The McCanns told all those lies that The Media got sued for?  Well I never.

Were they found guilty?

[Eleanor]

Were they found guilty?

Who?

[Mr Gray]

Were they found guilty?

Ss I recall they admitted it and apologised.

Woltere has not been found guilty of breaching CBs human rights but you treat it as a fact

[Vertigo Swirl]

Who?

I think she means the media.  The sceptics cling on to the fact that the papers settled out of court so technically were not found guilty of libel.  They also conveniently turn a blind eye to the findings of the Leveson Report.  Dey are so deep in denial de crocodiles gone have dem for dinner.

The fact that the newspapers weren't found guilty only crops up when others ignore it. As the McCanns learned later, suing doesn't guarantee getting the money.

Are you OK? Your native language seems to have deserted you.

Oh God.  Not that old chestnut again.

What do Sceptics not understand about settling out of court because they know they are going to lose?

Or do the Sceptics think that The McCanns paid The Media?  And then stood on the court steps to add to their humiliation.

So you think the only reason they sued was for the money.  And the media just thought “ yeah what the hell here’s half a mill, can’t be arsed to defend ourselves against the outrageous suggestion that we libelled them”.  Right you are then.

I believe that the money all went into The Fund.  Including that which was paid out to the other members of The McCann Party.

Is that the Fund that was used to buy the McCanns mansion, yacht and keep Kate in dangly earrings in perpetuity *counts down the seconds until someone pipes up with “mortgage payments”*

It is possible to settle out of court without admitting guilt.  Did the papers choose this option?  No they did not. Instead they issued front page apologies.

Two Mortgage Payments that were then repaid to The Fund shortly afterwards.
