Shannon Matthews, Madeleine McCann And Haut De La Garenne
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
EVENING STANDARD: “MAN HELPING IN SEARCH SHANNON MATTHEWS ‘CRUCIFIED’ JUST YARDS FROM MISSING GIRL’S HOME”
A man helping in the search for missing schoolgirl Shannon Matthews is believed to have been crucified outside his house just yards from the nine-year-old’s family home.
Police are investigating the alleged assault of a 43-year-old man who neighbours claim was nailed to a wooden cross through his hands on Sunday night, and some locals claim the attack is related to the hunt for the missing girl.
And the McCanns?
Meanwhile, the McCanns, whose daughter Madeleine disappeared from their holiday apartment in the Algarve last May, have pledged their support to Shannon’s parents.
Writing in his personal online blog, Gerry McCann, said he and his wife Kate were praying for her safe return.
“No matter what has happened to Shannon, there is no doubt she is extremely vulnerable,” he added. “We hope she is found safe and well soon and returned to her family.”
Will the McCanns be called upon to comment on every missing child?
YORKSHIRE POST: “Agencies face abuse inquiry in wake of body find”
Police are searching a former children’s home Haut de la Garenne where they discovered a child’s skull. Police are now searching six more sites at the building now used as a youth hostel.
Police are using Eddie, who works with South Yorkshire Police as an “enhanced victim recovery dog”.
Eddie is said to have picked up traces of missing Madeleine McCann in the back of a car which her parents hired five weeks after she disappeared.

God’s punishment - frightening ain’t it. My advice stop calling the McCanns or worse will follow!!!!

Are you threatening me???
————————————————–
I am not even trying to be funny. I read what you posted and it sounds like a threat to me.
How can you justify that??
So its OK for you who believe in ‘justice’ and the innocence of the mccs to threaten others is it??

Accorfing to USGS, it was 4.7 and was:
50 km (30 miles) S of Kingston upon Hull, England, UK
70 km (45 miles) NE of Nottingham, England, UK
80 km (50 miles) E of Sheffield, England, UK
205 km (125 miles) N of LONDON, United Kingdom
I’m surprised it was only 4.7. There was one of the size in Kent about six months back and I don’t believe we felt that one in London.

Oh, Nosey don’t you start trying to be funny. You have to be far cleverer than that you know. I can count the anti McCanns on one hand, you will be overrun so why don’t you give in and go to bed?? But I suppose small things amuse small minds.

Listening to the radio, there are reports from all over England, so it must have been a pretty big one (5.0??)
I’ve been in a few minor ones before (when I lived in Kendal, close to the Pennines fault line) but, when we had the biggest one, the decorations didn’t even fall off the Xmas tree!
And one bigger one. I was on holiday in Cornwall and the day before had walked the cliff path from Mousehole to Lamorna. We had to walk under a gigantic overhanging rock and I was afraid to walk under it in case it fell on me.
The next morning, I was sitting in the hotel room writing postcards and there was a huge bang (but I didn’t feel any shaking). I ran down to reception and asked what it was. They said they thought the boiler had blown up!
Later, we heard it was an earthquake just off the coast; I cannae remember the size of it, but I’d guess about 5.0 or more. My first thought was - what if I’d been walking under that boulder at the time?

Wow!
I’m in London and I felt my chair shaking and thought I was imagining it (alcohol, etc.) but I noticed the surface of my bottle of water was moving, too.
I checked online, then the radio 1am news, then Sky News, nothing. So, I came to Anorak, and you guys confirmed it!
