Were the advisers all that they were made out to be?

[Redblossom]

Hadn't thought of that, Red.

Nonetheless, there is a proven medical link between the two conditions, which the McCanns must have been aware of.

Perhaps after the LOOK confusion, they were advised not to use too many personal details in the campaign.

Oh come off it Sherlock you cant use thr  "advisers" card for everything

 

IF there was any worry about  it they would have mentioned it, advisers or not, obviously they either thought or knew there was no problem

Either cos there wasnt one in general or if there was it wouldnt  matter if she was already dead!

I don't. As you know I'm pretty critical of how they have handled quite a few things, and often use the word 'advisers'  to suggest that there in fact aren't any - or any that are being listened to. If there were more good advisers in this case, a lot of  things would have been played very differently, IMO.

When you say, and it's often, that they were badly advised, in fact you mean that they weren't advised at all or didn't listen to good advisers ?

I noticed and I cant keep up with it, Gery and Kate dont seem the type  to heed any advice at all IMO not even police instructions! In fact they and their mates took control from the very first minute

Oh I must have got wrong end of the stick then, sorry

Yes, 'badly advised' can be used ironically.

I will make it more clear in the future!

They were taught by Mr Woolfall the jungle law and were excellent pupils : manipulate otherwise you'll be manipulated.

It's called subtlety, Anne.

Though the French far surpass us at it.

That's right Red, I was being ironic.

Spent half the day on the other thread noting how they defy SY publicly!

Too subtle for me ! A fortiori since the McCanns have had legal advisors and a spinning doctor from the very beginning..

Well, there's a little problem, imo, what they know is a thing, what their advisers know another one..

And it's even more of a mystery if you believe they're innocent, believe me!
