Cliff Richard - shock!

Yes dee I agree.

I imagine the gay community must be getting very tired of the automatic assumption that if someone is gay they may well be a paedophile. In the minds of the tabloids the two seem to be inseparable.

Well it has nothing to do with his sexual orientation, if it had it would not make news as too boring, but the suggestion is paedophile that is the issue.

I am sad to read the innuendos about CR just because he has chosen to live alone and not go in graphic detail about his personal life.

In days gone by we had what was called confirmed bachelors and maiden aunts and we did not speculate about their sexuality.

I remember once how the wonderful astronomer Patrick Moore was questioned quite inappropriately about his life as a single man. He answered quickly I lost my fiancée in the 2nd WW and there was no one else for me - end of story.

I truly hope this is all resolved very quickly and Cliff proved innocent.

Thank you for that info Granny23 - I wasn't aware that he had signed a document asking Scotland 'not to go'; as you say, a bit hypocritical when he's gone and done it himself!

Good grief - I'm going to have to agree 100% with GrannyTwice's post as well!

I have been told on good authority it IS quite hard to get a search warrant.
What does seem a trifle bizzare to me though that the raid took place when he was not there.
Just saying!!

feetlebaum are you the spelling police. Richard or Richards, you knew who I was posting about.

From my own experience I would say that a search warrant can be granted with very little cause.

I think it would be quite difficult to get a search warrant without due cause.
Just saying.

Have never been a fan- but it does seem he has been treated very badly. What happens to innocent till proven guilty and access to a fair trial?

Police contacted the BBC but not Cliff Richard

Anyway, Nonu, you could always Google him...(or use whatever search engine you have, of course!)

OH right I have got it now Honeys,
Thanks.


Enjoy your evening, I am going to!

I stand corrected then! Thanks number

I've always hated the whole celeb culture and the honours system and the talk of ' national treasures' and this CR business just confirms me in the rightness of my views - and how dare he say anything about the Scottish referendum? What an absolute shit he is to do this, keep his title, pay no taxes- absolute and utter hypocrite!

Actually, he`s the son of PETER Snow, Jon Snow is his uncle I believe.

Nonu Dan Snow is the son of John Snow the broadcaster.

GRANNY not sure who Dan Snow is . Any chance of a link?

Amazing that CR is one of the 200 celebrities who is a signatory to the Dan Snow 'Don't go' letter, when he has already 'gone' himself. Amazing that given the pages and pages of Celeb Gossip which fill our newspapers that none of us had been aware of this before. Obviously Money does Talk and members of the establishment stick up and cover up for each other.

That is totally fascinating, One has to ask
WHY WHY.
Seems a bit fishy to me !

Ah, so he has gone ahead and done it - thank you for putting curiosity (aka nosiness) to rest.

Money always talks and tends to talk loudest.

I wonder if the taxman was after his dues?

It is curious isn't it nellie but it's most likely for the reasons that granjura has given (although if his income is generated in the UK, he will still have to pay UK rates of tax on it).

Apparently now a citizen of Barbados- and has not paid tax in UK for a very long time. Seems that many people living in Barbados are wondering how on earth he got Barbadian citizenship, as it is normally only possible by marriage- money talks.

They didn't mention which nationality he wanted to adopt.

I seemed to have posted the same comment twice!! I did it from my Kindle and I'm never sure it it's gone or not!! I didn't know that C.R has, or is about to give up his British Citizenship! Even so, that still doesn't make him guilty of anything until a Jury says so. Like you Daze, I wonder why, particularly at his age - He may be considered to be Peter Pan, but in reality he aint!!!!
