Wandering Off Topic

[ShiningInLuz]

No,  it relates to your completely off topic post about the McCanns being in jail, which was hardly an insightful,  or intelligent response to Brietta’s point.  IMO.

An off-topic post on the 'wandering off topic' thread?

That would be a novelty.

Then why are you complaining about my post not relating to Brietta’s - make your mind up petal.

The discussion was about the proportion of people in Portugal who speak English.

Comments that relate to each other make a conversation.

Then there's being fractious or issuing propaganda, snowflake.

No, depending on the circumstances, and clearly in this case an injustice had been done, as even the Portuguese legal system has now acknowledged (though knowing how that works who really would be surprised if the woman in question ends up being re-arrested and forced to cough up her damages).

Check it out. Amaral, 'perjury,' look robust, act robust, robust. Count toothpicks to your cards. Narcissistic, sure. Not robust. You know, 'Leonor.' Slow, yes. Robust, maybe. Crap parent. But she charmed the pants off the guards and won a ping-pong competition - 10 year stretch in the jug man, come aarn, gosh darn it - not robust now? That ain't robust. 'Welsh woman'. Happy slaps the fuzz, gets a ticket to Sing Sing - not robust. But the 2nd court decision, writin' dem wrongs man, doin' god's work, yessir, old tin legs Bader himself would say robust. You went full robust, man. Never go full robust."

What are your views on the case Misty highlighted about the young British woman?  Do you have any or would you prefer not to say?  Also, don’t call me a snowflake, please, I find it very offensive.

with respect you probably know little about the evidence produced in each case

Erm, yes ok, if you say so... I would say there was nothing robust about any of it, as anything could change at any time in Portugal.  Literally nothing would surprise me about their judicial system anymore.  So when the Courts found in favour of the McCanns first time round one just knew that it would all go Pete Tong (or right, if you’re a McB) and they’d change their minds at a later date, and so it came to pass....

Whenever a reply starts 'with respect', it generally means the opposite, as in this case.
I perhaps know as much about the evidence as you - neither of us know, Godot.

I am not familiar with the case, so I have no comment to make on it.  Which is why I chose to make no comment.

Don't call me petal again.  It's just a wum.

Right, so tell us what you do know about then, the use or otherwise of the English language in Portuguese prisons.

I was in fact being polite...
I can assure you I know quite a lot about the evidence in both these cases.
I posted a phd thesis from a portuguese law student on the cipriano case and read the Portuguese judgement on amarals case

Where does your knowledge come from

[Mr Gray]

I doubt there will be any comments from the Portuguese justice supporters.  4 months on remand for allededly hitting a police officer.  No need for remand when she could have returned home and been the subject of a european arrest warrant if necessary.

No need, as the McCanns were never in prison.

We got to this point many a post ago.

Just as the mccanns have never been charged with any crime and therefore do not have to prove/demonstrate/show their innocence.  Someone needs to tell the SC and the entire Portuguese justice system

That someone would be the McCanns' lawyer, in the case they lost at the SC.
