Imo it can be considered "suspicious" if there is a mountain of evidence against a suspect which points to their guilt and they refuse to explain any of it .

As for the McCanns I thought at the time how ridiculous it was that they were arrested and made suspects.

More breathtaking snobbery.

Are you trying to pretend that the average Sun reader is a free thinking intellectual rather than a intellectually stunted little Englander ?

It is a personal opinion.

Back up your opinion with cites.
Cites which prove your post is correct.

Even more breathtaking snobbery, typical of the middle class lefty -  total contempt for the working class of this country. 
BTW it's "an intellectually stunted little Englander".

Its a problem over there for sure.
Moderation
John has instructed all moderators to take a very strong line with posters who constantly breach the rules of this forum.  This sniping, goading, name calling and other various forms of disruption will cease.

Apologies. Sometimes my iPad does its own thing.

As to my contempt for the working class, not so. What I do have contempt for are the readers of a poisonous rag who use it simply to feed their racist, bigoted and masochinistic views.

Did Kate use the word "Bullshit"?

That she did, Robitty.

As we know the unrelenting propaganda campaign directed against her included bullshit about her mental state and bullshit about her inability to cope with her children.

I don't usually use the descriptive word myself but considering the utterly unsubstantiated rubbish appearing in the Portuguese press and copied to tabloids elsewhere ... I think her description of it all remarkably restrained.
"All I'm going to say is that we've conducted a very serious investigation and there's no indication that Madeleine McCann's parents are connected to her disappearance. On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence pointing out that Christian killed her," Wolter told the "Friday at 9"....

I note your post to me has been removed and rightly so.
I have never made any derogatory post towards the Portuguese people.

What's a masochinistic view?  It seems to me you have decided that all readers of the Sun are "masochinistic (sic), racist and bigoted which is, in itself quite a bigoted view in my opinion. 

ETA: the Sun has a "multiplatform" reach of over 7 million - what a lot of racist bigots with masochinistic views!

If the ‘ unsubstantiated rubbish’ first appeared in the Portuguese press why not sue them ? Why go after the UK tabloids?

The word "shit" has been used on this forum to describe Madeleine's parents.
So adding the bull to that word should hardly cause such a stramash.

Apologies again misogynistic.

Tell me VS, do you read the Sun and if not why not ?

The same reason I don't tend to buy any tabloid.  Personal choice.  That doesn't mean I despise people that do, or stereotype them all as racists and misogynists as you seem to.
