    Detectives investigating a claim of a "sexual nature" have searched a property belonging to Sir Cliff Richard.

    The home in Sunningdale in Berkshire was searched after police gained a warrant.

    According to twitter, twitter that in 2010 Cliffy renounced his British citizenship and became a citizen of Barbados. Which has no extradition treaty.

    He's currently "Out of the country".

    Hmmm...

    I heard he liked The Young Ones all right.

    Tax reasons ?

    It's been rumoured for years on the t'interwebs that all was not well in chez Richard. If you google his name with "kitty" along side it may raise an eyebrow.

    If he has turned out to have abused children, that's in horribly bad taste.

    It was only ever a matter of time in fairness....

    But if it turns out he hasn't, it's a pretty good pun, so you know, swings and roundabouts.

    It's a typo which has caused much discomfort for poor Sir Cliff.

    It's actually Rich Clifford who's house has been raided.

    There is some pretty weird stuff out there about sir Cliff.

    Google Cliff Richard Kitty


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,060 ✭✭✭✭biko


    I'll need more details and preferably a conviction before I gets me all outraged loike.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭dd972


    I'd be sceptical unless it goes all the way to court and gets proved, he's an easy target for scurrilous rumour for the no smoke without fire brigade, so he's never married and had kids ? if that's the logic people go by it must put a huge chunk of the population under suspicion of such stuff.

    That produces some pretty startling results - but also some that, with the best will and the most open mind in the world, seem like conspiracy theory rubbish - including a claim that both Crimestoppers and Childline are "front organisations" to hide VIP child abuse allegations.

    Did he not have a superinjunction against the papers reporting this for a while?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,043 ✭✭✭Berserker


    Innocent until proven guilty, so let's hold off until then.

    That could have been about tax, residency or god knows what. Those things are common place nowadays.

    Google Elm House Guestbook. It's a grim read but puts a lot of sense on how all these allegations are coming to a head now for a lot of people. A lot of it should have come to a head years ago apparently but injunctions have been protecting a lot of scum.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 937 ✭✭✭swimming in a sea


    Wow I can actually give relevant information, a friend of mine met and got her picture taken with Cliff on holidays in Portugal last week, so if Interpol is reading get to Portugal.

    I'm not sure about believing it as surely the amount of newspapers that have tried digging up dirt to "out" him would have found something out before now ?

    Some naive nonsense on here about holding off until he is proven guilty. Seen this all before. Scumbag

    I'm sure you said same about Freddy Starr ? Yet look how he was proven innocent ? After all the crap he had to put up with


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


    A lack of evidence doesn't mean the crime wasn't committed. In this case, there could be no evidence currently available to prove the crime but this doesn't mean Cliff Richard didn't commit the crime. That's the problem with the whole 'innocent until proven guilty' part.

    Right, calling all comers for the lynch mob for ex Wolves manger Dave Jones, meet up in town for the night ferry.

    Any alternative is a slippery slope.
