There was (apparently) a contribution to the Amaral's fund from the Metropolitan Police ...

That cannot possibly be right, not on any month of sundays!!

Well I didn't want to be too controversial by saying all of the public contributions and then some. About 200 grand some.

Correct ... one is audited ... the other is not.

The same people who insist on transparency for one are insistent the other remains secretive.  So absolutely no comparison whatsoever.

One NEEDS to be audited, the other doesnt, why does it bother you so  much, millions versus a few thousand, oh i know....

That sums attitudes up very well indeed.  One has been legally set up to be open and above board ... the other has been set up to be in private hands and as inscrutable as Confucius.

It bothers me not at all ... but arrant hypocrisy should not pass unremarked.

Even if audited it still remains secret, did you just not GET that bit???

Well, actually there is an other difference. One party owning a fund due to their negligence in losing their daughter? and claiming to be transparent but isn't; is not the same as another party trying to find the said missing child which the other party lost.  One has the higher  of moral high grounds my dear. ALSO it wasn't Amaral himself who set up his account unlike the party who lost the child.   I bet you are glad I unconfused that for you or in other plain speak.. Is that clear enough!

The fund was set up because something had to be done with the money people were sending to the McCanns.   They could have just put it into their own private bank account and said thankyou very much.   But they didn't.

IMO the word 'moral' cannot be attributed with any credibility to a corrupt cop with a criminal record to prove it.





The notion that innocence prevails over guilt – when there is no evidence to the contrary – is what separates civilization from barbarism.    Unfortunately, there are remains of barbarism among us.    Until very recently, it headed the PJ in Portimão. I hope he was the last one.

In about a month, I will resurrect this thread again (if it needs resurrecting) to ask what news (if any) there is of Amaral's appeal ....

my point is that the person who bleats on about his human rights covered up the savage beating of a suspect in police custody...and posters think he is honourable because they do not realise this is true

So? do you believe that he is not entitled to fair representation at law because he committed perjury several years ago and has discharged his sentence in that respect ?

absolutely not but I think his supporters should be aware of the true facts of his conviction and the lies told about his actions and his views exposed
