Have most people given up on finding Madeleine alive?

Look now.  This is all very funny, but could we get back On Topic before I get the sack.

All comments pertaining to me getting the sack will be deleted.

Do you have any proof that they did?  It is you making the accusation, you  prove it.  Of you go now, you  have contacts who made it their business to attend court, go and ask them.

Or indeed appeal the judge's decision as they did when she refused them leave to make a personal statement. That's if they felt the emotional protection of their was paramount.

If it ever happened. Wasn't it a hearsay report of what somebody told somebody else?

Silly me! I thought talking about Amaral's Thesis in/on the UK meeja was verboten?
Anyway a bunch of school kids on a bus would be plugged into iPods, tablets or lozenges would they not?

I would think so - certainly unlikely to be eagerly listening to the the drivers choice.

Primary school children are not permitted to take electronic devices into school.

There'd been enough delay and prevarication already by that point without prolonging the agony any further with an appeal.  The fact is you have failed to demonstrate that the McCanns fought to have the trial conducted in public.  It was Amaral who fought to have it held in camera.  Anything else is in your imagination.

What isn't my imagination is that Amaral DID fight to have the trial heard 'in camera' to protect Madeleine ' if she was still alive', an outcome her parents didn't seem to fussed about.

All schools or some schools?
The only one I can find that has its policy on that tinternet is near the school for young Knights Templar that J-P was referring to the other day (in jest I hope).

The driver is permitted to have the radio or telly on at moderate volume.
Dashed unsporting of the BBC to have a talk of Amarals Thesis though.

Amaral was more interested in protecting his own reputation than protecting maddie....His book says she died in the apartment so isn't this something of a contradiction

"to protect Madeleine" from what?  Amaral staked his entire reputation on the thesis that the child was already dead having been pumped full of parent-administered calpol, deep frozen, unthawed and shoved in a hole by said parents.  How did holding the trial in private aim to protect her, in his view?  Did he explain??  &%+((£
