Well you are all being very restrained - I have searched for a thread on this topic and can't seem to find one! So slimeball Clifford is getting his comeuppance at last. What a totally unpleasant, arrogant and nauseating character he always has been is. And how wonderfully ironic to be savaged by the gutter press red tops which in the past have promulgated his lies and distortions with such dedication. So they believed he was telling the truth then did they? Leopards and spots spring to mind.

Is it insular not to be interested in Slebs? If so, then I'm glad I'm insular. There are far worse things to be.

You did ask 'who the hell is Max Clifford?', bags, which is why I suggested you Google. Why bother with this thread at all if you have no knowledge of the subject matter? confused

(just saying)

Bagitha darling.

I don't believe you.

Nobody lives that insular a life.

thatbags Fri 02-May-14 22:00:16

First thing on Google said he's a celebrity publicist, whatever that is. Fascinating. Not.

thatbags Fri 02-May-14 21:58:15

I did google, ana. That's how I knew I wouldn"t have known him from Adam.

jingl, did you by any chance notice the link notso posted at 17.29.03?

Ana Fri 02-May-14 21:47:14

You could always Google, thatbags, even though you don't watch tv.
(or whatever search engine you have)

thatbags Fri 02-May-14 21:38:23

Who the hell is Max Clifford? Never heard of him and wouldn't have known him from Adam. Clearly there are advantages to not reading "red tops" nor watching Slebs on telly. Glad he's being punished for his misdemeanours, whoever he is.

Re- phrase that

That is true I read Rumpole !

Just google the Crown Court Sentencing Guidelines and you will see that they have been applied fairly in this case.

Nonu Fri 02-May-14 21:08:23

That is true , I think I read Rumpole !!

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 02-May-14 20:49:39

And which bit does that relate to? confused

Mind you, if he had got a different judge on the day, he might have got a different sentence.

I watch Silk!

annodomini Fri 02-May-14 20:42:32

Remarkable how jingle is more perceptive than a Crown Court judge. Isn't it?

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 02-May-14 20:14:42

I don't think I did try to shock anyone.

'ang on! this is the wrong thread! confused I don't think I've said much on this one.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 02-May-14 20:11:21

Repeated attempts?

JessM Fri 02-May-14 19:44:13

I don't think you're repeated attempts to shock other members really counts as initiating "discussion" jinglebell

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 02-May-14 19:40:16

sounds like they didn't get him for that one

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 02-May-14 19:38:03

Oh, go ahead with an uncivillised one then. hmm

Seems perfectly sensible to me. Celebrity chasing is a dangerous game.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 02-May-14 19:36:45

I definitely read about a fourteen year old. Probably mis-reported.

Notso Fri 02-May-14 19:34:38

19:28:56.......I can't think of a civilised response.

Ana Fri 02-May-14 19:33:11

confused

Ana Fri 02-May-14 19:32:57

He was charged with (and convicted of) offences against women aged from 15 to 19 - where does the 14 year old come into it? [confusion]

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 02-May-14 19:30:12

I have already said what I think of Max Clifford in this respect. I think it's ok to broaden the discussion a bit, don't you?

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 02-May-14 19:28:56

I think these kind of things might not happen quite so often if teenagers put a bit of thought into looking after themselves - yes.

Lona Fri 02-May-14 19:26:30

Thank you for the link notso, I too feel revulsion for this horrible person.
