…………………………………………………….

I have only just read your post and can only say that I agree whole-heartedly with everything you say !! Only thing I would add is that Shannon seems to have more sense than the whole lot of them put together if she can see that being where she is, with what she now has, is infinitely better than what she had, Heaven knows where that would have all ended.

On Sky news they said that this is the first time the friends will have been interviewed about the events…. previously they only gave statements that were then translated, thereby causing the confusion?
I hadn’t realised they had never been interviewed/questioned…. am assuming its correct? anyone know?
———————————————————————

It beggars belief if they haven’t already been properly interviewed, doesn’t it? It does perhaps explain why Tanner was at pains to say on Panorama that she’d be only too pleased to be interviewed, here or in Portugal. “I’d go back tomorrow if it would help.” she said.

And what about all the other people who might have relevant information?

Nearly a year on and only now interviewing formally the principal witnesses??!!

The Mcs will apparently be away for part of the time but the police have indicated they don’t want to speak to them at the moment anyway. That is a pre-planned visit to Brussels but will be interpreted by some as “running away”!! (As if they could run away!) On the other hand, if they’d stayed, people would have accused them of wanting to keep in touch with their friends and “control” what was being said, or to glean some idea of what questions they themselves might be asked if the police change their mind and ask to speak to them after all, or simply to seek publicity, never being able to keep themselves out of the limelight!

What do you think, c and c, about the story that they weren’t wearing watches? Bizarre! I assumed it was the same rubbish as we’ve seen so often, made up by some reporter and then transmuted into “gospel”. However, I saw a comment about it a couple of days ago and attributed to Mitchell. Any thoughts? Most odd if true. Even odder if he, or they, made it up because it sounds so unlikely?!

The PJ are here, finally finally finally.
Do you think they are at all nervous?

And I would also guess:
- Shannon Matthews’ mother will not be charged in connection with her disappearance;
- she might be charged with protecting the boyfriend, weirdly described as Shannon’s
’stepfather’;
- if it was a money-making scam, then Karen Matthews was not directly involved;
- none of those arrested / involved are remotely clever enough to fool the police;
- the supportive friends from the Dewsbury estate will never get over this;
- if Shannon’s ‘lucky’ enough, she will live an entirely different life and maybe get a
different sort of education and job;
- the kitten only goes to show how important it is to have something to love.

It has taken on a life of its own.

Similar to the media telling you that ‘everybody is talking about X’, where X is a TV show. X may well be complete rubbish, but it gets hyped out of all proportion, and people feel that they’re missing out if they don’t watch it. Viewing rating soar, so ergo…it must be good!

I take a passing interest in the MM case, and also in the SM case, which is much nearer to home (geographically…) for me. But it is only a passing interest, as there are plenty more news stories about that carry more weight, and are of a greater importance to me.

Good morning! One does wonder why everyone focuses back on the McCann case? Remember in school the teacher would give a word and tell the students to form a sentence using it? Maybe one could sort out ‘why’ the old school teacher way. Obsession. Revenge. Blood thirsty. Self-righteous. Superiority. Condemnation. Compassion. Guilt. Pity. Inferior. Jealous. Pettiness. Consumed. Self-image. Hateful.

He might be alright with a bag on his head, better make it two bags incase the first one falls off

Gloria get well soon

Alternate paracetamol and ibruprofen every three hours - with lots of hot lemon & honey. Also echinacea & vitamin c.

Alternatively 4 or 5 brandy / babyshams will kill all known germs dead ( or you won’t care any more).

“Young MAN!”
