Anti-McCann ? I never had this feeling reading Blacksmith who, very rightly, fought conspiracy maniacs and criticized globally and pertinently the self called anti and pro.
Blacksmith has a tendency to take himself for a sort of Hercule Poirot, but I never observed bitterness.
It was Blacksmith who brought us
Murat v TannerIt was Blacksmith who erroneously suggested Gerry had said his feeling that the abductor was in the apartment at the time of his final check was
at the time rather than (what he actually said)
retrospectiveIt was Blacksmith who suggested Amaral parted company with Cabrita because Cabrita had become critically (possibly terminally) ill. All polite enquiries about Snr Cabrita's health since have been met with hostile shrugs of indifference.
And I suppose it wouldn't be completely true to form if Bennett didn't (partially) spoil a blast of plain common sense with a silly conspiracy theory of some sort ...
But some encouraging signs.
He still needs work, though ...
