Judge: BBC infringed Sir Cliff’s privacy rights without justification.

LeatherTrumpet 18-07-2018 08:56 AM

Sir Cliff Richard has won his High Court privacy case against the BBC over its coverage of a police raid on his home.

A judge delivered his ruling on the case on Wednesday morning. Sir Cliff has said he wanted damages at the "top end" of the scale.

The 77-year-old singer took legal action against BBC bosses over coverage of the South Yorkshire Police raid on his home in Sunningdale, Berkshire, in August 2014, following a child sex assault allegation.

Sir Cliff arrived at court in a grey people carrier to cheers and shouts of good luck from about a dozen fans. Dressed in a dark suit and spotted tie, he smiled his thanks and placed his hands together in greeting.

Good on him, it was appalling what the bbc did

arista 18-07-2018 09:03 AM

Yes BBC Exclusive
Helicopter
Destroyed his public image
cost him more to win in Court.


That BBC News Manager
is still working for the Bloated BBC.

I'm glad. Of all the accused over the last couple of years I never thought he was guilty. I grew up with Cliff Richard, there was a point when my Mum was a girl when she thought it was inevitable she and Cliff would marry LOL... Anyhoo, great news, a slap in the fact for the police and the BBC who handled this whole thing appallingly.

He's looked awful over the last year or so, so thin and grey in the face. He says his life has been changed forever and I believe him.

The thing that annoys me with Britain's relationship with Cliff Richard is that people think he's "uncool". I remember that idiot Chris Evans saying he wasn't playing anymore Cliff tracks. But even if you don't like him, you have to acknowledge that he's had hit records in every decade in the 1950s. He's sold more records in the UK than Elvis, The Stones and David Bowie.

Conversely, when French rocker Johnny Holliday (a contemporary of Cliff's) died, the country lined the streets for his funeral. In the UK? If he's not current, he's nothing.

What annoys me is the blatant inconsistency of the BBC. They continually state that they don't report anything unless facts are verified and yet here they destroyed Cliff's reputation on a whim.

Livia 18-07-2018 10:15 AM

I agree BOTS. Heads should roll at the Beeb.

bitontheslide 18-07-2018 10:19 AM

i don't see why the cost of the fine should be borne by the British public. It should come out of responsible executives pay packets

Chris Evans could only dream to be as successful as Cliff Richards, it was silly not to play his records, heads, I hope the BBC are proud of themselves...…….not

I'm just glad he's fought back and managed to get through this horrible ordeal.
This sort of thing can finish someone off

Meh..i guess we will never know if all these whitleblowers are telling the truth about him or not now.

After being at lots of rallies against the establishments peadophile rings im not very sure of kittys innocence.

LeatherTrumpet 18-07-2018 10:54 AM

chuff will be raging

:joker:

Livia 18-07-2018 10:55 AM

And that's why he deserves such a big payout, Parm. And the people who did this need to pay. No matter that there was no evidence, no matter than he complied with police completely, no matter that he was never even charged, let alone convicted... some people will always assume he was guilty.

It appertains to the whole elm guest house conspiracy. A conspiracy with no legs, no proof that has been challenged and discredited time and again... and yet people believe it still. Because they want to.

:clap1::clap1::clap1: If he had been American, this pop legend would have boulevards named after him and statues erected in relevant locations.

Some 'Sicko' people not only cannot stand the fact that Cliff is a committed Christian who has created no whiff of scandal but also detest his right NOT to broadcast his sexuality.

Adam Ant's 'Goody Two Shoes' lyrics says it all:

Goody two, goody two
Goody, goody two shoes
Goody two, goody two
Goody, goody two shoes
You don't drink, don't smoke
What do you do
You don't drink, don't smoke
What do you do
The subtle innuendos follow
There must be something inside
