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

[gilet]

As Kate herself admits to being untruthful regarding the events surrounding the re-scheduled trip perhaps your faith in her honesty is somewhat misplaced ?

Does she? Evidence?

From Madeleine :

'We’d never lied about anything – not to the police, not to the media, not to anyone else. But now we found ourselves in one of those tricky situations where we just didn’t seem to have a choice. As it happened, Gerry had a mild stomach upset which we used as an excuse to postpone the trip. We didn’t feel good about this at all, but even if the judicial secrecy law had not prevented us from giving the main reason, can you imagine what would have happened if we’d announced to the journalists heading for Huelva that the police were coming to do some forensic work in our villa? We were not to know our excuse would prove to be no more than a temporary holding measure. If we had, we wouldn’t have bothered trying to keep the scurrilous headlines at bay.'

How in the name of the Lord does that indicate that she was admitting to being untruthful?

They gave a valid reason about the stomach upset.  Nothing whatsoever untruthful about that.

They were NOT ALLOWED to mention the other reason. So they were obeying the law by not mentioning that.

Your sad and ineffective attempts to claim that Kate lied have failed. You have been found out because you actually do not have any evidence of any lies at all do you?

[faithlilly]

Here we go again.  Kate McCann did not admit to being untruthful.  The McCanns used Gerry's mild stomach upset as an excuse not to go to Huelva whilst the police conducted their searches. That Kate tells us this in her best-selling book for the whole world to read hardly constitutes dishonesty as far as I'm concerned, but obviously  to a "sceptic" Kate's candour can usefully be twisted into a "lie".  Same old same old.

I think it is absolutely disgraceful that Faithlilly has posted this libelous claim about Kate McCann but is so far unable to offer any evidence as to its origin.

It looks as if she simply has no evidence to offer.

You have clearly shown that there is no justification for such a claim in the book.

So we are still waiting for her to explain.

Don't worry gilet I don't expect flowers, a simple apology will do 

[Mrs. B]

So Gerry had a stomach upset, that's the reason they gave to journalists, instead of breaking the law & risking jail to tell them there was also ANOTHER reason to postpone the Huelva trip. Good, so no lying then, glad that was established.

She admitted to lying ( even used to word lied  ) yet you know better than Kate herself.

This is beyond parody now and rapidly galloping towards farce 

[Mrs. B]

LOL Yes, I must admit, it's farcical. So she didn't lie about Gerry's stomach complaint, but was prevented by Portuguese law to divulge to journalists that there was an ADDITIONAL reason for the postponement. & that's proof that Kate McCann is a liar? Dear me....yes, farcical.

[Mrs. B]

OK, can we see some proof of the McCann and the rest of the Tapas group being broke before 2007?

This point was already discussed ad nauseam on this forum a few weeks ago I believe and once again it is another example of how the "sceptics" twist things to suit their agenda.  "Faithlilly" will victoriously post up a quote from the book as her proof  (don't you find it funny how Kate's book is used as evidence when it suits but can safely be ignored when it doesn't suit?)

I find it totally hypocritical that they swing from condemning Kate McCann's book as a pack of lies to having total faith in every word in it when it suits their murky agenda.

The most wonderful example of that hypocrisy came about an hour ago when Redblossom lambasted amaraltheofficeboy for using a quote from the book but then found it had been her fellow anti McCann who had done the quoting. Not only did she prove she can't follow threads properly but she then hysterically tried to back track and pretend it was all an honest mistake.

Sheer nasty hypocrisy.

And the worst thing about this case with Faithlilly is that her quote doesn't even manage to prove the case she is trying to make. All it does is make the Portuguese silence rule look barking mad.

What is most amusing is that they do not even have enough self-awareness to realise that repeating these farcical and inane claims makes them look utterly ridiculous.

The very quotation that Faithlilly posted demolished the argument she was intending it to back up.

Almost the perfect definition of forum farce, only exceeded in perfection by Redblossom's hilarious backtracking over the Icabodcrane quotation from Kate's book which he must think is reliable.

The following has nothing to do with posters and nothing to do with lies, but it has all to do with image, social image :
Today (3 Sept 2007), when the undersigned (Ricardo Paiva) went to the McCann's temporary residence to notify them of the need to present themselves at the police station to make statements, being able to take their lawyer with them, Kate McCann immediately reacted in a negative manner, making comments such as 'what are my parents going to think?' and 'what is the press going to say when they find out?' and that 'the Portuguese police is under pressure from the government to finish the investigation quickly'.

With regard to Gerald McCann, he constantly insisted in giving the undersigned letters and emails that he was receiving, mostly from psychics and mediums, whom he had selected and which mainly contained information without much credibility about the possible whereabouts of Madeleine and her presumed abductor.

What relevance has this to the thread?

Are you making some kind of point about the posters or just posting randomly?

Could you provide a link so the quote could be read in context?

Thank you for the link.

Now can you explain the relevance to this thread about posters?

So why are you deliberately taking the thread off topic?

Why not start a new topic?

How strange?

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 ?



http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/404297/British-holidaymakers-can-help-in-the-hunt-for-Madeleine-says-Kate-McCann

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 ?

The story is a post by the official madeleine facebook page now so evidence they endorse it

though I also notice on that page people are being asked to vote against the press barons in the hacked off debacle, and the link is not something to read or peruse, its actually a link that goes directly to vote against the royal charter if you click on it, sneeky IMO, eta dont click on the hackinginquiry link below  if you dont want to vote against it


Keep the press accountable and truthful.
Tell the Government your thoughts on the press barons' Royal Charter before Friday:
