What about that one .the twins weren't even there,..it was Maddies birthday
You really are dredging the bottom of the barrel with that one it is such a well known example of 'tampering' to make a true event untrue it has become somewhat of a celebrated cliché.
In fact I thought it had become so well known that not even the most dyed in the wool sceptics bothered with it anymore, seems I was mistaken so here we go yet again with the debunk.
Someone went to the bother of misrepresenting a brief moment recorded on video when birthday balloons startled everyone around. Including Madeleine's grieving parents. People round about can also be heard on the soundtrack laughing on what was a very sombre occasion.
It was a brief moment.
Another still from the same video would tell a completely different story, but the McCanns laughing was the story wanted.
The image is true insofar as it goes when taking and using a fleeting moment to be frozen in time from one still video frame taken out of context out of the thousands available.
It has been made into a lie because it doesn't reflect the reality of how Kate and Gerry really looked after the service marking Madeleine's birthday, as a look at the rest of the video will reveal.
It is beyond me why people go out of their way to promote misconceptions such as this. But I think that a cause which requires deceit to promote a message is suspect and would ordinarily cause a logical person to question why it is necessary if the cause is a valid one.
