New documentary:"BURIED BY MAINSTREAM MEDIA -The True Story of Madeleine McCann.

And being the honest upstanding person she is, she should have cooperated and answered every single question but then she had disdain for the very people charged with discovering what happened to her daughter.

F****** T*****.  Yes, well.  She wasn't wrong about that.

F****** T*****.  Yes, well.  She wasn't wrong about that.

I wonder what the same officer thought about her and her husband's behaviour in the first place, in leaving their children the way they did.

And being the honest upstanding person she is, she should have cooperated and answered every single question but then she had disdain for the very people charged with discovering what happened to her daughter.

At this stage in the proceedings it was blindingly obvious what the PJ were driving at.  And the tactics they were using - with press leaks, lying about the evidence etc etc.

I do not have an argument with the police exaggerating the evidence they have - that sort of fishing expedition seems to be standard practice. 

But, to give one example,  it seems they did claim that they had a 100% DNA match to Madeleine, and waved FSS papers around - the only problem is that this was the DNA sample from her saliva on the pillow used as a reference sample.   

Given the sort of tactics being used, advice to answer "no comment" was perfectly sound, and should not be used to castigate Kate - the PJs interest at that point was prosecuting the parents and not even remotely aiming to find Madeleine - sadly.

There was no crime committed on UK soil,so the tax payer is NOT responsible for all crimes committed abroad-sorry about that bubble bursting moment!

Whilst those selfish parents parade their-we have done nothing wrong-slot, thousands of children in this country are suffering and need the tax payers money to help them. So the parents are the real f....g Tos  ers!

Brietta said no one was looking for Madeline- the pj were still investigating and that investigation included asking questions of the allegedly last person to see Madeline alive!  There was nothing sinister in that. So Kate didn't like being questioned BIG DEAL, she felt 'betrayed and let down'... oh the irony.. hello where is your daughter?

The Portuguese could not find Maddie in their country, if she was taken abroad then, they can't go barging into other countries demanding a search. Also, they don't have the funds unlike- the  Kate n gerry show to travel free around the globe to search every country she was 'seen in'.

Kate shows how common and not 'middle class' she is. But then many people share the view she is not at all what she wants people to believe.

Just a point to make  - people can be charged and found guilty of murder even in the absence of a body.

"Just another chance to embark on a diatribe aimed at Madeleine’s parents"

Just as much the same as you- you have nothing to offer in the way of intellectual, verbal stimulation. You have done nothing to bring Maddie home either, you are just here to play that protect the parents and their story game, well good luck with that. You are never going to convince me or millions of others. As this is a debating forum there is little debating taking place with regards to contents or issues, just blank remarks and jibes at people who refuse to buy into your murky market of 'innocent parents'.

This thread is about a new documentary, not about me or my comments, so why not stick to the thread, HAVE you have anything to discuss about it or can you defend the indefensible?

What happened to Maddie and what about her parents behavior?  things I discuss on this forum. Deal with it and/OR ignore it  but get over yourself with that high horse attitude!

[Eleanor]

Could not Brian Kennedy just be a good man, blessed with good fortune, who had a genuine desire to help?.  Especially when he became aware of The Internet Campaign against The McCanns.

Brooks wanted the Madeleine McCann case re-opened because,,,?

Cameron was unable to refuse Brooks and ordered SY to re-open the investigation at the cost of many million pounds because...?

Let's have some joined up thinking on this one please.

Back on topic re the thread:

I was concerned about a few things in the film and the one thing that did make me think was I hearing things was the last video where it was claimed Mr Smith was a friend of  Robert Murat.

I plucked this from Nigel's site

"quote PLEASE NOTE: We have been contacted by Martin Smith who is mentioned towards the end of this programme. Mr. Smith reported seeing a man carriying a child on the night in question. Mr Smith stated the following ..."unquote

"Dear Mr. Hall,

I have just watched the 4 parts of your new film "Buried by Mainstream Media etc" which I found very interesting. I would like to point out a major inaccuracy near the end of part 4 of the film where it was stated that I was "friends with Robert Murat". This statement is untrue and I would like it corrected. I had come across Mr. Murat twice in the previous 12 months, had never been introduced to him and merely knew him by sight.

Yours sincerely,

Martin Smith".

Thanks for that.  I shall definitely watch Part 4 again.

[VIXTE]

First look and I'd say 'amateur' and 'foreign accent' and ' manipulative' and 'opinionated' therefore not unbiased.. .......

Edit: Watched few minutes of the first video and it makes me puke..I'd add 'speculative' and 'conspicuous' therefore not my cup of tea, 

[faithlilly]

BTW I do agree though that the documentary is badly researched.

[stephen25000]

As to the videos, number 4 shows very adequately what 'team mccann', Edgar and Cowley, Mitchell,etc., were up to.

i.e. 'maintaining' the abduction story, which still has no evidence, let alone forensic back-up.

So carry on dave, talking the talk.

It's not going to find Madeleine, is it ?

[Mr Gray]

I agree with everything Redwood has said...I don't accept an anonymous post...which part of that don't you understand...who is maintaining the abduction story..you don't understand that. No one is saying Maddie was definitely abducted but on the available evidence it is the most probable reason for her disappearance
