Martin Brunt might not be the right person to report on this issue.
Wasn't he the person who set these people off by wrongly reporting about 100% proof of Madeleine's DNA found in the rented car?
And then this information went on internet and was published in all major papers in the world.
Not everyone is reading papers all the time. There are people who don't care about Madeleine at all but had long time read the report that Madeleine was hidden in her parent's rented car.. this made their opinion and once the opinion is made it is really hard to overturn it.
Regarding the abusers.. there are people who are obsessed with the McCanns.. I have a feeling they don't think about anything else but the McCanns. Maybe this is a mental illness, maybe this is their way of escaping the reality.Their brain just compares everything with the McCanns every little story that is mentioned on the news or in the media.
I followed Madeleine story from the day one. I was there when the hate campaign started, it was on the Mirror forum. Anyone remembers this?
There are people in the world who have no offline friends, who have lousy lives and are not respected or recognised in their own communities. In anti McCann campaign they found their own importance, they formed friendships with the people who think the same.. outside this group they know they are nobodies.
A classic propaganda technique, dehumanise the enemy !
Really didn't work this time though did it because apart from her on-line behaviour ( do we know yet what she tweeted/posted ) Sweepyface, or whatever she is called, seemed just like you and me as she was leaving her very nice house in a very quaint little village to go for lunch with a friend. She was decently dressed, erudite and not easily intimidated even when being shamelessly doorstepped by Martin Brunt.
The compiler of the dossier, on the other hand, chose to remain anonymous but from what she said she did come across as just a tad obsessed. Of course the dossier was leaked to the press by her. It was sent to the Met on the 9th of September but having, I suppose, gotten fed up waiting for her fifteen minutes of fame she did the dirty deed herself. The Met for their part, from their statement, seemed less than convinced that any action would result and quite right too.
From the number of new members joining the sceptic Facebook groups today this seems to have been another massive own goal for the MCanns. The information sites have also seen a dramatic rise in hits too. The public can't be forced to trust the McCanns and will carry on asking questions no matter what the consequences.
Kate and Gerry will never achieve what they want most which is to be washed clean of the guilt that hangs over them like a shroud. The public simply won't forget that their selfishness in all probability cost their child her life.
And you can stick that in your dossier !
