Clifford hasn't been charged with anything.

I'd like to know what happened to this. Of far greater importance.

How can you care about this when Leicester have won the league, far more important.

I suspect this person is doing their best vascular dementia impression as we speak.

Expect to find out more when he snuffs it. I try not to think about these things to much as it is to depressing to comprehend.

It's amazing how these nonces with influential friends are only ever exposed when they are dead. But yet still it continues.

It's like there's some sort of conspiracy at work, although the same cannot be said if you are a pop star / entertainer.

The people already caught I just see as cannon fodder to create a diversion.

Sir Cliff Richard, I think you mean.

Seems to make a huge difference in this arena.

Wonder what the lyrics 'power to all our friends' were about?

While accepting that jokes like this can feed into a culture that demonises people on rumour and hearsay and so on. But I did find this funny:

I just saw another tweet that said that The CPS had clearly never heard 'Mistletoe and Wine.'

This brings up the old question of anonymity for the accused until appearing in court.as his reputation has been hit badly.

 

[Icy Gull]

The Crown Prosecution Service said it had decided there was "insufficient evidence to prosecute"

Not quite the same as clearing him is it? Although I totally agree that people should not be named whilst enquiries are ongoing though, that is just so wrong.

It was a 'protest' song which reflected the era of the 1970's which was a time of unrest and upheaval in Britain and across the globe. I think Cliff's 'dad dance' of it in Eurovision probably added to the sense of uncertainty and unpredictability.

 

[BensGrandad]

His legal team say this is not over which I take to mean they are going for South Yorks Police and the BBC through the courts. In hope so and hope they win, not that he needs the money.

To be totally fair to Cliff, South Yorkshire police's handling of this particular investigation has been terrible. I think the Met has copped some unfair stick of late but not SWP, they deserve everything that's coming to them. The live TV coverage of the raid on Cliff Richard's house was a disgrace and would have been even if he were eventually found guilty.

I seem to recall SWP have been in the news a fair bit recently over some other matters as well.....
