Cliff Richard

It seems that the British establishment has really cocked-things up big time.
In their desperation to keep a lid on the filthy shenanigans being investigated by Operation Yewtree and Operation Fernbridge (don’t forget Operation Pallial) they’ve taken to repeating their most popular ‘dirty trick’.
Unfortunately for them the Brits are not that stupid.
Whilst they can try the old “create a twitter storm based on a half-truth and then target a high-profile user and scare the masses with defamation costs and shut down debate” routine once, trying this twice is really rather stupid.
We saw the trick in action with the Lord McAlpine and Sally Bercow court case.
Bercow sent out tweet that alleged wrongdoing by McAlpine.
McAlpine sued and won a libel case against Bercow.
Bercow was grovelling in her apologies and begged people not to repeat her mistake.
The whole charade was presumably meant to put the public in its place and stop them discussing the issue of VIP child-abuse in the UK.
It didn’t work.
What the hell could the desperate ptb do next?
Why not try again?
This time with an even higher-profile public figure.
They did.
We now come to the curious case of the 72 year-old celeb who was arrested by Operation Yewtree officers last Monday.
Rumours spread like wildfire around the twittersphere.
It was only a matter of time before Cliff Richard’s name was in the eye of the storm.
How many other famous 72 year-olds are there?
Apart from Peter Stringfellow, not many.
It predictably turned out that Cliff had not been arrested and the 72 year-old referred to was in fact ex-BBC DJ Chris Denning.
Cliff’s friends are now angered that twitter users besmirched his good name.
Some are calling for yet another libel case to be bought.
The twitter user would presumably lose their case and yet again the public would have to shut their mouths.
Can anyone see a pattern emerging here?
Of course, there is another way Cliff can put a stop to all these wild rumours and allegations.
He can stand up, hand on Bible, and make a solemn declaration to the British people:
” I, Cliff Richard, have never been arrested by Operation Yewtree officers.
I have never been arrested by Operation Fernbridge officers.
During my 50-year career I have never once been arrested by any police force either in the UK or abroad.
I have never visited the Elm Guest House.
I have never been involved in any inappropriate activities with anyone at anytime, ever.
I am exactly who I’ve said I am for the past half-century:
A celibate, heterosexual, Christian singer who has never, ever, ever, 100% ever, been arrested”.
Go on Cliff.
You know God wants you to.
