Probably because at the moment they are not allowed..........

He is but they aren't.  In Australia I mean.  How does that work?

It all depends on Mr Edgar's motivation and the targeted audience would you not say?

Absolutely.

I wonder if Dave Edgar is still employed by Madeleine's fund.  Because of that I take everything he says with a pinch of salt.

I wonder if this article will now be shared by the UK media.   Anyone want a bet?

if you look at what Edgar actually said....

Last week a retired UK detective claimed Maddie, who would now be 15 years old, was probably still somewhere in Portugal, and could even remain held captive in the small Algarve coastal town where she vanished more than 11 years ago.

Whats wring with it....Maddie probably wasnt taken out of portugal......and could even still be alive. Far more likely than she died in an accident covered up by her parents...imo

Martin Townsend seems to have a bit of a history when it comes to playing a bit part in getting things totally wrong as far as Madeleine and her parents are concerned.

How it is possible to headline a non story of a marital split from a father going back to work while his wife stays at home? ... seems Martin is your man.

It doesn't surprise me in the slightest that he and Mark Saunokonoko appear to have 'found' each other ... in my opinion neither baulks at a "cynical attempt to attract readers".


Disgrace of Sunday Express headline
Roy Greenslade

Sun 20 Jan 2008

Of all the nasty headlines that the Daily and Sunday Express have published about the Madeleine McCann mystery, none is quite as nasty - and blatantly inaccurate - at the one it ran on its front page today: McCANNS SPLIT BY AGONY OF MADDY.

There is nothing in the story to justify this disgraceful headline. The only split it mentions is that Kate McCann stays at home while her husband, Gerry, goes to work. Everything else in the article is speculation based on quotes from anonymous friends who say that the couple are continuing to go through agony.

Yet this is what the Sunday Express editor, Martin Townsend , has the bare-faced cheek to say in his column today: "At every level of our society, and in every area of our lives, fair play and common sense seem to have evaporated in the past decade."

He attributes those failings to "Labour rule" and accuses the prime minister of "spectacular, breathtaking hypocrisy."

Well, Martin, it takes one to know one. That headline is a cynical attempt to attract readers. It is, according to your own story, without foundation. I just hope the Press Complaints Commission decide that enough is enough on this matter and decide to take it up. For once, it might be justified to entertain a third party complaint. And here it is.

"All I'm going to say is that we've conducted a very serious investigation and there's no indication that Madeleine McCann's parents are connected to her disappearance. On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence pointing out that Christian killed her," Wolter told the "Friday at 9"....

And cruel.
As cruel as being an ex-policeman wedded to the idea that Madeleine is dead?

im  pleased that our australian journalist tells the truth about the mcann case he doesnt  hold back   xxx
But you’ve just told us he “can’t stand” the McCanns - is he letting his emotions getting in the way of objective reporting?  Sounds like it to me!

I’m not remotely worried, why in earth would I be worried about what a two-bit journo on the other side of the world has to say about anything?
