Journalist Sonia Poulton promises "The untold story of Madeleine McCann".

"Gang" is the correct word.

Gang:-
a group of people with compatible tastes or mutual interests who gather together for social reasons:

What would you call them?  You have to go some to get suspended from Twitter.

Then clearly you can view groups of mccann supporters as 'gangs'.

Yep! A gang of people with similar interests.

I seriously think it would be a good idea for the Unfaithful to start a fund for Sonia now, I think she may need it, every little helps.

Good afternoon sir; clue us in on the definitions of "seriously" & "think" that you rely in this instance.
Some people are daft enough to start a fund for anything.
Remember the very short lived (thankfully) "Save Freddie Laker Fund" ?

I'll give her her due.  She actually writes quite well.

Why the hell did she get latched on to ridiculous and unsustainable theMcCannsdunit conspiracy theories?

And particularly as one whose own mental health seems, at times, to have been a little fragile, why on earth does she not have more compassion for a couple suffering the emotion and trauma of a missing (and quite possibly dead) loved and cherished daughter?

Is there a collective noun for twits?

Living as I do in a rural backwater where we have only recently dispensed with the services of village scribes, village readers and cleft stick runners I do not engage with (anti)social media.
However I note that if I Google: "Sonia Poulton Madeleine McCann Video" top of the shop is an item from this forum on December 26th 2014. Should that tell us something?

I have no idea, as to what you are referring, Alice, and I do not have the time to google search, so if you have something of importance to tell us, then please do

Apparently below is a quote from Sonia Poulton.     If I was a conspiracy theorist - I'd be a little bit worried about exactly what her video is going to be about?    Especially if I was one of the trolls who rushed to contact her - with the troof - and had given her all my details.

If that first paragraph has given me food for thought ... I think, were I one of Sonia Poulton's 'associates' ... it would be giving me banquets.

She certainly hasn't been much sought after of late ... and I think even she is intelligent enough able to read the runes that her present dalliances are most certainly not the way to rectify that situation.

However ... "The Untold Story" ... well in large part that certainly could be a well entitled piece which might even hit the MSM.
Oh the wonders of undercover investigative journalism!

I wonder if any of her 'researchers' or could that be 'interviewees' were stupid enough to 'Skype' her with their well thought out theories. 

She was rather effusive in her praise for them after all, saying she just couldn't have done it without them if memory serves me well ( I would have said she had a rather self satisfied grin on her face ... but how could one tell what it was?)

I think you have hit on something here, Benice.

Forget the McCann Dossier ... this one might actually cause much more collateral damage ... and get her talked about ... which I think is all she really cares about.

I'd watch her October video again, Brietta. That wasn't fake.

But what her strategy is with the film is anyone's guess.

Oh dear! I doubt in the general scheme of things much is of importance on here anyway, however moving swiftly on my point was there seems to be little of substance regarding the forth coming video from Sonia Poulton, that reveals all, if one "Googles" it. There may be a lot on tw(a)itter and facebook but is that relevant?

How can you possibly be so cruel ... isn't watching it once enough for anyone??

I wonder if she even knows what her strategy may turn out to be ... personally speaking, it will be very much what she intends to be good for her, so whatever it is it will be tailored to suit events at the time of release ... should it ever see the light of day ... and she has full ownership and editorial control of her material to do with basically as she pleases.

Joy oh Joy ... all that freedom of expression ... from someone trying to lever into mainstream ... a heaven sent once in a lifetime opportunity.

Had I contacted her in any way (Skype LOL) ... I would be reviewing very carefully what I may have said, bearing in mind the full editorial control thingy ... and maybe arranging an urgent date with my lawyer or my psychiatrist ... might be worth trying the insanity plea ... because it might work for any one giving her that amount of control.

Do you not think that having it all on here in one thread showing both sides, is much better than bits all over the place.

On saying that, however, I do believe that she has her own webpage/blog. How informative that is, I do not know.

And I agree that there seems to be very little  information anywhere about her forthcoming video documentary, on the web, except for forums.

Don't worry, I've never contacted her (apart from a few tweets)

But I think you may be right: she doesn't know the strategy (because it's far from easy, unless you really don't care about consequences).

Sonia Poulton has already stated that she doesn't care if this ends her "Journalistic Career", which is probably a good thing.
