although the uk tabloids went to far...as they did in their reporting of the mccanns...I think some criticism of the PJ was quite justified

Absolutely, they should have interrogated the tapas group immediately and made sure a reconstruction was done before anyone was allowed to head home.  They were far too easy going with them all imho.

could you explain how they could prevent the tapas group leaving portugal...dont the PJ need evidence to detain a person.........

[Angelo222]

There also appears to be a curious anti-British undercurrent from Brits who doubt the McCanns, who also seem quite defensive of even the slightest criticism directed at anything Portuguese.

I take it you mean anti SY?

[Mr Gray]

I take it you mean anti SY?

and anti FSS.....anti british govt....

She has every right to express herself, her feelings and frustrations in her book in any way she sees fit.  Perhaps if she’d known in advance what sensitive snowflakes some people are on behalf of the Portuguese police she might have thought twice about upsetting them.  Perhaps in the next edition we can petittion her to change Tweedledum & Tweedledee to “Crockett and Tubbs” and “f....ing tosser” to “lovely young man”.

IMO, by doing what she did in using a book to spout venom at several Portuguese police officers she has attracted similar disdain and hatred from many people in both Portugal and in the UK.  And some people still ask why she receives such hatred even after 11 years.

Kate McCann brought this down upon her own head.

you seem to be getting very personally involved...hatred is a very strong word...she also receives a lot of support

I don't hate  her.
ETA.
I don't know anyone who hates her.

What goes around comes around imo, she is reaping her own crop.  Had she cooperated fully with the PJ back in 2007 we wouldn't be having this debate now.

Can you explain further what you mean?

I don't see how any answers to the, questions, she was asked would have changed anything.... I doubt it would make, a scrap of difference to your degree if hatred... Which I find more than slightly strange

I think she seems a very warm caring person and is a loss to the medical profession

Those would have been the warm-up questions so she fell at the first fence imo.

[Mr Gray]

I agree those, were the warm up questions  and if Kate had, answered them there, would have been another 48..
She was absolutely  right to answer none

You have inadvertently  admitted the questions were of no importance

[ShiningInLuz]

could you tell us on what date the PJ decided they would make the mccanns arguidos...without that your views are speculation

What does that have to do with anything?

Kate's book goes - announcement to leave - then made arguidos.

It does not get simpler.

[ShiningInLuz]

Without evidence ... there is absolutely no way that the Portuguese authorities would have sanctioned making the request for the McCann's return to Portugal to be questioned as arguidos.
I believe the PJ were aware there was no evidence ... hence the undue haste to have the case 'wrapped up' ASAP choosing what they thought was the weakest link ie the distraught mother of the missing child.

Therefore in my opinion the leaving was not the problem but the change to the code most certainly was.

Pure speculation.
