“A Laughable Story”

[Vertigo Swirl]

They were warned by Alex Woolfall in the beginning that the media could turn on them, and by Jon Corner that it was becoming the Kate and Gerry show and they chose to carry on. According to Gerry McCann he feared intrusion as soon as he saw the reporters on 4th May, but he trotted out to talk to them regardless and continued to interact thereafter. He did it for his daughter, he said, but he still complained bitterly when the media printed stories he didn't like. Even the US media mentioned neglect, it wasn't all positive out there.

”trotted out”, “complained bitterly” “false stories”, “courting the media”, “shock, horror”,: “their pronouncements”, “90% pure rubbish” - do you see how contemptuous your language is when writing about the McCanns?  And you wonder why people see you as utterly biased and full of contempt?

Some people fir various reasons  simply lsck empathy

And some people are just plain nasty.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Sceptices would have you believe that after disposing of their daughter’s body, far from feeling under immense pressure at the possibility of being caught out in the lie, the McCanns actively sought out the public scrutiny and delighted in the attention of the world’s media.  These same sceptics however baulk at describing Kate and Gerry as psychopaths, which IMO they would both have to be, in order to get their kicks in such a way.   Odd people, sceptics, IMO.

What false stories?   The shutters?   FGS

Yes, the shutters, and;

She was worried by the fact that there were only two police officers in the place and thought that the police were not helping her with anything

Kate was still frustrated and anguished and felt that nobody was doing anything to help find Madeleine. She told me that the police had left in the morning and returned around 09H30 and that now only a few agents with sniffer dogs were in the locale.

Kate contacted me by phone, she was devastated and appeared lost. She said that judging from the action of the local police, one would think that she "had lost a dog".

And a family friend was reported to have said the parents were certain that the girl had been abducted - but this was unconfirmed.

She said: “They were just watching the hotel room and going back every half-hour and the shutters had been broken open and they had gone into the room and taken Madeleine.

“They went out about eight, went back in at nine, they were fine, went back in at 10 and she was gone.”

There were definitely two messages being relayed in my opinion.

1. Madeleine had been abducted.
2. The PJ were inadequate.

They were certainly proactive. They worked the phones tirelessly immediately and made sure their messages were absorbed and passed on; their child had been abducted and the police were inadequate.

I think he enjoyed the attention her disappearance brought.

When I see photographs of Madeleine’s parents in the weeks after her disappearance it’s hard not to compare them to the anguished photographs of Lesley Ann Downey’s mother in the same time frame. Very much the same event but the reaction worlds apart.

There are many anguished photographs of the McCann's in the same time frame.  Maybe you should let them know they didn't cry on cue for you.

Did you ever consider the possiblity that their child HAD been abducted and that the McCanns had good grounds for considering that the police response WAS inadequate?  No of course you didn.t.

If you had a network of people who could help locate your missing child, wouldn’t you make use of it?

Well good for them   if it had been my child I would have done the same.   Things weren't  moving fast enough for them which is understandable they could see time ticking away and wanted to do something to help.  Wouldn't you want to do everything possible if your child were missing?

These are the false stories?  Well they must be guilty so many misquoted sentences,  show that to a judge and he'd laugh in your face.

Care to supply some of these ‘anguished photographs’ ?

[Vertigo Swirl]

Sceptics prefer it if the parents  of missing children cry a lot, preferably every time they appear on telly, which is hardly ever as in the sceptics’ opinion it’s  shameless self promotion and done for enjoyment, not for the good of the missing child and so definitely to be frowned on.  Also, in between crying fits and keeping out of the limelight as much as possible, parents of missing children must be out from dawn until dusk, knocking on every door of every house of every village, town and city, forever until they drop dead or the child is found, which ever comes first.  If they have the misfortune to become the police’s chief suspects they must cooperate fully, take part in reconstitutions and do everything in their power to prove their innocence, because at the end of the day it’s on them to prove the police are barking up the wrong tree.  If they fail to do so, they must submit fully to the judicial process and take their punishment on the chin (or between the eyes, or on the knees, or wherever else the blows land) without complaint.

Why, for you to sneer at?

You made a claim, it’s up to you to substantiate it.
