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

Perhaps Tony Bennett would like to take up the cause and bring it to someone’s attention.

All nice to be looking but has any action been taken?
I am very very surprised this is published.It is simply allowing child neglect.
I personally do not believe at all that children must learn the hard way.All the opposite in fact…
Do you really think the social service has taken any notice or investigated that idiot?
No.I doubt it very much

“PErhaps such a case as Madeleine McCann cannot be solved right now. But over time, her killers and those protecting them will crack, or make a mistake. It is more difficult because with Moxley, there was a body. But even without a body, conviction is not impossible. Very difficult, but not impossible.”
It would be nice to think that if the case were to be shelved some investigative journo might take it up and search for the truth…

Many years ago a man sent a letter to HM Customs, saying he had brought a Mercedes (all details supplied) into the country temporarily but now wanted to keep it here, and enclosed a cheque for the large amount of duty payable.
He got a receipt.
He then sent the receipt to Swansea with the appropriate fee, and got a log book.
He then paid for insurance, and got a tax disc at the local post office, before going to the Police to say he had had his car stolen. They came to look at the space on the street where the car wasn’t, and gave him a Crime number…
Which he sent to the insurance company, who paid out.
A Perfect crime ?
No.
He did it 8 times, made a lot of money, and then talked about it in the pub. Well who couldn’t ?
His mate worked out out that the insurance premium he was paying was inflated by fraudsters, and let a subtle hint slip to somone who discussed a theoretical situation to a chap who knew a retired cop.
And he went down, for quite along time.
How long can the Tapas 7/9/10/11 keep quiet ? This will eat them. They will feel permanently nauseous. Permanently on edge. They may develop psychosomatic illnesses. They can never relax even with their own partners. Expect relationships to fall apart. And once that happens the leaks will begin in the McDamm, and even Clarrie will not have sufficient fingers to stop them all.
Theoretically of course.

It just made me wonder if her self-absorption and sexual/hedonistic tendencies are part and parcel of a syndrome of child neglect.

And the pride they have in their absurd theories of allowing infants and toddlers the ability to learn ‘the hard way’ about natural physics confounds me.
Meanwhile a grown adult still doesn’t have the good sense to understand what role a responsible parent should play in protecting a child who is not developmentally able to make said judgements.

Not the same as leaving under four year old in charge of under two year olds in an unsecured apartment. Even secured, the risk of accident is significant.
I cannot believe that a paper has allowed such an article. No wonder we are up against the Clarence attitude is it.
An element of freedom is fine, but surely there has to be a lower limt! These people seem to have no common sense!

still off topic about neglectful parent, Rowan Pelling
Here is her article about posing nude. In it, she remarks that she is a member of a nude bathing club.

Oddly enough, my dad (who’s an extremely clever man) said almost exactly those words when I was discussing the case with him a few weeks ago.

Just did some searching online and discovered that Rowan Pelling was once editor of Erotic Review, until her resignation in 2004, when the magazine’s offices were being transplanted. Here is a quote from an article about her resignation:
———–
“I am afraid that I have given up on the ambition of being a porn baroness. It is just impossible to imagine The Erotic Review being produced out of Cobham. We are a Soho type of publication. It just doesn’t function once you transplant the magazine away from its contributors,” she said.

Accident whilst they were in Chaplins, maybe choked on vomit, maybe fell off the sofa.

Just remember–Young Martha Moxley was found savagely murdered in Greenwich, Connecticut, in 1975. Her case ran cold, although the police always suspected Michael Skakel, nephew to the famous political Kennedy family.
That murder case lay dormant, shelved, until 2000, when investigators found, among other things, statements and admissions Michael Skakel had made in the course of various treatments and meetings.
In 2002, 27 years after her murder, Michael Skakel was found guilty of killing Martha Moxley, and he is now serving 20 to life.
So just because a case is shelved does not mean it will never be solved.
PErhaps such a case as Madeleine McCann cannot be solved right now. But over time, her killers and those protecting them will crack, or make a mistake. It is more difficult because with Moxley, there was a body. But even without a body, conviction is not impossible. Very difficult, but not impossible.

And you are a necessary but irritating part of the ’scheme of things’!
You are wasted defending these doctors, I can only put it down to some kind of dislike of foreign people or of the police?

The tort relating to ’stolen’ goods is called Conversion.
wikipedia .
“Stealing something from someone else is one form of conversion. However, conversion is not limited to theft: conversion can also be accomplished by moving, transferring, discarding, hiding, vandalizing, or destroying another person’s chattel. Merely using another person’s chattel can be grounds for conversion in certain cases.”
Good luck

I still can’t get the article you posted out of my head. I wonder if Social Services ever checked out the author once it was published. They should have.

Saturn says:
“Truly, this Madeleine McCann case seems a watershed in many ways.”
Saturn, i do so agree with you…….On the 6th of October, feeling the same thing I wrote the following two little poems and sent them to a friend with a very similar comment…….
“I scribbled a couple of responses to the incredible saga around little Madeleine McCann this week. Very unpolished
Little Girl
You looked so full of fun and mischief…..
School days still to come.
Your life ahead seemed rosy
When you giggled in the sun.
So where did you go to my lovely?
Who knowa the path you took ?
How will end these tangled speculations
Which open blinkered eyes…..
And make us LOOK ?
Wee One
Those big innocent eyes
Shame the powerful, monnied intrigue
Shame the vitriolic, xenophobic plethora of words……..
You were such a gift………..
So fleetingly gracing this world………
Small wonder your ‘taking’
Stirs our indignation
Our protective sense of justice
Outraged. How can we accept this
‘Spun-matrix’ world that your sad, sad reality
Has revealed to us
Madeleine ?

I am aware that the detail suggested in these may be somewhat premature but it is deliberately vague and I am fairly convinced that the sentiment applies regardless of what we may or may not ever come to know about this matter.
I feel that in many ways it represents a ‘turning point’…….. a historical and moral tipping point for our culture…..and it truly frightens me, Chris”

High ranking diplomats don’t ‘leak’ to the press.
Low ranking diplomats don’t know all the ‘in’s and out’s’ of things.
Unnamed sources are janitors.
