'Evil triumphs when good people do or say nothing when they should.'

There is a possibility he will face more charges,(according to the Media) and there are also rumours that his wife will be divorcing him and taking him for all she can get IMO.the courts should freeze his assets so that any compensation these girls may be entitled to will not vanish.

He is also responsible for the no-talent celebrity culture we have now.

'Money talks & never lies'.

Max Clifford is a dirty old man, with himself being his main concern!!! He thought money could bring him power, and what it did do was to show him as the true minipulative man he really was......Money from others paid for his lifestyle ......

He thought money could buy him anything and give him power....well what has it bought him now.......

He had no consideration or thoughts for his victims, their families,, his family and some of the people who worked for him......

Max Clifford live by the sword die by the sword

I agree with you Paula, an evil man who will have to watch his back in prison.

Horrible, ignorant, arrogant, misogynist, abuser of women and young girls. Eight years is not long enough in my opinion.

I do feel sorry for his daughter though......she obviously adores him :-(

well more have come forward and there are other charges pending it seems, so probably like Stuart Hall, he will appear in court again

It appears the judge had to sentence according to the guidance in place at the time the offences were committed - personally I think that is wrong and that the sentencing guidelines used should be those that are in place today, had that been the case, one of the offences he was found guilty on, could have got him a minimum of 10 years as on that offence he would have been charged with rape.

OFITG.....Sorry did'nt read that bit. Bl---y hell a possible 4 yrs is'nt right is it,those women/girls have suffered for yrs and will continue to:((

Although the total of the time he was sentenced to was 8 years, as I posted earlier, the judge recommended he should serve a minimum of at least 4 years before being considered for parole.

Only time will tell how long he will actually serve, he was a devious and powerful man with powerful friends, he knows many of the secrets of the rich and famous - and I have no doubt he will use every tool of persuasion to call in a few favours.

How long will he actually serve though?? l understand more victims have come forward since he was found guilty, will they be able to make charges??

Some years ago my OH was on jury duty...the accused was a fraudster, who got 8 yrs. Had lead a good life eating in the best restaurants etc....while in prison he some how managed to get to France to eat in restaurants,it was in the mirror newspaper, he was'nt a millionaire and did'nt have the influence Max C had.....but he did it, so what can MC get up too....hopefully security wont allow this nowadays, but l bet he gets some favours!!!

well it wont be lobster he is eating tonight haha
my heart bleeds for him NOT :-D :-D

When our elder sister tried to make her way in show biz in the 1950,s she came across many sleazeballs.

She had a lovely singing voice and did team up with two other girls who did a Beverley sisters type act.

They were semiprofessional and got one night dates at places like the Cafe De Paris in London

She was on Caroll Levis programme on the radio but lost out to a 14 year old lad.

Carroll Levis 's female hostess Violet Pretty was leaving and he offered her the job but it was strings attached"!!

Violet Pretty changed her name to Anne Heywood for her screen career


The saying then was "whisky and sofa" ie you have a slug of whisky and the we get it together on the sofa and I will get you work!!

She wasnt that kind of girl , and indeed thought he wasnt a nice man either and turned down his offer.

So sleaze was always there.

The problem though is that some of the sleazeballs thought they could do what they wanted and intimidate girls or groom them into complying

Conniving, conceited creep - glad he got his just desserts.


Respect to the women that had the bravery to bring him to court.


Now his wife and family have the ordeal of coming to terms with his
conviction and sentence - his damage to others continues. :-(

excellent!!!!

A good day for the justice system, first we have a judge who showed no favours to a fellow judge by jailing the barrister Constance Briscoe for attempting to pervert the course of justice in respect of the ex-cabinet minister Chris Huhne's speeding points case, she should have known better as she was a part-time judge, and secondly a judge who had the balls to hand down sentences to run consecutively as opposed to concurrently, against a dirty old man who thought he was untouchable.

We need more judges like these sitting on the bench.

Hoist by his own petard.

Magic - after all any nobody with info to sell rushed to him and he was the White Knight!!!!!!!! He has fallen off his horse.
