Madleine McCann: Rachel Oldfield Knows, Doctors And Gerry McCann
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY MAIL: “Stop the carnival”
It’s Richard Littlejohn:
I’ve always been uneasy about the media carnival, but figured if that’s what got her parents through the night, what business was it of mine.
However, one year on, there’s something distasteful about the continuing round of claim and counter-claim, blame and counter-blame.
Gerry and Kate McCann should be left alone with their demons, with our sympathy, and not live out their guilt in public any longer. The police and the private detectives should be left to get on with their job.
The Tapas Seven, the McCanns’ PR man, the professional ghouls should all keep their theories to themselves.
And their opinions?
DAILY MIRROR: “Rachael Oldfield of the Tapas Seven breaks her silence over McCann’s torment”
Tapas Seven? And why speak now?
Rachael Oldfield, a 36-year-old recruitment consultant, said: “I was there on the night. I spent time with Gerry and Kate during the week before May 3 and after.
What happened?
“Their emotions and their reactions were just agonising. There’s just no way they were involved in anything to do with Madeleine’s disappearance.
“If you take the common sense approach and look at timings and the fact they are medics and there are four other medics in the group, they would know what to do to resuscitate a child.
Common sense? Doctors. Such are the facts.
“Anyone with an ounce of common sense would be able to see they couldn’t have done it. And I was there and I know they didn’t do it.”
DAILY STAR: “OUTRAGEOUS”
Rachel Oldfield has a pop at the Portuguese police, and complains about being bound by law to, er, keep quiet.
GLASGOW DAILY RECORD: “McCanns’ Anger At Being Kept In The Dark”
Says Gerry McCann: “I think it’s safe to say we’re getting very little information. We haven’t had any communication in terms of what’s been done in the investigation.”
“We would like to know what is being done to find Madeleine. We’ve always said we want to leave no stone unturned and to do that we need to know which stones have already been overturned.”
THE SUN: “Stop shifting blame, Kate”
IS it just me or are the McCanns getting on your nerves too?
It’s you. It’s them. It might be all of you.
Now, in a new TV documentary, Kate says that she wanted a baby monitor but the resort didn’t have one. So instead she, Gerry and the Tapas Seven made the bizarre decision to eat out every night and leave three young children home alone. I’m sorry, in any language that’s child neglect.
Sorry? Why is Gaunt sorry?
And, by the way, I’m not being heartless, just honest.
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “Madeleine McCann’s father: police gave up”
Mr McCann tells BBC Radio 4 interviewer Steve Kingstone: “We would like to know what is being done to find Madeleine. We’d like know who has been eliminated from the inquiry and on what grounds and what leads are still being followed.”
No news is news

So Amaral is going to tell us they looked for an abductor, anything else that won’t be seen as a blank cheque by C-y-g- Fucked.
——————————————
Oh, once the files are open you’ll know the rest…
**********
I am wondering how much we will actually know

One thing those files wont tell you is why Amaral and his henchmen leaked information to the Portuguese press.
We know it was to smear the McCanns but why would they need to do that I wonder?
******************
Evening all….evening Garfy, I see you’re still talking crap..let me help you out on this one…..Maybe it was to let the world know what a pair of evil tossers the Mcfools are..

” Er, given that Rachel Oldfield was saying exactly the same things to the British press last August it would appear that her signals really aren’t working… ”
I think in August they still must have thought “Don’t mess with the Portuguese, for the sake of Madeleine.” Sadly it seems that they now don’t count on the Portuguese any more.
—————————————
That’s nonsense.
Oldfield’s claims about the PJ got extensive coverage in the British press last August; how can you possibly decribe that as not messing with the Portuguese?
If she really had kept quiet up until now you might have a point.
But she didn’t…
April 26th, 2008 at 9:44 pm
Ah-Maria has gone and I am here!!!! Only joking…..she talks a lot of sense though.
-If Madeleine had walked out of the appartment that night, and been abducted-it would suit G and K to say that the abduction had not taken place away from the apartment-otherwise why leave a child in an appartment from which she could escape.
Same outcome-an abduction-but one is much more negligent as if she could walk out into the street, she could fall into the pool, fall down the steps-If, as they would not want to be seen to have left her ina more vulnerable state than being left alone with the twins in an unlocked appartment-that is, not only this but also able to get out…..and wander the streets-the first scenario is the lesser of the 2 evils-would suit purpose to say no way could she have got out-even if she could……..and did……….Da,da…daaaaaah

One must ask whether Amaral is on the payroll of somebody who is anti-PJ.
————————————————————
One might also find oneself on the end of a writ from Amaral for suggesting that he is on anyone’s payroll…

I cant understand at all the mccfools fuss about Amarals book
