"Cliff Richard gets let off"?????????

The charges against SIR Cliff Richard were DROPPED and the case DISCONTINUED because of INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE which would JUSTIFY proceeding.

In plain words - CLIFF HAS NO CASE TO ANSWER.

I'm awaiting your dissertations on;

'Custer and the 7th Calvary's decimation of the Indians at The Little Big Horn'

'The Socialist Principles of Margaret Thatcher'

'How I won the War' by Adolf Hitler.

'The Many Hospitality Awards of Fred and Rosie West'

I am glad for him,I am fed up of these cases and I still feel there may be people actually serving sentences for things that were seen as nothing at the time,even by those alleging the incidents.

Any real sexual abuse of children or adults of course should be dealt with and the people prosecuted.

The way this case was handled against Cliff Richard has in my view been appalling and is also likely gross incompetence.

My thoughts too Joey.

I agree when he said he felt that even before he was interviewed ,he was hung out like 'live' bait.

There has to be a better way of dealing with these claims and then also making sure to avoid any likely false accusers adding to the list.

With respect if there is no sufficient evidence to even charge him or even more to the point continue any investigation either, then there is absolutely no reason at all for him to suffer what you propose.

He hasn't been let off, there is nothing for him to answer to in the first place.

Maybe there should be for some that have accused him possibly falsely however.

Is this just opinion based upon personal prejudice? Or have you the benefit of direct personal knowledge?

If the latter, then perhaps you should have contacted the police or Crown Prosecution Service.

Sir Cliff Richard

‘After almost two years under police investigation I learnt today that they have finally closed their enquiries.

‘I have always maintained my innocence, co-operated fully with the investigation, and cannot understand why it has taken so long to get to this point. Nevertheless, I am obviously thrilled that the vile accusations and the resulting investigation have finally been brought to a close.

‘Ever since the highly-publicised and BBC-filmed raid on my home I have chosen not to speak publicly. Even though I was under pressure to "speak out", other than to state my innocence, which was easy for me to do as I have never molested anyone in my life, I chose to remain silent.

‘This was despite the widely-shared sense of injustice resulting from the high-profile fumbling of my case from day one. Other than in exceptional cases, people who are facing allegations should never be named publicly until charged.

‘I was named before I was even interviewed and for me that was like being hung out like 'live bait'. It is obvious that such strategies simply increase the risk of attracting spurious claims which not only tie up police resources and waste public funds, but they forever tarnish the reputations of innocent people.

‘There have been numerous occasions in recent years where this has occurred, and I feel very strongly that no innocent person should be treated in this way.
‘I know the truth and in some peoples' eyes the CPS' announcement today doesn't go far enough because it doesn't expressly state that I am innocent; which of course I am. There lies the problem.

‘My reputation will not be fully vindicated because the CPS' policy is to only say something general about there being "insufficient" evidence.

‘How can there be evidence for something that never took place? This is also a reason why people should never be named publicly until they have been charged unless there are exceptional circumstances.

‘To my fans and members of the public, to the press and media, all of whom continued to show me such encouraging and wonderful support, I would like to say "thank you" it would have been so much harder without you.’

CONGRATULATIONS Sir Cliff, just because you've stayed a BATCHELOR BOY doesn't make you 'iffy' - as this decision shows - so perhaps THE NEXT TIME - the police won't be so hasty to publicise unsubstantiated allegations.

SOME PEOPLE have said DON'T TALK TO HIM, but they are in a minority, and I say that this result gives POWER TO ALL OUR FRIENDS who knew you were innocent.

I bet you've been DREAMIN' of this day CONSTANTLY, but what a THEME FOR A DREAM uh?

ALL I ASK OF YOU now Cliff, is treat yourself - accept ALL MY LOVE and take a SUMMER HOLIDAY and relax. It doesn't matter about formal planning, you'll enjoy the break just as much if you're TRAVELLIN' LIGHT.

You can be sure that THE MINUTE YOU'RE GONE all your fans will be wishing you well.

Is it true that the police bugged his house so that he was WIRED FOR SOUND? But then they found it funny that HE DON'T TALK ANY MORE?

[ThriceShy]

He should take time to have a nice holiday now in Praia De Luz, one of his favourite holiday spots.

[Northern Monkey]

He's had enough so he's now moving abroad to the 'Pee'd off isles'

[empire]

there is two things that he can do, sue the bbc and the press, and the met, or demand an open inquiry, with the back up of other innocent celebs, who where treated so badly by the police and press, and that the innocent celebs will be the one's to interrogate both organisations, because his reputation is in tatters, and the police thought they are being very clever on telling the press that from day one, there where going to raid his house, the police and the court system in this country are the biggest hypocrites of all, the police did not stop a thousand girls from being groomed, and turned the other cheek, but if its a celeb, they jump into there hoops,

What the ****ing ****?

[DemolitionRed]

A reputation like the one Cliff Richard has been given will stick forever, even though he's not guilty. The stress for Cliff does not end now and I wouldn't blame him at all if he left Britain for good.

I always believed he was innocent.

Perhaps he's innocent, ever think of that?

What a terrible thing to say ....the man was innocent and has been cleared of any suspicion...I hope he sues the person who made the false claims against him and I hope his career has a massive resurge because of this

That's Rubbish....Rolph Harris and Jimmy Saville had connections with the Royal family for decades ....if the police say Cliff is innocent then he is innocent....I never thought he was anything else....shameful that it's taken the police over 2 years to get their arse into gear....if he was protected they wouldn't have put him thru Hell for so long...
People who make false allegations shud be exposed once their crime has been proven...and they should be prosecuted...

I agree with you...most people believed him and fellow public figures in the celebrity world supported him through out....I think his reputation remained and it will not have been perm damaged...but it was in tatters at the start of the enquiry
