[Mr Gray]

The media are very powerful aren't they?

She was very  - unsure is probably the best word to use - a couple of years back.  And for some time used to post quite sarcastic comments about everyone still discussing things all these years on!! But, as I said, the Crimewatch programme plus the Sunday Times article seems to have set her of thinking things through again.   Whether this is the media being powerful or people realising that things can be looked at in other ways, is another discussion

or something could have happened in her personal life...we haven't really got a clue

There's a facebook page that I lurk on that had in the region of 2,000 likes before crime watch. It's nearly 16,000 now.

It's an open group so you can read it without joining. I've never joined it as I find some of the stuff on there very distasteful


." Detectives are monitoring the internet for vile messages about the couple after a Facebook group targeting the pair attracted 11,000 members."

That's a couple of weeks old now. The numbers have risen since.

could you pm me a link

maybe the Detectives are monitoring this forum for nasty vile posts about the McCann's  .... >@@(*&)

Yeah, I think so. Still doesn't change the fact that it's grown exponentially since crime watch does it?

davel - she said what had made her re-think things, and I have outlined them.

If they are monitoring, this forum will be way down their list.

 If members are recruiting friends then it would grow exponentially...but these friends would be unlikely to recruit further so it would  slow down

I PM'ed you a link. Have a browse. Maybe you'll see how moderate all us '[ censored word]'s' on here are then1

That is two people among a limited number on one forum.  You then only have to read the comments on the Yahoo news report site to see how feelings have changed, also, and the CrimeWatch programme added to that also

I believe one sceptic group on Facebook has gone from just over 2,000 members to over 16,000 since Crimewatch and the ST revelations and many of the new members, they say, were very supportive of the McCanns in the past. You really can't argue with those kinds of figures.

Behave Sadie. The prime suspect for six and a half years is dismissed and immediately replaced by another that had mostly been ignored for five years?

No wonder people were >@@(*&) after Crimewatch.
