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

Jo,
But why judge someone just by the way their voice sounds or their posh accent? She might be genuinely unaware of what the truth is? I personally don’t think she knows what really happened and is now caught up in this whole drama.

Jo,
Yes, we all want justice. I just don’t like the fact that someone (anybody!) is going to make money out of the misfortune of a child. Maybe he will donate the profits to some good cause? That would be better, IMO.
—————————————
Indeed, just as Clarrie is donating his salary, Justine donating her fees, the McCanns’ lawyers donating their fees, and the McCanns donating their Fund income, all to a good cause.
Unfortunately, all of those people appear to believe that charity begins at home…

“Was her subconscious trying to tell us something?”
only one person that I have heard of throughout the last 2000 years could resuscitate a dead child …..JC and even then a lot of the testimony is very difficult to back up with any provable evidence

Oh …yes,it was,via her very posh “you-knô”- voice….
They might not have killed her but may be they try resuscitaion

The own confusion syndrome,you mean
It is incredible how a voice can have such an effect on me
April 26th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
815 noseycow, no, I don’t think and don’t call you a liar.
My impression is that Fair understood M&A’s explanation “Judging by the email and Ip , it was the real McCoy” in the sense, that your IP was the same as ever. Wheras M&A’s the statement simply says that you are posting from an IP adress that makes it clear you are yourself. Meaning: noseycow on holiday.
April 26th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
firestar thanks but as I am posting on the rhiad wireless network I assume my ip address would be a touch different from usual
Anyway I know where I am and my family know where I amand that’s all that matters
So finally I to the pool

No.
I think that the most likely explanation is that Oldfield had a number of points she wanted to get across, and she simply did not realise how it would sound.
The own goal syndrome…
April 26th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
all you have to remember is that everything digital is made up of lots of 1’s and 0’s.
because of this, digital info will always do exactly what it’s told to do, regardless of the rules or laws of society.
in other words, you can’t take anything as being correct on the internet, ever, as all you see is what the system has been told to show you.

I’d like to go back to this quote from R.Oldfield in yesterday’s Mirror:
“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.”
“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.”
What does she mean by “it”? M’s disappearance?
By disappearance does she mean “vanishing” or “death”
So there was something she calls “it”.
But it wasn’t them what did “it”.
So somebody else did”it”.
But the “it” needed skills in resuscitation.
So “it” doesn’t refer to kidnapping.
Was her subconscious trying to tell us something?
*********************************
The use of the words (It) and (disappearance) may be very telling, after being bombarded by (abduction) for the past 11 months. This seems to be a new phase maybe an attempt to put even more distance between the Mecons and JT’s abductor story

Question from a compter dunce.
If a regular poster posts from a different country wouldn’t their IP be different to their normal IP?
Isn’t IP about location?
Me..not a clue, but always trying to understand!
————
Yes, the IP shows the location.
————-
not necessarily.
some proxy servers will alter your ip address, by forwarding their ip rather than yours.
i sometimes use an american one if i want to download stuff that’s restricted to u.s downloaders only.
you can do the same thing from abroad if you want to look at the british parts of the bbc site that don’t allow downloading from abroad, in which case you’d use a british proxy server.
not all of them change the ip address though.

You mean the workers are earning that kind of money? surely they could put some
by for retirement, I wouldn”t advise investing in Shares though!!!!!!!
As if the U.K. is not in a bad enough state as it is, I don”t blame anyone for withdrawing
their labour if they have a genuine grievance, but this does as you say seem greed is the
motive.
Maybe we all ought to start again, Communism didn”t work, Capitalism surely doesn”t,
so there must be a better system for the distribution of wealth.

What Fair probably meant was: How can somebody have the same IP as at home, when he/she is on holiday.
