Madeleine McCann: When Waiters Attack, Kate McCann Childcare Inc. And Feudal Powers
MADDY WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE – ‘McCANNS OR A FRIEND MUST BE TO BLAME’. Tapas bar waiter’s astonishing attack”
Jose Batista served the McCanns and party on that night Madeleine disappeared. “I did not think she had been taken by an abductor,” says he. “I told them [the police] it had to be one of the family or a friend. It had to be someone close”
Mr Batista is a “crucial eyewitness”
Page 4: “Nanny would have cost just £10” – Batista is standing with his “partner” Maria Fernandes, who also works at the Ocean Club complex. She does not speak. She smiles for the camera. Why is she there? They are holding hands. He says the Tapas 9 did check on their children regularly: “I know that because I often took food to the table and found one of them not there. I would take it back to the table to heat it up. But it was always the men who went to check never the women.” Apart from the time Kate McCann went to check. So not always the men. Jose thought that strange. Why?
Says he: “They left heir children alone. If I had been in that position I certainly wouldn’t have done that.” Maria smiles
“Kate may be a child carer after ruling out GP work” – But would she make living at it?
THE SUN front page: “MADDIE EXCLUSIVE: WHAT WAITERS SAW. Kate left kids alone 3 hours a night”
It’s Jose Baptista, not to be confused with the Express’s Jose Batista, even if this waiter does look very similar and is seen holding hands with his “wife”, also called Maria
Pages 4 and 5: “The men normally checked on kids..Kate only went that one night”
Kate and Gerry are “doctors”. Says Jose: “They left their children alone for up to three hours every night.” Apart from when they all went out as family, with the “cranky” children
Maria speaks: “I definitely remember Madeleine. She was like a little angel, very quiet and good as gold. Just a lovely little blonde girl.” Blonde, you say?
“CAREER PLANS STILL ON HOLD”
DAILY STAR page 7: “holiday waiter describes horror night girl vanished – MADDIE: ‘ONLY PARENTS OR PALS COULD HAVE DONE IT’” – Jose Batista says…
“Kate wants job in child care”
DAILY MAIL front page: “I want to work in child care says Maddie’s mother”
Page 7: “Kate McCann ‘wants a job in child welfare’” – So it is “claimed”. So she ahs “told friends”
“FRIENDS ‘SHARED EIGHT BOTTLES OF WINE A NIGHT’” – Says Jose Baptista. Yes, eight bottles between nine Britons. On holiday. In the sun. Indeed, is that all?
DAILY TELEGRAPH page 9: “Madeleine’s mother ‘to as GP for a child welfare job’”
“One possibility is that she will set up a charity to raise awareness of the extent of child abductions across Europe, and help parents and children who suffer such an ordeal”
Fernando Jose Pinto Montiero, Portugal’s attorney general, says the country’s Ministerio Publico, likened to the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service, is a “feudal power”
THE INDEPENDENT, THE GUARDIAN, THE TIMES and DAILY MIRROR: No Madeleine news today

In the U.S., you’d have (potentially) homicide; manslaughter; reckless endangerment of a child; child abandonment; child neglect; and then, there’s the drugging…not for the child’s safety, but for the parents’ alleged convenience…and the cover-up–
Then, multiply all this (except the cover-up) by three.

I don’t think the cadaver dogs were at the bar.
I’ve seen pictures of them and they didn’t seem that big.

The child Kris describes as “abused” is still alive.
Is Madeleine still alive?
Which McCann is Kris, anyway? Is it Philomena, come to visit us?

1340 The Real Stig.
“Can you please provide a link for this claim.”
Well, i don’t have any link, I’m Portuguese and i followed the Casa Pia case from very close.
But i strongly sudgest you to take a look at this blog:
gazetadigital.blogspot.com
But the British press’s lyes and Info manipulation is much more then that! Is pure promotion of racism, xenophobia and hate against the portuguese.
October 24th, 2007 at 4:01 am

Surely someone has seen the picture. I can’t believe I’m the
only one who remembers the picture. Well maybe I am!
(weird though)
October 24th, 2007 at 3:47 am
I looked at a picture and I couldn’t figure out if the Tapas Bar
was closer to the street or the thing that was farther from the
street. Did anyone see that picture?
October 24th, 2007 at 3:45 am
Maybe it was just the camera angle?
October 24th, 2007 at 3:38 am
Well they say no publicity is bad publicity. The Tapas bar could never have asked for better really
October 24th, 2007 at 3:36 am
That waiter is full of crap, though, looking for his 15 minutes of fame.
October 24th, 2007 at 3:35 am
BOB, why would you like to know how big the tapas bar is?
October 24th, 2007 at 3:34 am
Moments like these make you wish for a little Shantilly Lace.
October 24th, 2007 at 3:34 am
I haven’t got a clue bob. I reckon we should all go there after this case is over, get drunk on wine, eat tapas and see what all the fuss is about. Leave your kids at home though eh!
October 24th, 2007 at 3:34 am
Tis the drunken hour!
October 24th, 2007 at 3:32 am
Didn’t really look very big. Does anybody else think it looked very big?
October 24th, 2007 at 3:31 am
