Madeleine McCann: Gail Cooper Says And Amy Fitzpatrick
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
THE SUN: “Potential Maddie witness snub”
“The British woman who may have seen Maddie McCann’s kidnapper has NOT been quizzed by Portuguese cops”
Gail Cooper says she saw a man. An artist’s impression of the man has been released
Gail, of Newark, Notts, says: “They never contacted me. He must be found, even if it is to rule him out”
IRISH INDEPENDENT: “Mum vows to continue search for missing teen Amy”
“Mari Luz Cortes vanished on January 13, as she went to buy sweets from a local kiosk in the Spanish town of Huelva, near the border with Portugal. A massive search for the five-year-old is ongoing.
“The disappearance has been linked to that of Madeleine McCann from the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz, although police said they did not think the two cases were connected.
Ms Fitzpatrick yesterday said that her only daughter is “still just a kid”.
“She is only 15 and she has disappeared without trace.”
Amy Fitpatrick was 15 when she vanished after leaving her friend’s house near Feungirola, in Spain, at 10pm on New Year’s Day. She set out on the 20-minute walk to her own house, but has not been seen since.

The most important (and dangerous) factor in the libel law is this:
5) Proceedings under this section shall be heard and determined without a jury.
To me that is worse than having to prove anything. A judge will decide on his own. That transcends anything we’ve talked about in here about defendants or plaintiff’s obligations.

I might have some problems with the digging, but I’m pretty sure that I can contribute something in the way of tinned goods.
Remind me again, how long do we have before the earth is nuked?

4 or 5 days said the poster [and I’m too lazy to check it]. So we’d better hurry.
I’ve got also some tinned goods, also frozen foods [two large freezers]. Plenty of wine, whisky, port, cointreau, cola, bottled water..
I’m not sure if and when that’s all finished, we should start eating the cats and dogs or mrT

Can’t all just have sex, and lots of it?

Right. However, it seems they’ve got condoms with flavours, like chocolate or “drop” [the shoe laces stuff]

Thanks that was a marvellous poem.

TWAS THE MONTH AFTER CHRISTMAS
Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
Edit….
I’m sure you’re lovely just as you are Katy. Besides, haven’t you heard, the world is about to go up in a cloud of smoke? I should live it up and party if I were you. You can always go back on your diet in February if the incoming asteroid/comet/bunch of space dust misses us in January!

Our last posts overlapped and I had said that a judge could make a summary judgement.
That last document you gave me a link to says that in (2):
The court may dismiss the plaintiff’s claim if it appears to the court that it has no realistic prospect of success and there is no reason why it should be tried.
This is exactly what I meant. In simple terms, it’s not as easy as a defendant having to prove that what they said was true. There’s more hoops to jump through before that stage and too many commentaries on libel miss this vital point out.

Right; next Tuesday morning.
I must make a mental note to sleep late that morning; if the world’s going to end I think I’d prefer to be unconscious.
This may, of course, explain why the million posters are still unsighted; Clarrie wants the Fund to look good at the balance sheet date…

Thanks though - I do appreciate you looking into it.
Your link doesn’t go anywhere Cheryl
I read that excerpt but it’s still not the law is it? It’s a commentary on the law. What I’ve been looking for is the law as written/spelled out. The comment about a defendant having to prove that what was written or broadcast was true is an oversimplification. First of all, a judge is going to review a pleading and if he/she thinks it’s frivolous or without foundation, the judge can make a summary judgement and throw it out. This is why I’d like to read the actual law and not a commentary on it.

TWAS THE MONTH AFTER CHRISTMAS
Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The biscuits I’d nibbled, just for the taste
Had all dropped straight to my waist.
When I walked to my weigh class in a daze and a slumber
and got on the scales there arose such a number!:(
I remembered the marvellous meals I’d prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
Then came the wine, the bread and the cheese
And I’d never say, No, definitely yes please.
As I dressed myself in my partner’s old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt—
I said to myself, as I only can
“You can’t spend all Summer disguised as a man!”
So-away with the last of the sour cream dips,
Get rid of the fruit cake, crackers and chips.
All party food in the house must be banished
Till all the additional ounces have vanished!!!
I won’t have a biscuit-not even a lick.
I’ll only chew on a celery stick.
I won’t have hot scones, or fruit pie, or a cake,
I’ll munch on a carrot - for the goodness sake.
I’m hungry, I’m lonesome, and life is a bore—
But isn’t that what January is for?
Unable to laugh, it’s no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to you and to all a good diet!
January 23rd, 2008 at 9:25 pm
This seems to be backed up by reports in, for instance, timesonline, three weeks after Madeleine disappeared.

Ian - you missed my point - when they gave their initial statements all the timings were ‘around’ the time - so how would him putting a time that conflicts with ms tanner on his blog discredit her initial statement. You may be right and that may be what he is trying to do - but i don’t credit him with that much intelligence
January 23rd, 2008 at 9:17 pm

Gerry has explicitly posted 9:10 and Tanner’s last statement was 9:15. I dont think this is ‘accident’. I believe its vital that we dont fall into the trap of ignoring the changes they make.
These times are incredibly important - we are talking about the time that it is alleged that a child was abducted!
I am convinced that Tanner and the McCanns are not seeing eye to eye.
