Gary Glitter's twistedly triumphant return to Britain has cast a stain on our country.
Not just because he is a vile sexual pervert, nor even because our taxes will almost certainly go to pay for his 24-hour-a-day protection.
Worse still, his arrival has unmasked the sickening opportunism at the heart of this increasingly desperate and morally bankrupt government.
Like some modern day Ned Kelly, the renegade Glitter has been bounced from one country to another following his release from a Vietnamese prison after three years for molesting young girls.
His beaming smiles and outrageous demands prove he is loving every minute of his status as the World’s Most Unwanted Man.
And yet, who gave this reptilian exhibitionist the oxygen of publicity? Who propelled him to world notoriety and made his claims for state protection legitimate?
Step forward Home Secretary Jacqui Smith. Instead of allowing Glitter to return to Britain with minimum fuss, to be placed on the child sex offenders’ register, she thought this might be an ideal chance to earn a few Brownie points through a bit of high-profile paedo-bashing.
