Do the McCanns have the same support eight years on?

[stephen25000]

Among discerning observers of events, support for the McCanns is as strong as ever it was.

The casual observer probably has remained unaffected by shenanigans of scurrilous bloggers, tweeters and whatever else, remain convinced of the truth (that Madeleine was abducted) and continue to entertain hope that the crime will be solved (ideally, with Madeleine being found alive and well, or failing that, that culprit(s) will be brought to book and the McCanns will have closure of, at least, knowing what happened).

You love your fantasies don't you ferryman.

P.S. No evidence to support abduction.

You do remind me of an infamous German propagandist.

You keep saying that SY have hit a brick wall,  that there is no evidence of abduction.

Yet there is no evidence that they are following Amaral's theory is there?    All this money all this time,   if they believed Amaral's theory then it would have ended a long time ago wouldn't it?

Some Portuguese cop is supposedly have spoken to a journalist and said 'they don't know what happened to Madeleine,  they are no nearer knowing than they were in 2007'    well if that's the case,  they didn't believe Amaral's theory did they?

As regards Amaral, the forensicxs were inconclusive.

As to abduction, [ moderated ]

What planet are you living on ?

Support for the mccanns has manifestly decreased.

They did OK with ordinary people sending them messages of hope and support at Christmas last year ... shall we count the Christmas wishes this year to check for any increase or reduction?

This is not about believing anyone's theory, its about proving beyond doubt what actually happened to Madeleine.

Well if you want to play the stupid numbers game, how many people didn't send the mccanns messages of hope and support ?

Shiver me timbers ... and here was me thinking it all revolved around stupid number games ... until you are presented with a number which doesn't fit with your view.  Very strange.

Glad you said that because it is something that appears to have been overlooked over the years by those who have flung every obstacle possible and every ill wish possible in the path of people who have been toiling to do just that ... find out what happened to Madeleine and if possible to return her to her family.

I'm not the one who is deluded in thinking the mccanns have mass support.

So why aren't the PJ quizzing the McCann's?   having them do a reconstruction?

Why did they investigate tractor man?

Why ask me? - I'm not part of their team.

We inhabit a very tiny incestuous corner of the of the internet and tend to mistake it sometimes for the 'real' world.

There actually is a huge constituency out there inhabited in large part by normal people who would never understand or condone those who would injure a missing child through association, by the campaigns of hostility directed against her parents.

These people have nothing but support and sympathy for an innocent child and the family who have been deprived of her presence for over eight years.

There are also many people out there who don't believe the mccanns story, and have no sympathy for people who endangered their children, whilst they went out drinking and eating.

I think a lot of the people who have no sympathy for the McCann's [and that is entirely up to them]  for leaving their children,   also don't believe the McCann's story of abduction purely because they have already singled out the McCann's as these nasty people who cannot love their children because they went out to dinner and left them.  These people think because the McCann's made a very stupid decision to leave their children they are also capable of covering up the death of their child and staging an abduction.

The very same people however,  fail to read the Police files correctly,   believe all the myths flying around about blood spatter etc. and will not even consider that the McCann's are innocent even though SY have said so.

It's not up to SY to declare 'innocence' or not.

That's a court does.

Meanwhile, no evidence of abduction which can'y point in a different direction.
