Cliff Richard - shock!

That's mumsnet all in the clink then.

GLASS! You tell us RIGHT NOW what you said in Newcastle about him!

Come on girl - dish the dirt.

Yep! I'll bet there'll be at 37 more come forward by lunchtime tomorrow. #poundsigns

Contempt of court? Rhubarb! We don't know anything about the allegations apart from what's already in the media - get a grip...

Just browsed Mumsnet. Veery interesting.

jingle Just had a conversation about RH and other celebrities which included CR and others so nothing exciting and nothing juicy off to the other side to see whats what

Yes! Might join you there.

I do hope this allegation is proved wrong.

Yes it's no big surprise is it. There have been rumours flying around for years.
Whether the media should be tipped off about a Police raid today though?

There is speculation on the other side that he might skip off to Barbados as apparently he's recently given up British Nationality.

Blimey, I think I need to get out more. I know nuuuuuuuuthing.

And me merlot - I've just read through MN on the subject - blimey!! Seems absolutely everyone's at it. The really disastrous thing is that there is an opinion that it will be all shelved. I had forgotten about the "missing" files" see how easy it is to suppress stuff.

Innocent until proven guilty... that is the law. I don't want to believe it, I refuse to believe it until positive proof otherwise.

What does surprise me is that you can have your property searched by a whole team of police, when you are out of the country [Cliff says he was not told,until after and all the newspapers were informed it was happening by the police.]This is not a murder inquiry, after all, but an alleged incident in the 1980's.I never realised that the police had those sort of powers, is this recent [anti-terrorist laws?]

According to MN CR has known for about 5 years that the police were closing in so it would not have come as any surprise. He was apparently known as "Kitty" in certain circles!?

Roses When the police turned up on the doorstep early one morning to examine DH's computers I asked what would have happened if I hadn't opened the door. They assured me they would just have broken the door down and carried on. This was about 10 years ago so the power has always been there.

I've always thought Cliff was more asexual than gay, but I've never heard anything to suggest that he liked young boys. In a career stretching over 60 years you'd have thought stories would have surfaced before now.

I can't find it on mn, what's it called? Don't have to join, do I (scary thought)

Oh, it's there, it wasn't before, I thought it might have been deleted.
Just a bit slow today. (Me and the computer)

Here are two of the threads.

Thanks, glass

Perhaps explains why the BBC refused to play his tracks for a long time.

This is fast becoming a witch hunt, is nobody safe anymore from that kind of accusation? Yes, Jimmy Saville was guilty and there are certainly a number of other celebrities who took advantage of their appeal to young vulnerable persons and perhaps Cliff Richards is as well but we are now very publically accusing any- and everybody. And what is worse they are guilty unless proven innocent and not the other way round.

People claimed that there was a witch hunt against Saville.

And another.

Sorry its this one

There is stuff on those MN threads I wish I hadn't read.

I hope it is n't true about CR.

I dont think this is the end of it jingle not by a long chalk.
