Madeleine McCann: Carlos Anjos Says, Clarence Mitchell Replies And The Daily Express Is Quiet
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
THE SUN: “Maddie cops snub”
Carlos Anjos, head of the Portuguese Police Federation, says: “There are bigger problems in the police”, than the case of Madeleine McCann
Says Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns’ spokesman: “Mr Anjos is entitled to his opinion but it is entirely unhelpful”
This the same Carlos Anjos who once noted:
“There is no criminal investigation which can feed a news frenzy for six months, so what we have seen are both English and Portuguese journalists behaving in a scandalous and unprofessional way. Writing terrible stories in the papers, some of which have clearly affected the McCanns… now we have to say that the McCanns are partly to blame for this. Because it was something they created”
And then one of the oddest lines yet seen in a newspaper:
“Meanwhile cops have ruled out a theory the four-year-old could have been snatched by Swiss pervert Urs Hans Von Aesch. He blew his chance in august after killing a girl of five”
Anyone care to explain that comment?
DAILY STAR: “FIND MADDIE? WE’VE GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO. HEAD COP BLASTS McCANN SEARCH”
Says Mr Anjos: “There are bigger problems than the Maddie case”
Why the Star should appear shocked at this seem unclear, given the tabloid stories of paedophilia being rife in Portugal
Says Mr Anjos: “I am certain that all of my colleagues involved in the investigation are doing everything they can to discover what happened”
DAILY MIRROR: “Maddy’s ‘not our priority’”
Mr Anjos made his views known in Portuguese newspaper 24 Horas
MARI Luz Cortes – Still missing. Her father has posted a £110,000 reward, The paper reports that police are “scaling down the search”
DAILY MAIL: “Maddie? We’ve got bigger problems”
Says Mr Anjos: “But with respect, there are bigger problems in the Policia Judiciaria than the Madeleine case”
DAILY EXPRESS: NO MADELEINE NEWS – Which is the biggest Madeleine McCann news of the past six months
Madeleine McCann: hype, frenzy and speculation

Thats the most unbiased report about the McCann episode (either way) that I have ever seen in the Sun (or any other UK paper!).
The guy really does deserve a pat on the back!

Where’s this going…are we looking for a new defence for the McCanns by any chance?
===================
Not going anywhere, someone asked what time it got dark in Portugal at that time of year and (I think) Katy said 7:30, I thought that sounded a tad early so googled it.

English and Politics (mainly English).
I think I will celebrate - but I really have to cut the alcohol down, I’ve started drinking in the afternoons just to calm myself down. Not good. I had to give the dreaded weed up because I found I couldn’t do similes and puns any more.

Thanks, based on your clue, I found the following info. about Irish wakes, which refers to the removal of the body from the home for the last time. Perhaps this is what Katy is referring to.

The “generic brief” may have been medical research-based and, in turn, sponsored by Government – hence, IMO, CM’s seamless introduction.
*************
Agree, this is very possible. It is important to know what the “generic brief” was, for this reason.

As you might have noticed i do not add links. This is because i cannot for the life of me find out how to do it. I am on a mac using Safari, can anyone help me out or provide a link to the relevant info?. Thanks in advance.
February 8th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
brandon - don’t have sky - just wanted to be sure. It seems odd to me that you would have closed shutters and the lights would be off when you left 3 ’sleeping’ children. wouldn’t you leave the living room or bathroom light on?? But there can’t have been any lights on or kate / matt wouldn’t have noticed that it was lighter in the apartment.
I assumed that perhaps is wasn’t dark when they left and genuinley may have forgotton to switch on a light… but hey maybe i’m odd
February 8th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
Missed this one.
CLARENCE ADMITS;
I want yer money and I want it NOW.
All of you fools CANNOT give money to the McCannfiles cuz all your money belongs to Kate ‘n Gerry anyway as do all your thoughts and everything you say about my precious homocide suspects!
Now I’m gonna SUE that b@stard you know he cannot ask questions and I’m making an example out of him….maybe then he will be of some use paying fine.
Dayum, Kate’s calling… the salon refused the Fund credit card…PAY PEOPLE, PAY!

Katy from Ireland (who met the McCanns and spoke with them in July)
What do you mean by the word ‘removal,’ as used in your post about the meeting? I’m not familiar with the term.

Maybe a pro-McCann could come up with lots of ideas for his defence, innocent until proved innocent. Maybe he should start a fund for his mortgage? A media spokesman?

saturn you have a very similar theory to a person that used to post called hideka (?)
*************
I do not think my ideas are particularly original.
The McCanns have inadvertently presented themselves as people willing to do anything in order to ingratiate themselves with the powerful elite. It remains to be seen whether the McCanns will succeed, or whether they will wither away in prison, while others outside take their places and vie for the attention of the powerful elite.

QUOTE
MPs LOOK TO QUIZ MINISTER
Heads could roll once more following comments made by police officials over the handling of the Madeleine McCann case. Opposition MPs have summoned the Minister of Justice Alberto Costa to explain the comments made by the head of the Polcia Judiciria (PJ), and close friend, Alpio Ribeiro, over the status of Kate and Gerry McCann as formal suspects or arguidos in the disappearance of their daughter Madeleine. An outcry has erupted after Ribeiro said in an interview that police might have acted in haste in declaring the McCanns suspects. A number of high-ranking officials have already lashed out at the PJ chief’s comments, including from within his own organisation, while the McCann family have demanded their status as arguidos be lifted with immediate effect.

brandon - but the poor man just had sex with 4 out of 5 victims within hours of them going missing, and gave a lift to some of them in his car..
it was just his way of recovering from his golf ….
How can you possibly think that he could be linked to their cold blooded murders???
pitchforks ready?
