Cliff next?

cee-dee — Tue, 10 May 2016 17:29:43 GMT

So, the CPS are reviewing a file to decide whether Cliff will face any charges?

Will this end up being a witch hunt or a cover up?

There's never been any real, in depth, open investigation in to what went on at Elm House and some of those supposedly mentioned as being "involved" with goings-on there are now dead. Are they waiting for all the notables to die before conducting some sort of inquiry?

I wasn't aware that there was a connection between Cliff Richard and events at Elm Guest House. I know one his properties was searched in 2014 in his absence and he was interviewed by South Yorkshire Police when he returned to the country. He wasn't arrested and has never been charged with anything in relation to child abuse so probably best not to speculate.

The connection between Cliff and Elm House is that his name appears in the notorious guest book.

Just to be clear, the Elm Lodge Guest House is sometimes referred to as Elm House. My question was whether there'll be a witch hunt or a cover-up.

Several other "names" are now dead and I wondered whether people thought that "they" will wait until others are dead before wasting loads of time and money on some sort of inquiry.

I think the police are obsessed with celebrity, despite there being some obvious sexual predation there are those who see an opportunity to cash in by claiming they were preyed on by celebs.
In the sixties I wonder how many thought a pinched bum could be so profitable.

I'm just surprised that as yet, no one has pounced on poor old Jess Conrad.

Or maybe someone knows differently.

Jess C should have been sent down for his songs let alone any misdemeanors ..... e.g. 'Why am I Living?' and 'This Pullover'

Going by your theory, so should 95% per cent of today's caterwauling dirge exponents (male and female), not least of all for their tinnitus inducing effect on the human ears.

I know there was talk of a number of victims suing Jimmy Saville's estate but has there actually been any successful claims?

I believe claims against the Savile estate and NHS are still on-going, but to date, the BBC has paid £526k to 36 claimants.
