The parents of Madeleine McCann have dismissed an astonishing attack from Rochdale's 'selfie queen' Karen Danczuk.
The estranged wife of MP Simon Danczuk accused Kate and Gerry McCann of “having guilt” for leaving their children alone, the Mirror reports .
She tweeted about claims that Karen Matthews, who faked her daughter Shannon’s kidnap in 2008, tried to con the McCanns out of £25,000.
Danczuk said: “Anyone who says McCanns are innocent, just remember they left 3 children under the age of 4 alone to go out. Either Way they have guilt! KD”

I think it's interesting to note hear that Mr and Mrs McCann were prepared to help Karen Matthews with money when it was believed her daughter had gone missing. And by a substantial amount.
That does tend to suggest that not only they are generous but also sympathized with her apparent predicament that was all too familiar to them and wanted to help. Luckily the police advised them not to as I assume they were already very suspicious of Karen

Already known.

Do you not think that it is relevant that they were prepared to help Karen Matthews?

Not especially.
Just PR.

Fair enough, although it's not PR as such if the intention was there and it hasn't been released to the public knowledge until now. That does tend to suggest their motives were honourable

...and that was released after the Supreme Court Decision, and increased antipathy for the McCann's.

It seems there is a sub strata of wannabees and never quite made its who assume that the way to achieve the publicity they so obviously crave is to exploit Madeleine McCann to do so.
If they imagine they may resurrect moribund careers which in almost all cases were less than glowing even in their hey day, I think they may have miscalculated.
It is entirely their choice if they wish to be associated and mentioned in the same breath with a person like Karen Matthews ... but I doubt there are many people who matter to them who do.
I think in this particular case "all publicity is good publicity" is a misnomer. Particularly if the reason for their outburst is so transparently self centred and venal.

In fact the Supreme Court Decision was also designed to increase the antipathy for the McCanns.

The newspapers exploit the case, and of course, the loveable 'sun' newspaper paid for the serialisation rights.
Then let's not forget Summers and Swan, who attempted to cash in on the case, as well.

Have you forgotten, that it was the Mccann's who took Amaral to court.
Doh.

Interesting first paragraph.

Dog.
Just to remind you the McCanns didn't write the Supreme Court judgement.

I can understand how the timing can viewed cynically, again though it is down to personal interpretation as to whether it was timed to counter the Supreme Court decision or not.

We knew as you have correctly found in this article that Matthews approached the McCanns but I don't think we were aware that Mr and Mrs McCann were going to offer her some money. Quite a considerable amount. Hasn't that detail only just come out and also that the police advised them not to?

I don't think it had PR value at the time.
