The only one I've been surprised by was Rolf Harris, the rest came as no surprise once the YewTree stuff kicked off, I imagine they will get round to all of them one by one!Comment

Boring song that, like all CR stuff. Old Blue Eyes did much better songs.

More seriously, much as I loathe crappy Cliff Richard, is it really fair to release this news to the press before there has been any attempt to determine the truth of it? Any ordinary person would probably not see the case in the news until they had been charged.
BBC News - Sir Cliff Richard's Berkshire property searched by police
In his statement, Sir Cliff Richard complained that the press appeared to have been given advance notice that his home in Berkshire was to be searched - whereas he hadn't been. He was referring to the reporters and camera crew from the BBC who were outside when police arrived.bloggoth

His layers will use that to his advantage.

He only wears layers when it's cold but he is in either Portugal or Barbados.Originally posted by minestrone View PostHis layers will use that to his advantage. Questioning the integrity and professional of the investigating detectives and if the media had a part to play in it.
But seriously, do the police expect us to believe there is evidence in his house 35 yrs later? They are looking for something else after having leaked their operation to the press in an effort to garner public adulation for all the efforts they are going to to solve these cases.
I would have been far more impressed if they'd all done their jobs properly at the time instead of covering it all up for their prominent showbiz and political friends!Comment
