Aha, serves me right for basing a rant on something written in the Mail – apparently Cliff hasn’t given up recording at all – it was down to crossed wires. Or as it’s the Mail, probably just a load of made up lies, as that seems to be their stock and trade. Still it’ll spoil Simon Heffer’s column, where he was no doubt going to blame asylum seekers and single mums for ruining Cliff’s career.
So in fact, what started as him seeming like a churlish fool has actually turned into Cliff’s best bit of publicity for years. I mean, how many blog posts are there out there about Cliff, in general?
