Oh, I expect some tabloid hack with a few inches to fill will eventually do so...

Perhaps the Express will pick it up to follow on from the 'bike ride'

Has it occurred to you Anna, that the mccanns are not as popular as you think they are, and many people are just plain tired of their PR machine ?

I would actually say, bar the extremes which exist on both sides, the comments pages are probably more than reflective of opinion towards the mccanns.

Several of the day’s donors commented this was “news worth celebrating”, but more than one suggested the story is “unlikely to be covered by mainstream media”.

Why not?

So is he appealing against the amount of damages?

Gonçalo Amaral has today filed his appeal against the €500,000-plus damages awarded against him in a civil case taken out by the parents of Madeleine McCann.

I wonder why only Donn is reporting this great day in Portugal, for Gonzo

if he is only appealing against the amount of damages then that is an acceptance of the judges ruling of the facts in the case

Hmmm ... are you saying it is up to the McCann 'PR machine' to publish the news coming out of Portugal?  I rather thought that was the job of journalists and the news media?

Good question, seeing as how hugely popular Amaral is in his homeland, surely today is a day of national celebration in Portugal, not just in Trollington, UK?

You're trying to twist words again.

The mccanns have repeatedly used PR advisers to try and garnish sympathy.

Right from the start.

You can be assured that Gonçalo Amaral is appealing against much more than the amount of damages.

If it's truth that guides the great man then why has he got a conviction for perjury...?  &%+((£
