" of a health system that SHOULD belong to the good and deserving people of Britain who really need care. Glitter can afford to go private if he wants to but it seems that he gets some kind of kick from getting what he can.
I find it even more disturbing that this man seems to show very little or no remorse or regret for his actions, if anything he seems to be showing the opposite - making demands and trying to take liberties! Why was he put in the V.I.P. lounge? If he wants free health care, he can travel economy class like the rest of us and face the public, he should have been forced to do so. It is absurd that we are still giving this man special treatment after what he has done just because he is "famous" and rich!
