Madeleine McCann: A Titanic Struggle With The Germans And Slavery In Morocco
MADDY WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “IS MADELEINE A CHILD SLAVE IN MOROCCO?”
“Madeleine McCann may have been condemned to a life of slavery working as a ‘little maid’ for a rich Arab family…” Or not
Page 5: “’Madeleine will be used as a little maid’” – so suggests Inspector Hicham Alaoui of the Moroccan Police in El Hajeb near Fez
Little maids, notes the paper, are “collected by rich families as ‘curiosities’ as well as servants. A woman from a group called Ecpatuk says such children are “vulnerable to abuse”. The Express sys the girls are abused “physically, emotionally and sexually”. Can Madeleine McCann be among them? Maybe…
“Sacked detective called in to help with the probe” – Chief Inspector Goncalo Amaral is talking with new chief Paulo Rebelo
“Fury over magazine ‘sick’ ads” – German magazine titanic has lampooned the case, using Madeleine’s image in spoof supermarket adverts. Gerry and Kate McCann call it “sick” and “very hurtful”. The magazine says Madeleine McCann is “getting a bit much for many people”
DAILY MIRROR front page: “Clear us… you have no case”
Says a friend of Kate and Gerry McCann: “They are adamant they should now be cleared”, as are many suspects in ongoing investigations
Page 7: “McCann ‘clear us’ demand’” – Says Clarence Mitchell: “If the reports are true clearly it would indicate the police absolutely, and quite rightly, have no case against Kate and Gerry”
DAILY MAIL front page: “Oh. Come off it, Heather, how dare you compare your ordeal to Kate McCann’s?” Heather Mills is on the telly
Page 7: “Police pursuit of McCanns ‘is running out of steam’” – The public prosecutor in Portugal says Kate and Gerry McCann will not face further police interviews “unless detectives can produce stronger evidence against them”
Mark Williams-Thomas, a former detective with Surrey Police, says the McCann’s private detectives could be on the wrong trail in Morocco. Or not
THE SUN page 24: “GERMAN MAG’S SICK JOKES ABOUT MADDIE – McCanns’ horror as spoof ad pokes fun at lost girl”
Ad advert in satirical Titantic magazine promises the kitchen cleaner will “remove all traces at the home” even DNA traces. The adverts warn that just because Madeleine’s face is on the product it does not mean they can be taken for free. The Sun is disgusted. It reproduces the images and the words to allow its readers to share in its disgust
A march on the German embassy is not yet in the planning
DAILY STAR front page: “MADDIE SICK NEW TWIST – Horror at German abuse of missing tot”
The Germans have her. A German paedo!
Page 7: “TOTALLY SICK – A full reproduction of the spoof adverts. “McCann’s agony as rag mocks hunt for Maddie.” Thanks to the Star and Sun, the McCanns now know that an obscure German magazines has made jokes about their case
Says Clarence Mitchell: “It shows Madeleine herself no respect… The magazine did not seek permission to use Madeleine’s image to be used on this so-called joke. It they had it would almost certainly not have been given”
So much for doing anything to keep Madeleine in the news
THE INDEPENDENT page 5: “Mills: I am treated as badly as Kate McCann and Diana.” More on Lady Mucca
THE TELEGRAPH page 9: “Madeleine police ‘consult sacked head of inquiry’” – chief inspector Goncalo Amaral is on the case. Sort of
The paper says detectives are “no closer to solving the case”. And the campaign to find Madeleine goes on…
THE TIMES and THE GUARDIAN: No Madeleine news today

“What’s unhealthy is someone who is on Anorak all day and night like Stig. Not people seeking truth and justice. IMho of course.”
Thea, darling, I am deeply touched that you have such concern for my welfare.
But be not concerned, I am quite hale and hearty, thank you (until the cold the children have been having makes itself known personally!)
My presence here is not quite as extensive as you make out, though. Let us see. At this moment, there have been 1052 posts today, of which number I have made 4 - including this one. The first was at 10:25 am and the next after that was at 19:43
You, on the other hand, have made 31 posts starting at 17:26.
I think it should be I, who is concerned for ‘your’ health - consider it so.

I have read in more than one place that Gerry McCann did indeed go looking for Madeleine that first night, for at least a whole six hours. Then he had to rest up for his job later in the day.

“McCANNS, MARS & MURAT
Someone insulted our intelligence last week. If your little girl went missing and your best friend saw someone carrying a small child away in that time window, wouldn’t you as a parent be mentioning the description of that person at every opportunity you have - especially if it wasn’t just a bog standard description like a blue t-shirt and shorts. Not many people could have been wearing a maroon shirt and yellowy beige trousers that night in a tiny town but I’m sure as hell more likely to remember seeing that person a few days or weeks later, than six whole months down the line.
When there were apparently weeks, if not months, of zero leads and the suspicions were falling on the McCanns WHY wasn’t this photofit bandied around at every possible opportunity. I’d be thrusting it into the face of everyone and probably even wearing a T-shirt with an image emblazoned on it until the person was ruled out. The fact that it only surfaced now was the turning point for me. I’m no longer on the fence.
Something absolutely stinks about this saga. I am convinced of the involvement of Murat and if astrology could stand up in court we have him nailed but I cannot rule out the involvement of Murat with some friends of the McCanns (Tanner?) or someone else in the Ocean Club and I also have a feeling about Gerry that simply won’t go away. If he’s not consciously involved I believe his daughters abduction is the result of something he was up to, or knows about, that he just cannot confess to. I hope I’m wrong about that last bit as if I’m not I’ll lose all remaining faith in human decency.
However, Uranus square Gerry’s Sun (which is midway between his Mars and Venus) could have him embroiled in some sort of triangle or be the intervener/interloper in another couple’s life. As Mars is Maddies abductor and Venus is her (or someone he loves), his Sun is caught firmly in the middle. I’ll discuss all the astrology of it at a later date. Meanwhile let’s hope the new Police Chief stops the wild goose chases and far out theories and refocuses on the basics; sex, obsession, money and revenge. The poor girl is not alive and between now and Christmas we’ll begin to learn much, much more.
If any of those under suspicion are a birthsign Leo or Aquarian I’d be keen to know.”

1032. Pitty is up to all sorts of game. This is what she got. The pet lost ranks lower than Cuddle Cat and Pitty is getting something about a shuffle or maybe a scuffle and the space the pet took up is no longer a void and what was once three is now two.
I hope this makes sense to you. Pitty has tears running down her face and she’s gulping and can’t seem to say anything more right now………..
That’s why I love her, she’s such a dear one! Oh wait, the name of the Pet, Pitty, says it Rhymes with Sad-die and now Pitty’s crying again. Time to stop…….Pitty needs a break!

OK, so you still haven’t answered my question. You keep pointing at what the McCanns have done WRONG , and keep insisting they aren’t “looking” for her, but keep ignoring me when I ask you: HOW precisely do you think they should be LOOKING for her? What should they be doing? You seem to have tied being worthy of the Fund to “looking” for her, but can’t seem to say what that would look like to you. What do you want them to do? (I would dispute that they have “lied” to police, btw– can you prove that?)

i am like most people here hoping to be wrong,and madeline is ok,in her parents view that means being a child sex slave for the last 6 months,personally hoping for something like taken by distraught woman who wanted a child,BUT im am daily leaning towards known facts that in 70 percent of cases its someone in or close to family,and more then that im thinking pre-meditated ,

It’s only jealousy because they’re not as popular and it hurts their inferiority complex.

10303 Geeeeez, Ade, how many times can you repeat the same joke, over and over? I find that very ludicrous and hurtful! And not very helpful!
November 1st, 2007 at 9:14 pm
I just watched Gerry’s televised speech on returning to work. If I didn’t know the details of this case, I would think the fellow was all right. When he’s being interviewed by himself and not being asked ‘awkward’ questions, he does present himself well, I think.
I did not see the ‘gleam in his eye,’ as another poster mentioned about this video, but I was certainly looking for it.
I think Gerry comes off much worse in speeches and interviews when he is with Kate. The two of them together are very odd and strange, imo.

To answer Stig’s earlier post, I forgot to tell him that of course I didn’t contribute to the fund. How hypocritical would that be if I had done?
I’m not critical of people donating to causes but this was never a cause to me because I decided in my own mind from the first time I saw them that it was a sham.
As for your personal thoughts on what they could do with your portion of the contribution, you are free to think it’s ok to spend it on whatever you like. My comments before were generalised and were based on other contributors to the fund that I’ve spoken to. Most I know are outraged it’s being spent on the parents while they are on extended leave.
You could say I don’t have a right to complain because I never contributed. Stig would think like that but in defending the poor people who aren’t able to think these things through, I think it is outrageous.

Inspector G, To my knowledge the McCanns did own a pet, here name escapes me but she was lovely and beautiful; blonde with pretty but unusual blue eyes and of course highly sought after because of here blonde locks. But one night they didn’t keep proper watch over her and she disappeared. Her name, as it does Gerry, escapes me at the moment. I heard Pitty throws a mean Tarot and so she could possibly glean the McCanns’ pet’s name from a card reading.

OK, I give up. All last night’s posts disappeared, 4 attempts to post a single link here failed for no obvious reason.
So - Anorak - congratulations on your highly gifted (and I hope free) web rererereredesigner.
And goodbye!
