This is why i'm astounded he went down in the first place. Imagine the tulip he's got up his sleeve...

Max Clifford case: stars fear revenge by shamed publicis

The disclosure will alarm rich and famous figures whose scandals the publicity agent boasted he had covered up.

The 71-year-old, <snip>, is said to be upset that clients have deserted him.

Mind you, he'll have a cushy time inside as they've lined up a small private prison just for him

[minestrone]

Huhne & Pryce was a 'victimless' crime, he will do 4 years unless he contracts some serious medical condition. They won't reduce it on appeal either.

More women coming forward, so he is likely to do more time than the original sentence.

[centurian]

After all like with the perjury cases those involved in the criminal justice system have to pretend that the law is not only for "little" people.

Yes, but once the headlines have gone away - they let them out. Chris Huhne & Vicky Pryce were both quietly released significantly early - way before the halfway point in their sentence.

He probably knows that the prisons are so bursting at the seams, that they ain't gonna keep a 75 year old locked up for a single day longer than they absolutely need to.

In fact don't be surprised if he's let out earlier than that - even without an appeal

Every now and then they keep someone rich and well-known in as an example.

Edited to say: He will get let out earlier but not as early as if he admits it.

lots of pundits on LBC putting the boot in. Mellor had a good point, Clifford was a Sadist and really enjoyed screwing people over.

I think the Sentence reflects his 'comeuppance' in the mind of the Judge from her words.

Also they are trying to cast doubt on the previous accused as many were supported by Clifford. I suspect we will see more people going back to court now they have got first blood.

Given this is a man who was trumpeted as being the best at managing the message - it's amazing how failed so spectacularly to do so with the judge.

Clifford's Sky Antics 'Show Lack Of Remorse'

Judge Anthony Leonard said: "I have discovered that you appeared behind a reporter outside this court whilst he was making his report of your evidence and during which you mimicked his actions in a way that was designed to trivialise these events.

"I find your behaviour to be quite extraordinary and a further indication that you show no remorse."

[speling bee]

Although the convictions were of the past, it's amazing he operated throughout his career as the 'good' PR guy.

It looks like not all publicity is good publicity.

[centurian]

He obviously doesn't realise that if you don't admit you have done your crimes after you have been convicted it delays you when you ask for parole.

Quoting the times:

He really is beyond contempt! What about the 'dark cloud' his victims have been living under their entire lives?

Quoting the times:

He went on: “I just have to make the best of what the court gives me. It is the same as I have felt since it started 17 months ago, it is like living under a dark cloud.

“It is the same for my family... for my daughter and everyone close to me.”

Clifford, who was treated for prostate cancer, added: “As I did when I had cancer a few years ago, you have to make the best of it you can.”

People were terrified of him like Savile.

However Stuart Hall pleaded guilty, Max didn't. However I had got the maximum sentences wrong. The actual ones are




so probably 9-12 months in jail...

Well I was wrong. Clearly the cases were post 1985 as he's gone down for 8 years.

Clifford should serve his eight sentences of between six and 24 months consecutively. He must have really upset the judges for them to do that..
