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

As you said yourself this is all about an innocent child?? You also mentioned that someone should show respect. Can you do that too??
Would be nice!

“oh come on Chenier how can leaving 3 little kids, all under the age of 4, night after night all alone in a strange apartment in a foreign country, “unlocked” with concrete steps leading down to the road and a deep swimming pool within crawling distance, not to mention a main road rather nearby, and of course all the other possible dangers such as electricity, water (bath), knives in the kitchen, cleaning chemicals in the kitchen……….get real how the hell could that possibly be neglectful”
And i wrote….
“Completely off topic Wooster, but i wonder if parents in different WM complex’s would have to sign a disclaimer to use the baby listening service for the very points you mention”?
What do you reckon?

Easy answer mate will be a ‘yes’or ‘no’ followed by a reason why. Hope that helps

But (purposely?) didn’t answer the question did you? Therefore one has to assume that you will continue with the sleezy talk on a site (which you have said) is actually for an innocent little girl!
If that is is the case (which you have failed to say is not) then up to you ( & your concience) & of course others.
Oh & a very good evening to you too.

Completely off topic Wooster, but i wonder if parents in different WM complex’s would have to sign a disclaimer to use the baby listening service for the very points you mention?
What do you reckon?
blimey we appear to be discussing the case….what the hells wrong with us, were supposed to be at each others throats 
Im sure it wont last hey??
********************
at the end of the day Garfy they knew the risks…as far as im concerned it can only ever be the “parents” that are responsible for their own kids. When I go away with my kids i either take them out with me to eat or I stay in with the kids. I dont leave them on their own to go out on the piss. And for what its worth, its somewhat irrelevant anyway as I dont believe Maddie was abducted, not even for a second do i believe that. Im convinced she died at the hands of one or both her parents…just my opinion mate but until someone shows me even a single reason to believe otherwise im sticking with that theory.

It’s the same over here. People looked sort of “astonished” when I began to give “details” on the case.
But it was the same years ago when I got “interested” in the cases of Louise Woodward and O.J. “The Glove” Simpson.
*********************
I remember both cases well…. i was in the states when when oj was “getting away with murder”…… there were people selling badges “oj guilty” and “oj not guilty” ….some people made a lot of money from what i remember
