Multimillionaire suing the taxpayer

Former singer?  As far as I'm aware, he hasn't announced his retirement.

His name is Sir Cliff Richard, having changed his name by deed poll in 1980.

It might not reach the news as it perhaps won't be seen as newsworthy but my guess is that he'lll donate any money received to charity.

That well known batchelor boy

So kennine is sueing if you believe you have been wronged only allowed by the poor?

I would move heaven and earth to clear my name officially if wrongly accused. 

I suspect it is also the way it was done that didn't help  - watching the police enter your home via the medium of tv.

I doubt this is about the money. From what we hear there was a police tip off and the media were there filming as it happened. Irrespective of who he is, of how wealthy he is, he has every right to seek redress through the courts in respect of this apparently disgraceful treatment. 

He should sue.  Doesn't matter if you're rich or not, the fact is his name has been truly slandered and he should sue.  Wonder how much the BBC got for televising this fiasco

If he had been arrested or even charged with an offence and found not guilty, he IMO would be within his rights to seek redress through the courts.

If the bbc filmed the police carrying oit their duties what's wrong with that.   Its good that the public know that the police carry out their duties without fear or favour.

If allegations are made against anybody.be they really poor, or lucky to be worth at least forty million pounds the police are dutybound to investigate those allegations

Being a multimillionaire does not make anybody immune from a police enquiry. IMO

He announced this weeks ago , good luck to him I say, as for suing for 1million peanuts going by suing figures this day and age , they are getting off lightly 

There's nothing wrong with the police doing their work. However they informed the media of the details of  the "raid" so that the raid could be televised. That stinks! Someone in a suitably high position within the police force should have been sacked for such behaviour. I hope Cliff succeeds with his action which hopefully will not only give him retribution, but may also identify the offenders within the police and BBC. As far as the money is concerned I'm sure it will end up in good hands.
