Pick any sentence from Kate's book.

You are reading something into that post which was neither said ... nor was it implied.  In my opinion that you think it was is entirely a matter for you and your conscience.

What is plainly obvious Brietta, is the number of photographs the Mccanns posed for, either individually or together.

For people to employ PR reps, as they did so early on, implied directly they were having their 'public image' massaged, to garnish sympathy, such as the one G-Unit posted.

Whilst some people may believe they were done merely to advertise the disappearance of Madeleine, it is not the impression others would get.

Likewise, all the way since the onset of this case, photos of a young Madeleine have been published worldwide. At the start I could comprehend that, but not now.

I believe that she is dead, as do many other people. Some like you hope by some chance she might still be alive. So can you explain, if the latter was true, how continuous publication of the old photos helps in the 'search' ?

Loads of pics of Kerry Needham posing here and looking sad - should we sneer?

I don't want to, it's not very pleasant behaviour, sneering at a mother's efforts to publicise her missing child in an effort to find him or her..

Can you give me a link to photographs that were not in connection with Madeleine being missing and just taken to what you call garnish sympathy?

You are entitled to your opinion and so is everyone else.   I will keep hoping Madeleine is still alive until it is proven otherwise.

There must be a reason for showing the old photo's as it seems old photo's are used for all missing children,  take Ben Needham for instance,  even though they may show a photo of what he may look like now they also show photo's of him how he looked when he went missing.   It could perhaps jog a memory.

They only seem to sneer at the McCann's for some reason,  strange that.

As well as having a missing child both women share the characteristic of shyness.  It has been extremely difficult for both to push themselves to the forefront to keep their children in the public consciousness.
Kate McCann has had the double edged sword of the benefits and drawbacks of the internet age; but Kerry Needham too found herself being excoriated for being seen laughing with her daughter.

I have seen Kate described as quieter than her husband, but he was pretty loud, confident and and very extroverted, like Madeleine and all his family. He told Jane Hill in an interview;

She's a complete, errm... she might look like Kate but in terms of personality she's much more of a McCann. She's very extroverted and lively, you know, vivacious, she's...

Bridget O'Donnell heard him from her balcony;

One man was the joker. He had a loud Glaswegian accent. He was Gerry McCann

Russell said;

me and Jane are slightly more kind of err sort of reticent sort of people and certainly you know Gerry and to a lesser extent Kate are certainly more slightly more extrovert

It's a load of nonsense Alfie,   who can pose for a photograph when told to and look natural?   Top that with the fact that they had lost a child and that is why they were being photographed.   No doubt the photographer would have been telling them how to pose.   

For god sake parents are shown and asked how to pose for wedding photo's !!!!

why should they have to be told how to have a picture taken.why should the photographer have to help

I doubt very much if they knew how to pose,  the photographer probably helped.

When you say "staged" ... do you mean ... 'not the done thing'?  Everyone poses to one degree or another in front of a camera ~ is there any good reason why Kate McCann and Gerry McCann are singled out for opprobrium?
