So if you think the McCanns dunnit then that automatically means you think Amaral's a top fella, is that how it works? OK, so let's move the debate on to the UK - how popular is Amaral with the GBP do you think?
Outside a certain small and vociferous percentage of the UK population, I would think he is almost unheard of.
When it comes to that small percentage of the population, I would think, judging by everything I can see, he is more popular.
This is not a popularity contest.
The issue was PR, and whether Amaral or the McCanns are better at it. The McCanns have been much more prominent in the UK, but they have managed too many PR gaffes. They don't need Amaral to win. They simply need to stop losing.
Relating this to the thread topic, the McCanns are akin to playing a game of sport that will only ever be played under Portuguese rules, without understanding those rules, whilst Amaral does.
Nowt to do with the case. Everything to do with the damages trial.
