South Yorkshire police should have kept quiet

[JohnD]

Police should not have released "highly confidential" details to the BBC about a planned search of Sir *** ***'s home, an independent report concluded.

South Yorkshire Police "interfered with the star's privacy" by telling the broadcaster about the raid in Berkshire last August, the report said.

A deal over the details was made when a BBC reporter told the force he knew they were investigating the star.

The BBC said a parliamentary committee had endorsed its handling of the story.

Following the raid, Sir **** was interviewed by detectives investigating a claim of a sex crime involving a young boy, but was not arrested or charged

Blimey the moderators won't allow the words Cliff or Richards now (do they know something we don't ??)

I think because he's got so much on so many high fliers, he's got a Jimmy Saville type deal where he won't be exposed until he's gone.
