Why don't the McCanns put up Madeleine posters abroad like they ask of others?

[faithlilly]

If Kate McCann wants holidaymakers to keep Madeleine in the forefront of people's minds why didn't she, on her recent trip to PDL, take age progressed posters with her and put them up wherever she could ?

We are told in the article above that there are no reminders of Madeleine in the town so why wasn't that rectified by Kate when she visited ?

We had a rather more subtle suggestion last week that the family were still carrying on with their own investigation, which of course would need money to fund it. This week there's no subtlety. You can download posters, for free, from the internet, yet we are not told this. What this article seems to be about is bringing money into the fund, and with the SY review now taking place and  no expensive awareness initiatives planned you have to ask yourself why the money is needed ?

How do you know she didn't take posters with her out of interest?

Isn't it possible that posters were put up and then removed again by disgruntled locals or owners of holiday businesses who don't wish the punters to be reminded that there is still an abductor on the loose?

It's a possibility you have to admit!

If they had been don't you think it would have been reported, as it was when Madeleine's poster was defaced ?

I'm afraid you really are clutching at straws now Martha.

In my opinion a better question for "Faithlilly" to ask herself is why, if the McCanns are involved in the disappearance of their daughter, they are a) still making trips to Portugal and b) still seemingly keen to keep on with the investigation into their daughter's disappearance, even (according to "Faithlilly" herself) re-hiring detectives?

The answer is obvious.

The McCanns are desperate for the various agencies of law enforcement (British and/or Portuguese) to uncover the proof of their (the McCanns') guilt, silly ...

Are you saying it is an impossibility that posters put up in windows were not quietly removed once Kate had left PdL - on what basis do you arrive at this conclusion? Just because the Express didn't report it?  Oh dear, talk about straw clutching....

No posters on the church noticeboard ? No posters in the shops of, what we are told, supportive ex-pats ? No mention of Kate pinning up posters, even though her visit was covered extensively in several newspapers ? No mention of leaflets handed out ? In fact no capitalising at all on a ready-made photo opportunity to raise awareness.

No, I don't think you believe that either.

Re the holiday packs which contain "10 posters showing Madeleine as she would look today with the message “Have you seen me?” in English, two luggage tags, two wallet cards and a car sticker" - these sell for £1.75.

How much profit do you imagine the McCanns might make selling these in order to put towards their "litigation fund"?

Who knows.

I am sure someone once told me that if you want to stick up posters in the UK you need permission,though I may be wrong.  Maybe you need permission in Portugal.  Anyone know about this?

And, if permission was needed, which i don't think for one minute it was, it couldn't have been sought before she travelled ?

I don't know or I wouldn't have asked.   I just wondered if anyone knew.

Like this one was. And the ones some cretin from 3A's, was telling all to rip them down. I'm sure she knows who she is!

[faithlilly]

Exactly like that.

Who knows.

Well can't you even have an educated guess?!

No.

Why ever not?  I thought you were supposed to be intelligent!  £1.75 for 15 items is 11p per unit.  Do you think they  are making much profit on them?

As they say on all the best adverts, every little helps !!

[faithlilly]

Here's the thing. If keeping awareness of Madeleine's plight high is now the only purpose  of the fund, why not give the packs out for free ? Donations will pay for the printing of the packs and their postage and that they're free will,in turn, encourage more people to display them.

Good idea ?

I wonder, "Faithlilly" if you have had a chance to ask yourself the question I posed to you above?  It seems far more pertinent than the lame one you posted in your OP.

I know you are used to 'steering' the agenda on your partisan forums but this is not one of those. Your question is off topic and therefore I am not obliged to answer it. If you want to ask me a question can I suggest you start a thread of your own where I may, or may not, choose to answer it.
