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

Jolie, I don’t believe Hitchens knows anything more than me or you. He’s been saying for months that he’s got information that will blow the case apart. I think it was this past weekend were he again posted a ‘tease’ but nothing will ever come of it. He never delivers. And is he really a journalist? I thought his bio said he was in PR or marketing or something like that and he has a boxing fetish.

“But I understand your cautioning Kris. She mustn’t get too buddy buddy with the ‘enemy’ now, right?”
I was simply remarking that Kris was identifying being level-headed with being American - and was humourously objecting in case she thought that ‘only’ Americans were level headed.

Kris as you are on the rebound may I offer you my services

So Metodo 3 is going to check out the Al Hocheima report of a Madeleine sighting (21 august) -supposedly a middle aged woman with a blonde girl with a right eye like M’s tried to share a taxi to the town. Amazing how observant people can be.
Why hasn’t CRG checked it out yet - it has been on the case almost since the beginning according to the McCanns?
November 1st, 2007 at 9:58 pm
Oh, Pitty’s getting a little hard to handle, she loves dirty talking! That’s the whore slut part of her coming out……..
Oh Pity, ssshhh before you get us in trouble!

American girls, we stick together.
Thea- I need to go pee, want to come with me?

Maybe Hitchen really does know something. If what Escarlata Spain is reporting is true, then I think it is very possible that Hitchen, with his contacts, got wind of it.
That doesn’t excuse his treatment of me and psstfairy (who posted anonymously there today) on the comments section of the latest McCann blog entry, but I will dislike him less if I find that he hasn’t been misleading his readers with misrepresentations.
Thanks for your response to me.

1074 garty why are you SOOO angry.

Its not working…………now what?
November 1st, 2007 at 9:56 pm
Mike H,
Wow you do sound different. I’m sorry but I was only joking around. I didn’t realise you were so touchy since the breakup. I won’t mention it again. For f’s sake for someone who was ranting about Gerry getting boobs and Kate being a lesbian (or was that Gerry again?) and all of them being swingers that’s rich coming from you.
Maybe if you had a little oil your fuk’n condom wouldn’t break? Either that or learn how to properly turn her on.
November 1st, 2007 at 9:54 pm
1122- Stig, well thanks for that information anyway. I was sure Stevo was way, way up there. Not only that, but he’s got staying power… we all have a week or two where we can’t pull ourselves away from Anorak, but Stevo comes back, day after day, week after week, it’s pretty amazing. Got to give him credit.
I do go after Stevo pretty good and enjoy doing so, but it’s partially because he’s the only poster here for whom I’ve got a really strong mental image of how I think he looks.

…………..”Strange that you would take the time to tally and score who has posted how much within what time span. A Scorpio?…..
What’s with the scorpio question?

November 1st, 2007 at 9:53 pm
Stig, Please be fair - your name had to be there too. Are you sure it wasn’t you who complained?

Mike H,
Then why breakup with Krissie because she changed her name to Kris if you are not a stuffy Englishman? You seem to have too good of a sense of humour to permit a slight facade change to irreparable harm of a good relationship? Oh but there is always that damaged male DNA?
????????? Why you trying to start a war? No OIL in here.
November 1st, 2007 at 9:51 pm
Ahhhh what’s lovelier than an alluring gypsy girl and her dancing bear? I can see the tamborine sparkling in her precious little hands.
November 1st, 2007 at 9:50 pm
Jolie, quite frankly he behaved like a jerk - but unfortunately that’s what happens when there’s nobody to regulate what you write.

Thanks for the heads up on the upcoming reporting! I’m sure all of us here will be more than interested to read all about it. (Massive understatement!)

“Stig- could you count Stevo’s posts and time, too??”
Only if you paid me! Have you any idea how much time that would take?
When Anorak switched over to this paged format, they also had on the front page a league table of top posters. Stevo was at the top with nearly 3 times the number of posts as the next most prolific poster. I think it was around 3700 or so.
The spoilsports only had the table up for a couple days. I suspect someone complained.

Pitty believes in the importance of names. She says she can take a name, muse a little, and tell you almost everything about the person. Some say it’s the musing part that gets it right, but Pitty says it’s all in the name. She does numbers and then closes her eyes, and presto —–images pop up!
Pitty got her name when she was ten she started whoring on the corner near the tobacco shop off a side street in the Center of the City, and at first men would tell her how young she was, “For Pity’s sake” they’d say….and the Pitty part just stuck. Then she made more money than any other girl and more than the older ones too…….she made so much she had time to study and get straight A’s ……and we know the rest of the story. If it weren’t for that policeman stealing her Dancing Bear she’d have never ended up in the nut ward of that hospital………………
