Sir Cliff Richard's home searched by police

Police are searching a Berkshire property belonging to Sir Cliff Richard in relation to an alleged historical sex offence.

A number of items were removed from the property in the Sunningdale area for further investigation, but no arrests have been made.

A police spokesman said the allegation involved a boy under 16 and dated from the 1980s in the South Yorkshire area.

The search is not connected to Operation Yewtree, police said.

But officers from that operation have been notified, a South Yorkshire Police spokesman added.

Sir Cliff, born Harry Webb, is one of the most successful British musicians of all time.

He has sold 21.5 million singles - more than any other male British artist - and is the only performer to have had at least one UK top five album in each of the last seven decades.

He has represented the UK in the Eurovision song contest twice and in 2013 released the 100th album of his career.

Believe it or not there are sites dedicated to Cliff Richards jokes. here's one posted over a year ago. HAHA!

Cliff Richard is the only celebrity who is practically guaranteed an immunity from the child sex allegations in the news.

Any of his potential victims would have died of old age a long time ago.

That's about a quarter of century out of date. Even I found it obscure until I put my time warp head on. Big disease with little name is now like diabetes, chronic not terminal.

If Cliff Richard has a brain at all, he would have kept all his computers and phones squeaky clean.

It was just a question of time before someone had a go at his fortune.
Expect a flood now, from anyone who met him, who was under 16 at the time.
If the police can get a bunch of scammers to testify, they can con a jury, on the grounds that there's no smoke without fire. They did with Rolf.

Rolf was innocent? Of course the criminal justice system isn't worth the velum it is written on..

So juries always get it right then?
How can anyone possibly know, except Rolf and the people claiming he abused them.
I don't see how a jury can possibly know, beyond reasonable doubt. I didn't read any reports of unbiased witnesses to the ''abuse''.

It's OK, he found Jebus. Wait, what about Jebus? Did he hang out with Saville as well?

Is any entertainer over the age of 60 in the UK not a pedo??

[Tero]

McCartney. When past 50 he started marrying them all. And they were all older than 20.

Probably not.
But thirty years ago, it was just called shagging a groupie. Now it's called child abuse.

I can't believe it's taken them this long to get round to Cliff. Given that several years have passed between rumour and police action, you'd expect him to have destroyed the evidence by now.

Police can't act on rumour. They wouldn't get a search warrant for a start.

What bugs me is that the press were informed well in advance of the police raid. They are using the press and hoping for the widest possible coverage. Even though he's completely innocent, they have wrecked his reputation.
The message that they are giving out is, if you have ever been tempted to have a go at his fortune, do it now. Get in early, before the other hyenas form a long queue.

Love how you've decided he's innocent without actually knowing what evidence exists.

File your opinion next to the toilet, along with all the other shit.

Queenie ought to watch who she gives knighthoods to.

He's innocent till proven guilty. Didn't you know that?
