And sooner or later one’s past catches up with you especially when one hangs out with known child rapists.
Oh god, I don't think mere words can convey the unfolding horror of this clip. I really didn't think it could get any worse when Glitter turned up.

And the public reaction in two tweets:
Mind blowing that Gary glitter probably comes out of this the best, as a mere passing lazy racist. Brandreth basically admits to noncing and has a pair of chinamen glasses on hand. Now he's apparently a national treasure…

And Mr Brandreth, your friend Gary Glitter:
Gary Glitter is the stage name of Paul Francis Gadd, a British singer, songwriter, and musician. He rose to prominence in the 1970s as a glam rock icon, known for his energetic performances and flamboyant style. Glitter achieved considerable commercial success with hit songs like “Rock and Roll (Part 2)” and “I’m the Leader of the Gang (I Am).”
However, Gary Glitter’s career and reputation were marred by criminal activities. In the late 1990s, he was convicted of possessing child pornography, which resulted in a prison sentence. His crimes were exposed further in the early 2000s when he was found guilty of sexually abusing underage girls in Vietnam. Glitter was sentenced to imprisonment in Vietnam and later extradited to the United Kingdom.
Due to his criminal actions, Gary Glitter’s music and public image have become highly controversial and widely condemned. His songs are often removed from radio playlists and public performances, and he is generally regarded as a pariah in the music industry. It is important to note that Glitter’s crimes are separate from his music career, and his actions should not be conflated with the broader genre of glam rock or the artists associated with it.
And Mr Brandreth was still the after dinner speaker of choice of a certain Mr Boris Johnson.
Can the UK sink any lower?
Of course it can.
