Madeleine McCann: Amaral Policing, Secrets Out And EastEnders
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann.
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE: PORTUGUESE POLICE CHIEF IS SACKED AFTER AMAZING OUTBURST.”
Page 9: “Madeleine detective kicked off case after blasting British police” – Chief inspector Goncalo Amaral says: “The British police have only been working on what the McCann couple want them to and what suits them.”
Says Amaral: “The Ocean Club is in Praia da Luz, not in London…It won’t be an email, and an anonymous one at that, which will distract our line of investigation.”
Mr Amaral is making reference to the email sent to the official website of the Prince of Wales last week claming a vengeful nanny had abducted Madeleine.
Pages 30 and 31: “HAIR-RAISING TRUTH ABOUT THE PSYCHIC BARBER – During the day Gordon Smith cuts hair, at night he claims he communes with the spirits. So does he really think he can help the McCanns find Madeleine?”
THE WORLD’S GREATEST NEWSPAPER confirms that former EastEnders actress Michelle Collins is a “BELIEVER”.
DAILY MAIL page 7: “Off the case. Madeleine police chief demoted after amazing rant against McCanns and British detectives”
Say Amaral: “They [the English] have been investigating tip-offs and information created and worked upon by the McCanns”
DAILY STAR front page: “MADDIE: CHIEF COP SACKED.”
Page 10: “INSPECTOR CLUELESS GETS THE BOOT”
Page 11: “If Maddie IS dead she will tell me where he body is” – Says Gordon Smith
DAILY MIRROR front page: “Maddy copper is axed”
Page 7: “OFF THE CASE – Boozy cop is demoted after furious outburst against the McCanns”
THE SUN page 7: “MADDIE COP FIRED FOR McCANNS RANT – storm as bungler says family duped Brit police”
Comments Clarence Mitchell: “I can confirm that Kate and Gerry are aware of this development but we cannot comment”
THE GUARDIAN page 7: “Detective leading hunt for Madeleine sacked after blast at UK police” – Mr Amaral is 47. He has been demoted. He is 48 in the Sun. Such are the facts
Carols Pinto de Abreu, the McCanns’ Portuguese lawyer, says: “The McCanns cannot confess to something they did not do and cannot and should not lie to please the police”
THE INDEPENDENT page 8: “Detective leading Madeleine hunt dropped from case after outburst” – Amaral is being investigated over an alleged attack on the mother of a different missing girl. Read about that here
THE TIMES front page: “Detective in charge of McCann case sacked”
Page 9: “Madeleine detective sacked after outburst”
Alipio Ribeiro, Amaral’s boss, says: “The police should be discreet and keep quiet, but there is always someone who talks” – So much for those secrecy laws
DAILY TELEGRAPH page 15: “Madeleine inquiry chief sacked after attack on British police”
A “family friend” of the McCanns says: “What he [Mr Amaral] is saying is just plain wrong. Leicestershire Police are not doing anything on Kate and Gerry’s behalf. They are simply there for liaison. There is certainly no strategy to distract form the Portuguese investigation”
What investigation?

The webmaster for this site needs help, big time! He needs to hire a real designer and needs to move to another platform.

I think thats the scariest part
control is the root to all evil
Big brother is not only watching us , hes feeding, gagging and now choking us too
madeliene is a symbol of our society
neglected and now missing
Justice for madeleine and common sense!!!!

The webmaster for this site needs serious help, big time! He needs to hire a real designer and needs to move to another platform. Needs Web 2.0 This site is a MESS!!!!!!!!!!!
The site listing says that the SEPguy works for an online PR company. Gee, could that be PR Newswire?? Not impressed!!! Who cares that “he works for a 1.2 billion dollar internet company”?? Who the hell hasn’t done that? Means nothing. My ESOL neighbor works for a $30 billion dollar company, she answers the phones!! Bill Gates has $40 billion of his own money. So big deal SEPguy!
This site is a travesty!!! Slow loading, crappy graphics, search functionality that never works, buggy, limited bandwidth, and moderators that are so irritating and need to back off any MTOB. Like the hall monitors in nursery school
It just sucks all around. So Cheaply built. So British!!!!!
They boast about 12 mm page views last month- big deal? How many of those are uniques? By most standards, that’s not a lot of traffic. These pages load so frickken SLOW!!!!!

Firestar that is unbelievable

Do any of the last three awake posters recall the withdrawal of the Madeleine ad from Shrek
And how some parents complained about it being inappropriate and yet it was conintued.
This is what lies behind the case.
Control . Not the best interests of the people but simply iron fisted control.
I have only just recently told my 6 year old daughter about stranger danger.
Did not want her to have unnecessary fear.
Of course she is always with her parents or brothers.
I have just read how 4 British fireman found 4 men dogging in parkland and the firemen were disciplined by their bosses and had to pay a fine.
Mr Common Sense must be laid to rest.
He served humanity well for hundreds of years, but he has finally been suffocated.
RIP

Is this reader’s comment really true in today’s Express newspaper?!?
(See 1101 for link)
“PRESSURE APPLIED FROM NO 10
04.10.07, 6:13am
With Gordon Brown thinking of calling an election then the last thing he needs is his brother’s friend, Gerry McCann, accused of harming his daughter. The decision to get rid of the Portugeuse chief was political and diplomatic.”

Oh Don’t you cry for me….
Cause I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
I’m going to Louisiana, My true love for to see
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
The sun so hot, I froze to death Susannah, don’t you cry
Oh, Susannah, Oh don’t you cry for me, I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee……….
I had a dream the other night When everything was still
I thought I saw Susannah, A-coming down the hill
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, the tear was in her eye
I’m coming from the South Susannah, oh so don’t you cry

we got two bottle baby sheep this year just for kicks, I think we are going to eat them. Having had these two, I can definitely say I’m not a fan of sheep.
We know who you are ………………PETA is coming to get you.
Don’t eat sheep. They will come back and haunt you if you do. They’ll take out your organs while you sleep and make you eat them for breakfast in the am.
PETA knows where to find an animal abuser and a carnivore. We can pick up your scent 3,000 miles away.
Don’t eat meat
Don’t wear fur
Protect our animals
Save a dolphin
Adopt a baby seal
Rescue a stray
Foster a kitten
But for God’s sake you Krazy Krissie, DON’T EAT SHEEP!!!!!!!!

1157 - Baaaaaaa - baaaaaaaa - baaaaaaaaaaaddddd DeeDeeDee!!
dooo doooo dooooo doooooo dooooo doooo dooooo doooo
DeeDee - Over here it’s a “doo-doo” not a “dee-dee”
But where is here? Well, it’s over there, that’s where
Hmmmm….does anyone feel like joining me for a little sing song? NO???!!
OK be that way
What about mr. spudtatoehead? He’s the balls!!! I bet Hollywood’s calling for the movie rights. wow - to think how lucky we are…seeing the maaaahvelous video b4 any one else in the world. Right here on Anorak Live.
Hey, here’s another brilliant idea. Spudster and Anorak can start a web tv show? Spudster can create all the footage, cause he’s so talented with his hands
and Anorak can do the satire.
We’ll call it “Anorak, alive and well and living in London - Live on your PC but not PC at all” Satire, get it???
I want to meet a Spudgun - wonder what it looks and feels like?? Can you kick it and it will bounce back or does it fall over when you do that? What if you tied it to a string, could you fly it like a kite? Hmmmm….does it float in the water?? Will it withstand sub-zero temperatures? Can you store it in your freezer or does it prefer the room temperature? What would happen if you uncorked it, let the air out?? Hmmmmm would it really smell or just deflate like a balloon? What is a Spudgun? And where can I buy one? Simply don’t get it….tsk, tsk, sniff, sniff…achoooooooooo!! Where is my bottle of bourbon!!! Nurse, come down to the ward in room 610. There’s a Spudgun in my closet….LET ME OUT OF HERE!!!
What happens to brain cells at night? Do the really melt like snowflakes or are they just dormant til daylight…..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz oh ok….zzzzzz sweet dreams, prince and princesses. may you all sleep well and soundly….insomniacs of the world REJOICE!!

We keep arguing the same points and every now and then dotted in between someone asks the question “How on Earth are they getting away with this” What is behind this????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
The Portuguese government is not defending its force but not closing the case
either.
Have just read a posting on another forum where someone mentions that Scott Peck in several of his books writes about People of the Lie.
I read these easily 20 years ago, but upon reading that the lights went on - yeah we are dealing with people of the lie and their backers are the same family.
Can anyone out there tell me more about this.
I would really like to know.
October 4th, 2007 at 4:35 am
So Krissie, are you going to kill your twins? lol
Too much Leonard, too much vodka…
October 4th, 2007 at 4:28 am
I am - they are delicious!

October 4th, 2007 at 4:07 am
I had one Saanan doe and a boer/nubian cross buck that ran with the angoras. (are they calling them mohairs now or still angoras?) Saanan had great milk. Nubie/bore was a male and an absolute pain in the ass with the exception of ‘Jesus’ - our pigmy which we pawned off on an unsuspecting ‘I think I want a goat’ person.
I think the UK is crawling with sheep so they may not fancy our fascination with goats. lol
October 4th, 2007 at 3:52 am
Yes, we do milk them. Right now I”m milking three.
October 4th, 2007 at 3:49 am
And HONESTLY I have only ONE time posted under a name other than Krissie, and it was a silly little thing I did after a few glasses of wine and only lasted through 3 posts. Then I got moderated under that name for declaring a body had been found. And so far as I know, I’ve never sparred with Spuds here, under my own name, or any other. So you’re just WRONG Spuds baby. (I have, however, gone after Stevo several times.)
Spudgun, on the other hand, I believe he comes on here as a half-dozen names.
October 4th, 2007 at 3:48 am
You don’t milk them do you???
Atkins probably has some sugar free, soy Chocolate Chip something that would pass. lol
October 4th, 2007 at 3:44 am
Yeah, I really love my goats… no Angoras here, mostly Lamanchas and Saanans. Going to raise some pack goats next year, too, in my spare time (hmm).
And no way, I don’t do Atkins. I just do Spuds. (We grew quite a few this year- YUM.) Besides, on Atkins, I probably couldn’t go for this Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream.
October 4th, 2007 at 3:36 am
Krissie - you’re not trying to Atkins are you??
You know happens when Spuds is off limits…
I did actually raise Angoras for a few years. Nothing cuter than a baby goat. Nothing more a pain in the ass either! Sneaky little imps.
October 4th, 2007 at 3:27 am
Yes, I do lust for Spuds. Mmm. Yummy yukon golds, luscious russets, pretty peruvian purples. Give me spuds and more spuds! Straight out of the dirt!
October 4th, 2007 at 3:24 am
Andy, I was employed by newspapers (a succession of them) for years. Since having kids, I’m freelance and don’t do much work of Importance anymore- mostly fluff. I rather prefer the fluff. Leaves me more brainspace to obsess about other stuff.
October 4th, 2007 at 3:19 am
Dee! Dee! No really, ALL of those things are true, with the exception of being old with grey hair. I FEEL old. In truth I’m not old at all - I’m younger than Kate and Gerry, even. And I already told you I was joking about the organ thing. It’s obvious I give away way too much personal information here, however, come to think of it, someone might be able to start tracking me down, and that wouldn’t do at all. In addition to garlic, we also have goats and, as luck would have it, we had a mysterious goat death last week, OBVIOUSLY the same chupacabra that took Madeleine. My husband and I are currently working on the new Madeleine theory- we found some holes in it, later last night, and will now rehash the details over Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream after the babes are asleep. But I have some work due that is late and so I need to set up some kind of Madeleine block on my computer for the next several days. I know they have porn censors for teenage computer users– dont’ they also made Maddie censors for nut cases like me?

Rod, Andy - if all men were shooting blanks we would all have a lot more fun and Global Warming would be a thing of the past.
Humans might be too (thing of the past) but we wouldn’t have to worry with baby sitters, now would we?
October 4th, 2007 at 2:37 am
And Rod….
That’s dee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee
not doo doo
October 4th, 2007 at 2:36 am
Dear God Andy - I am not such a fan that I know his real name. I had to google that to figure out who you were talking about!!! And I had to actually read the Google!!! (I thought you were talking about Spuds or Krissie) lol
Mencia has a weekly stand up show that is losing it’s edge a bit. But considering Justin can’t expose Janet’s breasts here - he may be under network pressure. We are Puritan’s here remember.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:27 am
So Rod, where are the ‘mericans?
