Madeleine McCann: Kate McCann’s Message And McCann Posters For Mari Cortes Luz
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS: “I feel your pain – Kate’s note to kidnap parents”
Kate McCann has delivered a “heartfelt message of support” to the parents of missing girl Mari Luz Cortes
Writes Kate, a “GP”: “I feel your pain, as parents we know what you’re going through…I am praying that Mari Luz is found quickly, safe and well”
Not that it’s all about the McCanns, a Maddy 2. Although: Says Juan Jose Cortes, Mari’s father: “Only now I understand what Madeleine McCann’s parents are suffering”
Neither Mr Cortes nor his wife are named suspects in their child’s disappearance
The McCanns have offered to equip posters of Madeleine with a shot of Mari – 12,000 of them are to be put up in Spain, the Balearic and Canary Islands
Mr Cortes says thank you but “We don’t feels strong enough to make a decision”
Says Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns’ spokesman: “The posters could lead to vital clues in both cases. Mari Luz’s face would sit along Madeleine’s… We just want to help”
Help who?
DAILY STAR: “’I KNOW THE PAIN YOU ARE FEELING’”
“Madeleine McCann’s mum has told the parents of a child feared snatched by the same abductor: ‘I feel your pain.’ GP Kate, 39, sent her words of comfort to the parents of five-year-old Mari Luz Cortes when the McCanns’ private detectives met them to investigate links between the two cases”
How did the papers come to know of this message, and how can knowing help either child?
“POLICE reject claims of link” – Portuguese police do not “believe” there is a link between Mari and Madeleine
Kate McCann is a “GP”
DAILY MAIL: “McCanns comfort lost girl’s parents”
Kate McCann has sent an “emotional message” to the parents of Mari Luz Cortes
THE McCanns will have to wait until September this year to discover why they were made suspects
THE MIRROR: “KATE’S PRAYER OF HOPE”
“I FEEL YOUR PAIN – Kate’s message to parents of missing Spanish girl Mari”
Reports are that police are seeking a “local sex pest” in Huelva
“70,000..the number of kids under 16 that go missing in the UK every year. Only 10 per cent vanish for more than five days”
Any more room on those posters? How are they remembered?
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “McCanns tell lost girl’s parents: We feel for you”
Says a friend of Mari’s parents, Irene a
nd Juan Jose Cortes: “They have been touched by the fact someone who is going through her own turmoil can find the strength to think of their moment of need”

Thanks - the GMC (which I have not appeared before) has considerably greater powers than the Law Society, RICS, ICA, the SFA and the regulatory bodies of all sorts of professions whose members make a lot more than your humble doctors.
Whywould anyone bother to become a doctor - no pay to speak of, decline respect and a lengthy training period
January 18th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
well that’s it then. Dinner’s off!

No.
Fair comment.

so the mc canns were the only ones not to bother or the oldfields too?

If I lived in the U.K.and I or anyone I was helping needed a heart consultation , I would definitly ask who the heart consultant is to be and if the name was gmc, I’d say most definitly NOT and make it very clear. If there were enough patients refusing a consult by gmc, then there would be no further work for said heart consultant. People do have the power. I certainly would not trust gmc. Am I to say IMHO to cover myself now?

Not sure if it’s accurate, but this Times Online article written by David James Smith and published December 16 states that the Paynes brought their own monitor, at least that’s how I interpret his two sentences which I’ve highlighted in bold print. He compares the Paynes having a monitor with the Tanners who also brought one (but wasn’t functioning properly):
QUOTE
The terms of the holiday were half-board, breakfast and evening meal, and the McCanns paid about £1,500. There had been some reduction when they had discovered that, unlike most Mark Warner resorts, the Ocean Club did not offer a baby-listening service. Instead, the group had asked for apartments close together, so they were all assigned to Block 5. The Paynes were on the floor above, the only couple with a functioning baby monitor. Russell O’Brien and Jane Tanner had brought a monitor too, but theirs wasn’t getting much of a signal from the Tapas restaurant 50 yards away.

Can you point to anybody having had their license to practise medicine suspended in the UK b/c they have been arrested (and not charged), or for that matter even if they have been charged?

Well,

GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL
would appear to be an obvious example of an interim suspension imposed by the Interim Orders Panel of the General Medical Council, where the doctor in question had been arrested but not charged…

That is rather like the groundsman at Lords not letting the great Australian Batsman Don Bradman into the Ground for a test match because he had not tied his MCC tie using a Winsdor knot what what

The only collateral proceedings that I thought had any chance of being a runner (if only on jurisidctional grounds) was the Children Act private prosecution that Anorak’s own Tony Bennett sought to bring in the Leceistershire Mags Court.
The depressing end to that, as I understand it, was that the clerk of the court took an adminstrative decision not to issue the writ on the grounds that he thought that the L Mags Court had no jurisdiction.

Our Catholic Church is extremely welcoming to non-Catholics - but they don’t take Communion. Not ever.
They can get a blessing and light candles if they want. And can be prayed for during the Mass but no Communion.
