Why do people hate Cliff Richard?

I think he's cool, but people have mocked me because of that and Radio stations seemed to have banned his songs on air, I don't believe all those allegations about him either, a witch hunt, blown out of proportion.

I think he's self centred. A few years ago when the copyright on his early songs was about to expire he campaigned long and hard for the copyright laws to be extended using the excuse "copyright income is my pension".

Fucking greedy twat. He made more in a year than I made in my entire working life. If *I* had to pay into a pension fund to sustain me in retirement why the fuck would he think he ought to be exempt?

I also suspect there may more to those allegation than ever came to light. It's the only reason I can think of why he'd take a recording company to court in an attempt to force them to delete all know recording of him singing a song in 1968 aged 26 in which he expressed the anticipation of deflowering a young girl.
