Singer Cliff Richard is suing the BBC over the misuse of private information and breaking data protection rules, for transmitting film of a police search of his UK home in 2014 after an allegation of sexual abuse had been made. No charges were ultimately brought. He says he suffered “profound and long-lasting damage” from the publicity. Lawyers for the BBC says its coverage of the search was accurate and in good faith and journalists had respected Sir Cliff’s “presumption of innocence”.
Born 14 October 1940 9.10pm (rectififed) Lucknow, India, Richard has had an extraordinarily long and successful career as a pop singer at the lighter end of the scale, selling only marginally less in the UK than the Beatles and Elvis. He is a lifelong bachelor and a committed Christian, with wide philanthropic interests.
He has a Libra Sun in the performing 5th house, with an Aries Moon in his 10th house of career – definitely destined for a public career. His chart is very Fixed with Mercury in Scorpio, also in the 5th opposition Jupiter Saturn in Taurus; with Uranus also in Taurus in a creative trine to Neptune; and Pluto in Leo. A proliferation of fixed planets usually gives longevity and stamina. His Moon opposes Mars in the 4th; his Venus in Virgo on his IC is trine Saturn Jupiter and his North Node is in Libra also in his 4th – so he’d always find work easier than his emotional life
When the police raided his UK home tr Neptune was conjunct his midheaven and since then has been moving through his 10th, so he would feel his reputation was being undermined. And shortly after,tr Pluto moved into his 8th where it stays for many years, giving him a sense of being trapped. At the moment he has tr Pluto square his Sun in 2018/19 so feeling tremendous pressure. He’s already sued the South Yorkshire police. Though the BBC is a different kettle of fish, never giving way easily in legal spats.
Cliff Richard is clearly a closet gay man (why is he so ashamed of this?), and there is evidence that he may have had paedophilac dalliances with prostituted, vulnerable children at the Elm Tree Guest House (underage brothel) in London during the ’70s and ’80s. By all accounts (including that of the proprietor), Cliff used to check in there under the pseudonym ‘Kitty’. Naturally, dear Cliff has vehemently denied all of these allegations but, given that there have been a series of investigations conducted into Cliff’s activities, and a couple of his properties searched to date, I think it’s safe to say that there truly is no smoke without fire. It appears that he has some powerful friends in the British Establishment protecting him. I’m patiently waiting for the dirt on Cliff to surface fully, and for him to be prosecuted and punished accordingly in the near future, however. If it doesn’t come out while the faux-Christian, old cretin is still alive, I have no doubt that it’ll emerge with full force after his demise (a la Jimmy Savile – his fellow knighted paedophile and visitor to Elm Tree Guest House).
Good morning Marjorie!
TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) was finally launched last night at 22.51p.m.,
from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.
if all goes to plan the spacecraft will be incredibly prolific in seeking new alien Worlds in the Sun’s neighbourhood.
Do you have any thoughts re the mission?
And thank you if you do.
