    On The Guardian website, Mods, so it's green for go!!

    It'll be some comedown if he's guilty. I'd say he'd have to emigrate.

    Didn't think someone could make themselves more unpopular.

    Well done for proving me wrong, Max.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,837 ✭✭✭TheLastMohican


    He can now get Kerry Katona to be his PR person


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,907 ✭✭✭✭Kristopherus


    Wow !!! Will be interesting to see how he talks himself out of this hole:D:D:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,288 ✭✭✭✭Standard Toaster


    I never thought I'd see myself feeling sorry for Max Clifford...

    And I was right.

    I like how the meeja are straining to point out that as far as Operation Yewtree goes, Clifford only appears under the heading 'others'... as if it's going to stop people assuming his guilt. They don't want to go upsetting the apple tart as a wiseguy once said.

    Charged with assaulting teenage girls as young as 14 according to channel 4 news.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,990 ✭✭✭Cool_CM


    Should be some interesting star witnesses at that trial


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,299 ✭✭✭hairyprincess


    Ffs, this is starting to get ridiculous. Who the hell do these perverts think they are! Did they think their celeb status was going to prevent those assaulted from speaking out. Such arrogance!

    God help those victims. They are amazing people to have made statements

    Going by the period of time the charges span ('66-'85) the youngest he could possibly have been when engaged in sexual activity with a 14 year old is 23. He could of course have been a lot older.

    Ps...... the curse of Louis Theroux continues.
    Hopefully the Westboro baptist church is next.

    Just shocked by it all. Didn't ever think he was guilty and now to find out he has been arrested on 11 counts, the youngest being 14. Sick.

    Why wouldn't you think he is guilty? The man is scum.

    I can't see how its different to Elvis getting with a 13/14 year old yet people seem to be ok with that?!

    I was watching the Louis Theroux documentary on him recently again. He seemed like a slippery man indeed. I thought the whole Simon Cowell thing was funny - making up girlfriends for him and such.

    It's probably too late to prosecute Elvis.

    ........in the ghetto.

    Too late to prosecute Savile too but people went mental over him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,094 ✭✭✭wretcheddomain


    Given it's up to 47 years ago, how can they charge with sufficient evidence, I mean, do they purely rely on the victim themselves or what?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,537 ✭✭✭joseph brand


    I'm sure PR guru, Max will understand it's not great to have the name 'Savile' pop up 5 times in a BBC report of your criminal charges.

    Elvis's relationship with Priscilla seems pretty consensual, and it appears that she was chaperoned for a good part of their early relationship. Whilst you can question if she could give informed consent at that age, there is no question of assault.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I just find it very odd that all these allegations are "suddenly" appearing. It smacks of bandwagon jumping to me.

    Have you assumed that he's guilty?

    Elvis had a better publicist.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,659 ✭✭✭CrazyRabbit


    Is there anything this man won't do for publicity?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 346 ✭✭Big Bottom


    The man hasnt been found guilty of anything yet but stil a lot are jumping on the bandwagon for the sake of it.

    What has he done to be so hated?

    ensured jade goody (rip sweet princess) and Kerry Katona got more publicity


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,740 ✭✭✭kingtiger


    Innocent until proven otherwise


    but I still despise the fcuker, he would step over his dying mother for a few quid

    He always came across as such a nice person

    You're very naive if you think people are not capable of a crime because they appear friendly on TV.

    Good question. I suppose I thought he was one of the good guys but obviously not now.

    Well quite a few believed he was innocent including myself. As I said earlier I'm pretty shocked if he did in fact sexually assault a 14 year old.

    Contrary to what everyone's saying here, he still is.

    For now, at least.

    I knew he was a sexual abuser all along. Don't ask me why.
