Madeleine McCann: A Pundit Says, Judge Eurico Reis Orders And The Sun Omits
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
THE SUN: “Shut up: Maddie cop by judge”
Police national director Alipio Ribeiro “stunned his men” by “admitting” the decision to make “doctors” Kate and Gerry McCann suspects was “hasty”
Judge Eurico Reis said it is “not the cop’s role to publicly comment on cases under investigation. The judge raged: ‘It is his duty to SHUT UP.’”
And: “Portugal’s top prosecutor Antonio Cluny branded Ribeiro’s comment ‘extremely worrying’” – Why worrying? Because of what he said? Or because a policeman has given his personal views about an ongoing case? The Sun fails to make this clear
The McCanns spokesman tells us: “You cannot have the head of the police force openly questioning the validity of the way in which they were made suspects and then not have a review”
Can’t you? Can someone expert in Portuguese law tells us if you can or cannot…
FERGUS Shanahan: “COPS SO WRONG”
Alipis Ribero is on the radiop. Says Shanahan: “In effect, Mr Ribeiro is saying: ‘We never had any evidence agsint Kate and Gerry. We didn’t take Madeleine’s disappearance seriously… Some of our detectives thought Kate and Gerry looked dodgy. So we made them suspects and hoped something might turn up.”
The tabloids, meanwhile, look at “creepy” Robert Murat, also a suspect - you know, the one the Sun calls an “oddball“
DAILY STAR: “BLOW FOR MADDIE PARENTS”
“TORMENTED Kate and Gerry McCann are to remain official suspects over their daughter’s disappearance. They hoped to have their ‘arguido’ status lifted after Portugal’s top cop Alipio Ribeiro admitted it may have been a mistake to put them in the frame. But government legal advisers yesterday denied they were planning to clear their names”
So the personal views of a policeman are not a deciding factor in an ongoing investigation?
“The 39-year-olds may be considered suspects for as long as the investigation continues – possibly years”
Read all about it!
DAILY MIRROR: “STILL SUSPECTS – Maddy probe team in row over letting McCanns off hook”
Says Judge Eurico Reis: “This case has had more than enough media exposure”
Mr Ribeiro is on the radio…
Says “media pundit” Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa: “He killed the investigation when he said there was haste in making the McCanns arguidos in the case”
Says Antonio Cluny, who we heard from earlier in the Sun: “I don’t know if he’s right or not but this conduct of speaking about pending cases is extremely worrying”
Why did the Sun end its Mr Cluny quote short?
LIVERPOOL DAILY POST: “Madeleine McCann: Liverpool grandad hoping for a miracle”
Says Mr Healy: “Like most people I would like to think that if there is a spark of hope I have to hang on to it. They haven’t found anything yet. We have to believe a miracle can happen. I still believe she is alive and until someone tells me different I will believe”
IRISH INDEPENDENT: “Maddy’s grandad hopes for miracle”
Brian Healey says he is pleased that “Alipio Rebeiro, national director of the Policia Judiciaria, said detectives were too hasty in making the couple suspects over their daughter’s disappearance”
Says he: “I am glad he has said it, it will get things moving to reinstate the fact they’re innocent”

MRS PIGEON
Are you really Brandon? I’m getting confused. First you went missing for a few days and then you turn up as Mrs Pigeon. Did you elope with Lone?
February 5th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Oh and Brandon
Want to voice my total disapproval of your abstinence (spelling?) from Anorak.
Are you going to try to go cold-McTurkey for Lent?
If so - just imagine how awful you are going to make the rest of us sad people look!

Talking of Coenzyme Q10, I saw something in the paper today (I think it was the Mail - I haven’t got it in front of me because I read it at my sister’s) about a face cream which contains Q10. Apparently, in some survey or other, it’s been voted the cream that smooths the skin better than any other on the market. One of the testers said that everyone thought she’d just been to have a facial. And the best thing of all is that it only costs £1.85 a jar!

Scared doesn’t come into it. It’s never happened to me but I don’t think that any personal details should be revealed.

I think we are talking at cross purposes. I just think there should be a general forum called “chat” where people can speak to each other about non topic related subjects.

you think this kind of behaviour is acceptable from mods. Seems to me certain members of this elite group should be moderated

Thanks.
And by the way I did not serve Annie_M that last bucket of wine.
I think she brought her own wine box in with her tonight.

Mrs T and dcb
Yes, it was Daisy from Chile. It’s been annoying me for days that I couldn’t remember her name. I wonder where she is. And Ann - she left and didn’t come back. Then there was Maria - didn’t someone say they were going to do something with the problem of Maria??

Mods and Admin
Daisy left of her own accord when we closed the Malta and Morocco threads. Ann is ill, we heard that yesterday.
Maria drifts in and out, she was in over the weekend.
