Pick any sentence from Kate's book.

Yeah, let's have some photos of REAL Kate distress to pore over, good idea.

The self-imposed distress , I presume.

Real distress ? Are there any ? Now if you'd asked for ear to ear grins shall we start with the puppet theatre ones, only a few weeks after Madeleine's disappearance, and work forward from there?

Yeah let's - that would be super entertaining.

[Robittybob1]

What is this thing you have for shining ?

I could make a suggestion.

Of course you could for I'm trying to figure you out.

[faithlilly]

Entertaining, no. Interesting perhaps.

Incidentally, considering you believe she knew her child came to a sticky end accidentally, and that you concede she did love her daughter (sort of) how do you account for the fact that Kate McCann was so completely distress-free in the weeks following Madeleine's disappearance?  I'm sure you've got a very plausible explanation.

Don't be coy - you know it's great sport to pore over pictures of Kate.... why don't you put some more up for us to sneer at?

[Alfie]

How about this one?  Doesn't she look carefree and full of fun?   How do you account for it?

I don't think I said she was distress free did I ? I said rthere was very few photographs of the phenomena. There are, however, quite a few of her looking, shall we say, less than distressed. Cue the trite excuses.

Here's another one of them looking relaxed and happy

So you don't think losing a daughter really caused her that much grief then? 

You should go and see the new film about Nick Cave as a study in what losing a child does to a person, a family and then try and explain why, in your view, Madeleine's accidental death was no biggie to this particular family.

Isn't that from the same series as the one above?

[Robittybob1]

she looks really happy here too.

[Alfie]

Isn't that from the same series as the one above?

And your point is?

There you go again putting words into my mouth Alfie. I'm sure the McCanns were grief-stricken at losing their daughter.
