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

Chenny without a body……………………….”And if you can find a section in it which says the charge can only be brought if the police trace the body do please quote it…”
Who said that, and it was already covered by the offences against the persons act……body or no body.
Must be good gear your on.

Athough the post by Chenier (1344)is welcome, informative and well written, bringing as it does good news on the issue of accountability in domestic violence against children; It is non sequitur in terms of a reply to the post (1244) by Maria, IMO.From what I can see chenier has done the very things she accuses Maria of doing “… what concerned me was that instead of replying to points raised earlier in the debate, you were simply dumping an extremely lengthy article.”
Maria posted an article which was informative and compelling for me at least and if it wasn’t acceptable surely she should have been told by the M&A not chenier who is not a moderator?.Having been at the recieving end of this type of criticism from chenier myself I would like it noted in this instance. By the way both articles were excellent and this is my humble opinion.

RR can you give me a reason to believe Rio Ferdinand is worth £30mill, cos Ferguson was nuts enough to pay the fee don’t make him a player, he’s a fukin carthorse.
So because some source alludes to some dark deeds by the fragrant duo, it aint necessarily so, as the song goes.

sorry Gandolf I think i must be on the wrong thread….How stupid of me, I thought this was about an innocent little girl who has possibly died at the hands of….well you know what i think gandy…

No Chenny I aint overlooking anything, what you seem to be implying is that if the Portuguese don’t bring charges the British can, offences against the persons act, even without a body.
If you believe that will ever happen, I will have some of what you are on.
—————————————————–
Actually it’s got nothing to do with ‘offences against the persons act’.
It’s called the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004 which introduced the new offence of causing or allowing the death of a child or vulnerable adult.
And if you can find a section in it which says the charge can only be brought if the police trace the body do please quote it…

It was only another spin. Mitch writes, what the people want to hear and read. Uturn from a witness- under the secrecy from the portuguese police- unbelievable.

“afternoon all…..afternoon gandy, a question for you my friend..Are we supposed to be impressed by the fact you tell everyone you’re a dope smoker..???”
my thoughts exactly
most of my musical colleagues (like me - that are still alive) have passed through certain phases and are quite moderate in their intake of intoxicating substances.
they play better too
sadly it’s a shame the excellent nick drake didn’t follow suit

Excellent rr, you concede justice, so you will also concede that the parents may be innocent of all, neglect apart.
———————————————————-
I think you may be overlooking the relevant provisions in the 2004 act.
‘Investigating officers should remember that a victim can be put at risk by neglect. If a child dies of neglect and other household members knew of the significant risk of serious injury from neglect, they could be guilty of the new offence.’
With a maximum sentence of 14 years…

SteveT,
If you are implying that one of the others was with the kids unbeknownst to the parents, well, that would be a different story! But, if they knew someone was with the kids, why not say it, instead of admitting that they left them alone. I think the kids were alone more than one night.
Well, I’ve got to to.
Good Night everybody!
