Madeleine McCann: A Jetski, A Bag And Terrorist Attacks On Israel
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann and Shannon Matthews
DAILY MAIL: “Couple saw bundle taken out to sea near where Madeleine disappeared but police ignored them”
A bundle?
A British couple saw a package being bundled onto a jetski on a beach just six miles from where Madeleine McCann went missing. The tourists had been for a morning swim just nine hours after the little girl disappeared when they spotted the jetski.
A man in a dark wetsuit was riding it, with a 2ft- to 3ft-long black package on the front. He took it to a small “official-looking” grey boat moored just off the coast at Salema.
Man with bag spotted… Read all about it!
The McCanns’s spokesman said they were concerned the Portuguese police had not followed up such a “potentially significant lead”. Really.
GLASGOW DAILY RECORD: “Maddie Jetski Snatch Riddle”
A riddle? A man with a bag on a jet ski? A riddle? Or a man with a bag on a jetski?
CHILD snatchers may have smuggled Madeleine McCann out of Portugal on a jetski within 10 hours of her kidnap. Two new witnesses have emerged saying they saw a man carrying a large bundle on a beach near Praia da Luz the morning after Madeleine vanished.
They said the man sped off on a jetski with the 3ft-long load on his lap and met a small boat offshore.
A boat. Offshore. On the sea. Not on the land…
One witness, a 58-year-old British woman, says: “The man was acting very strange, he was dressed in black and left on a black jetski with a bundle on his lap. The bundle was definitely big enough to hold Madeleine. It could have been her.”
McCann spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “If these people had a sighting which is potentially significant, then clearly our investigators will require this information as a priority.”
THE SUN: “MADDY OFF ‘ON JET SKI’”
Say the Policia Judiciaria: “The Policia Judiciaria have carried out all the pertinent and sensible operation”
ARAB NEWS (Saudi Arabia): “Israel’s Moral Compass Is Flawed”
A propagandist called Linda Heard manages to aliken the disappearance of a missing child with terrorists firing rockets upon Israel and that country’s response:
Ponder on the morality of the media-inspired public response to Madeleine McCann as opposed to Gaza’s maimed and orphaned babies. According to the British newspaper Independent, there were 465 stories about her in the British press, the family received 1.1m pounds in public donations, while a host of celebrities — including Simon Cowell, Sir Richard Branson and J.K. Rowling — offered rewards totaling 2.6m pounds.
To the best of our knowledge, Kate and Gerry McCann have not vowed to push an entire nation of people’s into the sea, fired rockets upon them and used children as a human shield…

I saw that, probably horrify Parents, and panic them that although the twelve year old could be considered mature, girls of that age will be overprotected now. Let”s just
hope these are isolated incidents.
I notice the Ploice are narrowing their search for Shannon to the Family and Friends,
don”t think they would be doing this without a reason, do you?

Well be sure his “ignorant” status is going to be lifted soon
The new spin is just an other pathetic attempt at making us believe the mcBigots have no part whatsoever in “Madeleine”s abduction”.

‘The McCanns’s spokesman said they were concerned the Portuguese police had not followed up such a “potentially significant lead”. Really.’
Mitchell was not in Portugal at the time, which is why he is ignorant of, or feigns ignorance of, the reported event.
He is certainly ignorant of what the PJ’s response and investigation might have been.

Yes…..it was from an SOS Madeleine McCann report.
“”"”From SOS Madeleine McCann 2/3/08.
Translation…..
Sheree Dodd, one of the communications experts that
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Foreign Office -
had sent to Portugal to help the McCann couple manage
their media campaign on the disappearance of their
daughter Madeleine, has just been appointed by the
Speaker of the House of Commons, Michael Martin, to
improve his reputation and his relations with the media.
A former Daily Mirror journalist, Sheree Dodd has
worked as communication spokesperson for various
United Kingdom government services.
She works regularly for the Central Information Bureau
as an independent expert.
After nine days of work in Praia da Luz on Madeleine’s
disappearance, Sheree Dodd having raised several issues
judged to be sensitive by the Foreign Office, was
immediately replaced by Clarence Mitchell.
The name Sheree Dodd is part of a list of witnesses in
the Madeleine McCann trial.
(Editor’s note: yes it does say trial.)
Editor’s comment…I find that second to last sentence
rather ambiguous. I’m trying to decide if the author
means that after Sheree Dodd left PDL, she was immediately
replaced by Clarence Mitchell and it was nothing to do
with the sensitive issues raised or if Sheree was
immediately replaced because she brought up those issues.”"”"
End….
********************************
Certainly worth investigation…even if just to clarify matters.
I think Private Eye still has a “Coleman’s Balls” column.
Always a funny D E there.
Good ones….both !!!

Warnings over child snatch bids
Police have issued a warning to parents and children after a 12-year-old girl was abducted and an attempt was made to snatch a nine-year-old in Birmingham.
The incidents, within a day of each other and involving different men in dark green cars, are not being linked.
On Sunday in Alum Rock a man, described as Asian, tried to get the nine-year- old girl into his car but she ran away.
The second girl was pulled into a car by a man, described as white, in Erdington. She escaped unharmed later.
West Midlands Police said officers were going into local schools to warn youngsters to be careful when walking around on their own.
It is going on everywhere…………taken from BBC..
