If he gets done, then he can pine about the green, green grass of home... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted April 8, 2014 Do you guys have some info/tip-off which leads you to believe it's that guy, or are you just picking him to make a change from all the Cliff Richard jokes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted April 8, 2014 Do you guys have some info/tip-off which leads you to believe it's that guy, or are you just picking him to make a change from all the Cliff Richard jokes? There was that Daily Mirror article from about six months ago (linked upthread) that suggested that Wales' finest, like the summer weather, had a tendency to deep into the low teens. However, some bro of mine at one of the national newspapers says that it's not a "showbiz" showbiz arrest, rather someone who worked backstage at the BBC.

A backdoor man...the worst kind of sexual predator. Re Zorders' comment above, I'll confess to jumping on the Jones' bandwagon without reality checking. His reputation was mainly for bedding married women and the generally besotted and the front rows at his gigs weren't noted for under-age totty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted April 8, 2014 I mean I suppose how we all pick our Yewtree guesses is how the general public deadpools: a list of random names, vague slightly educated guesses and personal animosities. Going "Cliff is a paedo!" is like someone coming in here and going "how come you guys haven't picked Keith Richards this year?" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted April 8, 2014 Cliff being a paedo is akin to Noel Edmonds being caught in Yewtree, mainly wishful thinking because the persons involved are widely disliked by many. A mate of mine who encountered Edmonds told me the man was somewhere right of Genghis Khan, is widely disliked (much of it jealousy on the back of his ability to milk formats and make a fortune), but he was never as blatantly stupid as the Yewtree mob. Similarly Sir Cliff, it's probs clutching at straws in the hope that some cottaging incident so old that same sex relationships were illegal can be refried to put him inside. You can't help thinking that generations of tabloid journalists would have got there first it the evidence was that compelling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope he escapes jail.He seems like a nice enough man to me ,and he's very old Hiding peadophilia ,sex assaults ,peadophile ,selling people down the river for money and goodness knows what else . Yea he sounds like mother Teresa with a dick. There is the one positive to take out of this is we won't have to see him on TV anymore and no one will hire him ,with any luck he will get a lengthy sentence and then disappear from the spotlight either that or he dies in prison . Either way he is one slimy cunt!! That's two of simon cowell's close associates now who have been arrested for buggery of minors , i wonder what simon has to say about this and did he put up any bail money for Clifford?

I was watching on eurosport (I like commentators who actually have a clue what they're on about) but according to other forums there was a shot of some audience members smiling and he said something along the lines of "smile for your uncle willie girls" and now #unclewillie is trending on twitter...
