Cliff Richards house raided - investigation now dropped

[jake 10]

Given the notoriously agressive stance of Cliff Richard's solicitors regarding very long standing accusations - the SYP must either have some very strong grounds to go public - or be completely incompetent.

Well, going on all the evidence available, at best, we have to say, let's hope it's both.

Probably just the police digging a bigger hole for themselves to be honest.

The police have nothing to fear from CR's solicitors, provided they are following enquiries. It would be people who make unfounded and unsubstantiated slanderous/libellous claims against him who would have reason to be worried.

Having arrogant high ranking officers in the SYP hidden away on their ivory towers is not a new phenomon, it has been the case for a great many years, people who think they have all cornered the market in good ideas and good sense, who look at anyone below the rank of Chief Inspector who hasn't spent time in the inner circle of police headquarters, as s..t on their shoes.

And to those who say the police look after their own,,,,not a chance, if a cop does something wrong, those of high rank rip him to shreds without mercy,,deservedly so sometimes but often not so deservedly.

 

But they have now been found out and years of decisions by inept inexperienced high ranking officers with no experience has come back to bite them. Those with no sense or experience cannot properly show those coming behind them how to take over and the whole ability to command is continually watered down to a state we are in today. Unfortunately it is these inept armchair warriors, who have never seen an angry man and are upset if they are not in their nice warm safe bed every night, that are driving all this stupidity. I wonder did anyone see the programme about the SYP a few weeks ago, did you notice how many high ranking officers running around with paper in their hand who were fawning around after the Chief Constable ranks who were more interested in making targets look good rather than getting thing done that mattered

 

When one considers that it is now being considered to get graduates to go straight into the job at a commanding high rank, what experience of policing do they have ?? then you can see why the SYP, indeed most forces, are in such a bad state. But then again, when you consider that the Police Commissioner is a lowly politician with absolutely no Police knowledge or experience, that he can influence and control the workings of a Police Force, again little wonder all this is happening with the Police, the whole world has gone mad.

 

 

Never a truer word spoken.

 

I've been saying this for years.

 

Everyone's always banging on about the fact that the Force, (sorry, Service), is in the doo doo because of a lack of funds. That's easily solved by getting

rid of the useless, dross above Inspector level and putting the massive savings into recruiting front line bobbies.

It doesnt quite work like that in real life though. Putting Cliff's case to one side (as everyone is innocent until proven guilty etc), there have been plenty of high profile cases that were never properly investigated at the time due to a combination of pressure and starstruckness (if thats even a word) and were only properly pursued once the culprit had died

They have history of this

[maggidee 10]

after all this i bet cliff will move it and go on a summer holiday,wired for sound, on the beach.

[Monitor 11]

On the other hand he may face a serious charge and then it could be a case of time dragging by real slow in a prison cell and people telling their kid's "don't talk to him". I wonder.

[Nigel Womersle 10]

Whe all this is over, Cliff will say to SYP 'We don't talk anymore'.

[Dales 10]

Whe all this is over, Cliff will say to SYP 'We don't talk anymore'.

 

And he could be saying it from a prison cell. Who knows.
