Your disgusting post is what I have come to expect from you.
It shows that you cannot support your claim with any evidence at all.
It shows that you are only able to post abuse rather than engage in debate.
Everyone who reads your post will see that you are simply hiding from the question I posed to you.
I repeat.
Can you show us any evidence that Kate or Gerry McCann ever made a claim that the fund would be as transparent as a charity or are you simply making it up.
So far you have not managed to show anything other than that you are an abusive poster. Could you please return to the actual topic instead of posting personal abuse towards me and answer the question.
I remind you that there is a very good reason why you should answer and that is the T&C which you signed up to on joining this forum. You are supposed to back up what you state as fact with some kind of evidence.
Either you are simply too idle to bother or you don't have anything to back up what you have stated. Either way, its you who can be seen to have run away from the debate, not me.
I await your evidence and will debate that when it appears.
Your abuse is not really worth debating. Everyone can see what a moron it makes you look.

Join the dots, so sorry Mr and Mrs M did not say it verbatim!!
So no *invention* of mine as you accuse, along with several other *inventions* you accuse me of, do read

Fund Raising
We thank you for your interest in fund raising to support Madeleine's fund. Many donations have resulted from a variety of fund raising events. These have included Car Boot sales, jumble sales, school cake sales, race nights, sponsored runs & cycle events, ‘dress down' days, auctions & ‘cheese & wine' nights.
These events have further highlighted Madeleine's plight as well as bringing many people together to have fun whilst working towards one common goal.
We would be grateful if you are considering fund raising that you do not refer to Madeleine's fund as a registered charity as it is not.
