Yes, I know that - couldn't agree more.

What puzzles me is why do MSM - all of a sudden in most stories put

  There is no suggestion that Maddie's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, were involved in their daughter's disappearance.


When they are not suggesting they are - what is the reason behind it.


IIRC they were not suspects - before being made arguidos

It's a legal rider added to articles by the MSM in order to avoid being sued by this litigious couple.

Just why have the mccanns been able to silence people.... Do you think it's govt protection... The masons

It only works if there actually IS no suggestion that they were involved in Madeleine’s disappearance.  I take it there isn’t the remotest suggestion of this in any of these podcasts then?

A retainer was paid to CR from the fund, a fact that Adam Tudor admitted at the select committee. It is free to the parents but not to the fund set up to find their daughter.

CR are paid a retainer....definition.... an amount of money that you pay to someone so as to be sure that that person can work for you when you need them.


Mr Tudor: Yes. My partners and I talked about it. We have a committee of partners that looks at whether or not a case is on a no win, no fee basis, as you probably heard from my partner, Mark Thompson. We did that with Kate and Gerry's case. It was a longer, more difficult discussion than would ordinarily be the case because of the extraordinary nature, volume and so on. We sent the complaints to The Express and The Star, at which point we were acting on a normal retainer. We indicated to Kate and Gerry and we told The Express and The Star at that time that if the matter was not resolved we would indeed go on to a no win, no fee arrangement.
