Goncalo Amaral.

Sorry to disagree Eleanor.  But I think it is entirely in keeping with the context of most of the posts made by this respected member.

Oh Dear.  I so wanted it to be different.  So I will go on hoping if you don't mind.

[Brietta]

Tis all in the mind of some unfortunate people who have nothing better to do than hate.  This is really sad.

I think it is more than sad, I think it is tragic.  But I don't think it could be anything other than a hateful exercise when considering the origin and the originator.

Even yet when the McCann family must be consumed with fear and trepidation for Madeleine, Amaral cannot help himself from taking a sideswipe of hatred and prejudice aimed at her father based as usual on nonsense.  Because that is all Amaral's got.
Amaral is the architect of almost all the lies told - Calpol springs to mind - so based on lies the result couldn't be any different from the origin.

That is the most nasty thing that you have ever said.  And I don't believe that you meant that.  In fact I am sure that you didn't.

It’s not the first time I have said it and, while I don’t include you in my statement, I absolutely do mean it.

[Brietta]

Until we see what evidence the Germans are basing their opinion on ... I too continue to hope.

[Eleanor]

Do come on.  You must all know me by now.  I never want to blame anyone or believe horrible things about anyone despite having them smacked in my gob.

There's a bit of London for you.  You can take the Londoner out of London, etcetera.  Just remember who I am.

[Eleanor]

That's okay.  So long as you don't include me.  What?

But I do have a very forgiving nature.  So all will be well for you.

Hail Mary, full of grace.

[faithlilly]

Of course you think it matters.
If it didn't why have you spent the last thirteen+ years ensuring you post as prominently as you can about it.

In my opinion your post deriding Madeleine is proof positive of something I can only speculate pejoratively about but to which you will know the answer.

The case fascinates me, that’s why I post. No sinister motive....but of course you know that, really.

And I have never said anything that derides the poor child so don’t try that one. I feel nothing but pity for Madeleine, she has been failed by so many people over the years and nothing would make me happier than the knowledge that this saga had only ever been about her welfare and finding her. Unfortunately that has never been the case.

Perhaps you need to walk away from the forum for a while Brietta to gain some perspective...just a thought ?

I believe Amaral prefers to be an insidiously malign influence but of late has been forced to be openly direct by putting himself recognisably in the firing line which surely signifies that something is going terribly wrong for him.

Perhaps old alliances are withering on the vine for him much as Felgueiras has and at the moment he is having to keep the ball rolling in person.
I get a flavour of that same desperation in your posts of late.

Pardon ?

Why would what happens in this case make me in any way desperate? Please think about what you write. Please consider how nonsensical it appears to others. You may be heavily invested in the outcome of this case, please don’t assume that others are.

Sorry.  I thought that Amaral was a dead duck yonks ago.  Have I missed something?

[faithlilly]

Of course he is. Brietta just seems determined to resurrect him.

[Brietta]

He was - is - and will be.  He is just exhibiting a Freddie Krueger type bad smell penchant for hanging around as his current negative interference in the German investigation into Madeleine's disappearance seems to indicate.

Oh.  You mean that he has lost it.  But I thought we knew that already.  Silly me.

[Robittybob1]

Please try not to be too silly, Rob.  Being Female has got nothing to do with this.

Isn't that a famous quote?   Hell, listen to this it might bring back some memories!  https://youtu.be/N6n13f5BvC8

Of course it does.  I personally don't know.  Do you want Madeleine to be dead?

I don't want anything. I have always agreed with the Portuguese prosecutor;

to establish whether she is still alive or if she is dead, as seems more likely.

I'm just surprised that those who have spent years rejecting the possibilty that she died seem willing to accept it when a German prosecutor says she is.
