Cliff Richards house raided - investigation now dropped

No problem Lex, I wasn't having a pop anyway

I appreciate that, you were very gracious in your post, unlike me sometimes!

Anyway, we better stop this or someone will come along in a minute and tell us to 'get a room'.

Have you heard some of the twelve, thirteen and fourteen year olds' stories from Rotherham?

 

How easy do you think it is for a child to make a complaint, even when the perpetrator is not a powerful, rich, celebrity?

The first Rotherham victims that came to court didn't even realise they were being abused and tried to defend their abusers in the initial interviews with the police.

See he's been awarded £1,000,000 from the police,once again who's accountable for this?What jobs can you make the wrong decision what costs millions ans still have a job the next day.

One thing that also needs mentioning is.. just where will this £1,000,000 come from.

You and me and all the other tax payers.

Professional liability insurance. Just like any other big organisation has.

But ultimately the increased premiums will be paid by taxpayers. Insurance companies are not charitable organisations

Probably so, but how else could it be? The police are funded by tax payers, so the liability insurance premiums will be funded by tax payers. Theres no other way seeing as the police aren't a private company

No they're notbut like any company/organisation they should be accountable for mistakes and the people what make them should be reprimanded.

I would like to think that Cliff would do the Christian thing and donate it to a deserving charity within South Yorkshire seeing as the money is coming from the taxpayer.

Good idea, and even better if he was to donate it to Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice that receives support from SYP, or any of the other charities supported by SYP...

Macmillan Cancer Care

Alzheimer’s Society

Poppy Appeal

Comic Relief

Children in Need

What makes you think that isn't happening.

You have no idea (nor is it anyone's business) what private HR disciplinary action, investigations, retraining or changes to procedure is happening within the organisation.

The police cannot ignore investigating for fear of being sued. They have a job to do no matter how high profile or clean reputation of their suspect.

The alleged negligence of leaking or tipping off the press was the key factor. That has now been resolved by a civil claim SETTLED on a mutual basis. A settlement that comes out of insurance monies just like the hundreds of other civil actions brought against the force every single year ranging from someone slipping on the stairs to alleged malpractice.

Enough with the off with their heads nonsense. The police has enough to get on with

What is it about these days that every single mistake or misjudgement MUST result in a resignation and public shaming. Its never a mistake or accident these days. Nobody ever says that. Everything now has to be negligence or misconduct or public outrage.

Why dont people understand that sometimes things happen with the outcome being nothing more than with hindsight or institutional failure. Nobody and no thing is perfect. Its not always a single bogeyman who can be dragged out in front of the masses to be pelted with cabbages.
