The release of Sir Cliff's name was deliberate in an effort to stop any investigation and thus protect the guilty party or parties; they are the only ones to gain from such a breach of confidence. I suggest that either 1.Politicians wanted it stopped and used the compliant BBC, or 2. Old Bill was naive regarding the actions of the BBC or complicit



As I said earlier on the thread,it absolutely stinks the whole thing was pre planned and no doubt we will have lord Mc Alpine proportion similarities,the whole thing looks a setup to get Richards out of the public eye once and forgood..

the mainstream UK press are 100% complicit and will never publish what they know

this was a good read

1) Surely if he's not been arrested and it's just a house search, the reporting is of the search. If at some time he is arrested on suspicion of whatever, then there's a change of legal niceties releasing his name.

2) I took little interest in the actual searching. IIRC Warrants have a limited lifespan, either from issue or from execution. Therefore you would need an appropriate number of officers to do the search. Got to assume it's not some pokey little place he's got there.

3) As for them searching 'behind deckchairs', you want a proper search done don't you?

4) I think it would be very unlikely that he could be arrested, let alone charged over a single accusation for something of this nature. Get a number of allegations all citing a similar method, action or distinguishing feature and there's more chance there's something to it.

5) It doesn't matter if it's a Sir or some scrote with a part-time McJob, if serious allegations are made about them, even if historic, those allegations - unless obviously malicious or false - should be investigated.

half on here think Cliff is being fitted up(inc me)

and the other half think there is a cover up

of course there must an investigation, as normal police procedure

Arrogant people who abuse their position and bring suffering to innocent people deserve all they get. If there is evidence ,let's hope it can be proved and appropriate  justice is metered out.

I guess plod is looking for evidence he is still at it, or hoping he's kept photographic evidence from the 80s.

@A_T re Daily Mail report from February.

All good stuff but surely this bit would apply to an innocent person falsely accused at least as much as a guilty one: petrified of being arrested by detectives and has recently held a number of frantic meetings with his lawyers.

More interestingly, the first and third paragraphs do not tie up: in the third paragraph, the unnamed police or CPS source appears to be saying there is more than one witness to a single incident, rather than there having been lots of different incidents as the first paragraph implies.

I always thought Cliff was simply gay but did not like to come out, someone in his position should be wading though groupies over the decades and he just had nothing which for a pop star is mighty odd.

Takes two to Tango - springs to mind........bandwagon rolling on.

There's no smoke without fire you say brassneck. What about a smoke bomb?
It's went very quiet and wouldn't surprise me if no charges were brought.

lock all his songs up

no moves - really

Cliff has got Cilla's backing. That's worrying

its taking its toll,looks about 150 years old
