7by7 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) The Hang 'em High crowd does have some justification on their side because a certain man who liked "Summer Holidays" made no secret of the fact he was a "Rent Boy" (male prostitute) in his younger days. Provide proof what you say is true, a link from a reliable source to confirm your accusation, not interested in reading some nobody's blog, please. How is it ever likely there would be news on anything other than someone's blog when over the years there have been many controversial stories about his background but within hours of the story about to be printed his lawyers usually started legal proceedings for libel and thousands of copies of the newspaper were recalled and pulped. If the stories were true, particularly if, as claimed by ATF, the person in question had made no secret of it, then any action for libel would have failed. The UK is not Thailand; all a publisher, or any one, sued for defamation has to show is that the article in question is true; if true, no defamation in English or Scottish law. If any paper did recall and pulp an edition which carried such stories when they received notice of legal action, it would only be because they knew those stories were based on unfounded rumours, not facts. Edit; A brief Google search did throw up some sites making claims that Richard did work for the Krays as a rent boy. All of those sites have blatant homophobic and anti Semitic overtones; one of them referring to Winston Churchill as 'the gay Jew, Churchill!' IMHO, only the most gullible of conspiracy theorist could take such sites seriously. As for the current allegations, we will have to wait and see what happens if and when any case comes to court. 2nd edit, one of those sites is that below, posted while I was typing the above edit. You can see what I mean about the homophobia and anti Semitism! Edited August 21, 2014 by 7by7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 BTW, Cliff Richards is not my style of entertainment, I'm more of a Robert Palmer, Zepplin, ZZ Top, Stones person myself, before anyone goes down that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiang mai Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 The Jewish aspect was first raised in the blog posted earlier which was supposed to have provided proof of his guilt, it mentioned Churchill being Jewish amongst other stupid remarks - I don't see the blog link any more, hopefully it's been consigned to the toilet where it belongs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had you pegged as a Rolf Harris kind of guy. I don't think you'll have any concerns with the ZZ Top or Zepplin lads, someone in the stones is a bit suss and Robbert Palmer would be a safe as houses.

chiang mai Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Well Jimmy Page lives in Pats now and Bill Wyman did hand himself over to Operation Yewtree but they said they weren't interested in him. On that basis we can presume that since Yewtree wasn't interested in Bill Wyman, he was therefore innocent, the case on Bill therefore is closed. And Jimmy Page does not actually live in Pattaya although he, like many millions of other tourists has been spotted there, including your good self no doubt! Talking of which, what exactly is your vehement opposition here, are you projecting guilt perhaps - are you married and if so, to a person of which sex, of what age and for how long - do you have children, why did you leave your home country to settle here? We're all friends here, you can answer truthfully and we wont be judgement mental. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tower_House Next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7by7 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Whilst I'm not a fan of his later style of music, it cannot be denied he, particularly his early days with the Shadows, has had a huge influence on many. "The first English record that was anywhere near anywhere was Move It by Cliff Richard.....before that there'd been nothing." John Lennon. "Cliff has survived and become an artist who cuts across all boundaries making great pop records." Pete Townsend. "A tremendous influence on my early days as a performer." Freddie Mercury.
