DISGRACED 1970s British pop star Gary Glitter will be considered for early release from a Vietnamese prison next month, a jail official said yesterday.

Glitter, 62, was sentenced to three years last March, for obscene acts with two girls, 11 and 12. He is on a list to be considered for a presidential amnesty to mark the lunar new year's celebrations next month.

"Glitter has respected the jail's regulations, and his re-education is quite good," the official said.

Born Paul Francis Gadd, he will have served a third of his term, including time before his trial.

Why is this guy still alive, let alone getting a pardon? Cripes, keep him there, Vietnam, keep on 'reeducating' the scumbag.

I can think of many,*many* places I'd rather be than in a Vietnamese prison.

Send him to the "Hanoi Hilton."
