No idea, but funny coincidence how virtually all the people getting these accusations are minted... |

I heard this story about cliff richard 12 years ago, from a decent source. Apparenty the police were aware of it but decided to sweep it under the carpet for whatever reason. |

i had to remove a few things which referred to legal processes. blonde doesn't want to be held to account for statements that may or may not be true and publicising things which are protected by the courts, but which potentially leave us liable
please tread carefully thanks

Lots of other accusations are made and people arrested and convicted, but they don't make national news. Don't think it's surprising that cases involving famous people make news headlines. It's also no coincidence that those found guilty have abused children… |

I'm suggesting there are bullshitters out there looking to make a quick buck because they think they have seen a rich mark. I hope they get the book thrown at them also as being labelling someone a nonce/rapist/abuser etc ain't the most pleasant thing either. I would bet my right arm that even those that have been found guilty have had oppotunitsts making stuff up also. |

I would bet my left arm that there are some who have got away with it who were guilty as sin. FWIW, the one I was actually most surprised with was Max Clifford, I just assumed with him being the PR Guru/Fixer that he was the one least likely to have been embroiled in this. |

Sir Cliff who is abroad, says the bbc denies the allegations.
Anyone able to remind us why Sir Cliff gave up his residency of the UK and took up citizenship in Barbados which incidently doesn't have extradition treates with the UK. Just thinking out loud.

Police still haven't asked to speak to Cliff Richard yet. WTF are they doing raiding his home with the BBC televising it if they aren't going to charge him? Surely they should be doing this kind of thing out of sight of the media?

How do they charge him when he's not a british citizen and has citizenship of a country that has no extradition with the UK? Conveniently when the story broke he was supposed to have been holed up at his home in Portugal but made a sharp exit. Portugal does have an extradition treaty with the UK. |

Well he was supposedly playing tennis in Portugal on Friday, which is after the house raid. Doesn't sound like a man who is trying to avoid the police to me.

Barbados is part of the Commonwealth and the London Scheme for Extradition Within the Commonwealth seems to be a multilateral extradition agreement covering all member countries?

Yeah this. It still has a British Governor General with the Queen as Head of State. That's the only reason there isn't a formal extradition treaty. Absolutely zero chance they refuse to extradite someone. |
