Brenda Leyland found dead in a hotel room.

[Anna]

Sorry I am finding it hard to read the twiter feed. Is this a tweet from BL:

487161603864166400|Thu Jul 10 09:09:12 +0000 2014|#mccann  I find it difficult to have any trust in UK govt or police because of this, luckily, I do not reside in UK, sad state of affairs

If it is then it means she did not full time reside in the UK.

They are all her tweets, Vixte. If you scroll to the right, you won't get all the post numbers etc

So she claims in there she did not full time reside in the UK.. this is why I asked if she lived in Portugal.

Probably trying to cover her tracks

Perhaps the thread should have started with a note of the following legislation ... it might perhaps have led to a more informed debate ... it certainly does clarify what is and what is not legitimate free speech.

Working my way steadily through the thread.

This is a useful post, I think.

You simply can't have a rule that people who dish out abuse on the internet will be excused scrutiny for fear that if they are called to account, they might take their own life, tragic though such an outcome unquestionably is.

And it's also pertinent to remember that Kate has been suicidal and Kate and Gerry have both on the receiving end of vile abuse, from so many quarters.

Indeed, Brenda Leyland herself, challenged by Brunt about some of her more unsavoury comments, replied that's my right.

What's to say?

When I saw her tanned plus this tweet I thought she might be one of the group of British property owners in PT who stared losing money as a result of Madeleine's disappearance.

This is why I asked.

It was not up to the media to scrutinise her. It was up to the proper authorities to decide whether she had broken any law with her tweets.

' It somehow reminded me of another appalling end, that of the critic Walter Benjamin who, like Brenda Leyland, wandered like a wraith, a spectre, for his last hours, apparently completely alone and beyond the reach of a helping arm, before deciding, at length, that he had to die.'

does it matter where she lived she  killed herself  because  of a   sick person  who tweeted the most   vile  things yet   mcann  supporters  seem to  think  she deserved what she got

Just as its up to the proper authorities to decide if the McCanns have broken any laws...not a bunch of hounders...including Brenda Leyland

Nobody actually has any idea why she killed hersef only her and if there was no note she may well have taken the reason to her grave

The lady tweeted hatred against the McCanns. Read her tweets.
Do you condone that Carly?

Well it ever was thus with some.
This thread has degenerated into the vultures picking over the corpse of a dead woman's tweets to no real end. No matter how those who think they have, nay have stated they have, a higher intellect may like to dress it up that's what it is.
All the self righteous mock indignation from some on here makes one want to puke.

Very pointed first post Poppy.

Have you been sent to fight a rearguard action against the mounting disgust over the stalking by some of Brenda Leyland by any chance ?

What makes me want to puke is the insults the mcccanns have suffered over the last 7 years .....far more than Brenda Ryan
