Gary Glitter landed in Hong Kong this evening after a Home Office blunder left him free to travel the world.
The convicted paedophile had been due to fly to Heathrow this morning.
But he refused to get on the jet and remained at Bangkok airport while Thai officials tried to persuade him to leave.
Eventually he caught a flight to Hong Kong. His move is likely to provoke a diplomatic incident with China during the Olympic Games.
Glitter, 64, was free to travel because the Home Office issued him with a new passport in November while he was in a Vietnamese jail for abusing two girls aged 11 and 12.
It means he can travel to any country that will have him. Without it he would have had to go straight back to Britain where he would be strictly monitored.

That guy will be seriously hard pressed to find ANY place on this earth that will hapily allow him entry into their country, methinks. After his face has been plastered all over hell and back, he's likely persona non grata all over the planet. At least one can hope...

He might not be laughing anymore, he's been denied entry into Hong Kong according to Foreign Office officials.
