Madeleine McCann: No Portugal Return, Maddy TV And Paris Hilton
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
It’s the Mirror’s “MADELEINE EXCLUSIVE”. The news is – as Anorak reported last night – that the Tapas Seven (surely the Sangria 7? –Ed) will not be returning to Portugal to take part in a reconstruction of the night Madeleine went missing.
A source says: “They were asked informally to return, then asked again in an official letter last week. After some consideration they decided not to go back. They were concerned it would not be televised, and were bemused as to why it was happening so long after Madeleine disappeared.”
And who would play Madeleine? Her? Her? What about “Look Into My Eyes”, a TV talent show search for a Madeleine fronted by Trevor McDonald and GMTV?
Remember Kelsey: “Mummy, I could play Madeleine. I look just like her’”?
THE SUN: “No re-run for Maddie cops”
What does Lorraine Kelly think? It was she who said:
How could someone put their infant child forward as a Madeleine lookalike with the idea of making money? The child obviously has to be around the same age as Madeleine.
Is a Madeleine needed? After all, she is missing…
Unless it was to specifically aid the campaign, how could they all live with themselves for making money out of the tragic disappearance of a little girl?
It makes you recoil to think a lookalike agency would have a Madeleine on their books alongside someone who looks like Jack Nicholson or Paris Hilton.
Disgusting! To think that Maddy should be with the likes of Jack the lads or Hilton makes our flesh turn cold. It’s nothing less than sick.
DAILY MAIL: “Madeleine reconstruction scrapped after ’suspicious’ McCanns refuse to return to Portugal to take part”
The Mail has the details: The McCanns are “both doctors.”
Says a Source: “They also question why it was not to be televised and why police just want the nine and not other holidaymakers and staff to take part.”
GLASGOW DAILY RECORD: Says Clarence Mitchell:
“The friends had a number of serious questions about the value of the reconstruction and what it would do to help find Madeleine. After some discussion, they have informed the Portuguese authorities they do not intend to go back.
“Gerry and Kate have not refused to go back. They were aware of their friends’ view and they are now not needed for the reconstruction. There were a number of serious questions. For instance, why did they want to hold a reconstruction more than a year after the event?
“Why was the reconstruction not to be televised? That would have generated new leads and information but if it is not televised, how on earth is that going to help find Madeleine? Why did they only want the nine people back? Why didn’t they ask all the other holidaymakers back?
“Frankly, the police and the authorities in Portugal did not answer the simple question: what will this do to help find Madeleine?”
Do the police have to televise their police work to make it valid?
Madeleine McCann TV: are you sitting comfortably?

Do the public know why they have that status? Must be difficult for everyone trying to guess the reasons why so many arguidos were awarded this honour. Perhaps it is the Portuguese equivalent of Lord Levy and Lord Archer
Seriously though have you got a source to substantiate the ‘ thousands of arguidos in Portugal going about their lives as if nothing has happened’ comment? I know Hannan wrote about the MEPS but I could not find any justification for that either?

Do we think the Dippy Seven and K & G are still now as “close” as they once were ? …do they go out together still ? with, or without, children ?…if so, what would they talk about ? ( answers on a pin-head please ) I feel they will be avoiding each other like the plague, and - if they ever did cross paths - there would be some really awkward, long-drawn-out silences…I could be wrong of course…………
———————————————
Of course you are wrong, Ann.
These are dear friends united in their unswerving devotion to trying to find Madeleine, however long it takes, and at whatever cost to themselves, and reunite her with her family.
At this very moment they would have been winging their way to Portugual, were it not for the unfortunate breakdown in communication following Clarence going down with an acute case of amnesia.
Alternatively, that could be the Tapas 7 going down with an acute case of amnesia; in either case we can be sure that they are still friends united, if not reunited, in the never ending search for whatsername…

SKY NEWS, just breaking
Fadi Nasri found guilty of the murder of Nisha Patel-Nasri, the beautiful 29 yr old Special Constable stabbed outside her home.
Fadi took part in emotional appeals for witnesses, and “helped in every way” with the enquiry.
GUILTY.
Always look at the family.

If they want it televised and are using public space, can they do it without asking the police authorities? (Here, they should ask, as the Police have to deviate traffic, and make sure all the security regulations are respected). If they do it inside the resort only, they probably only need the resort’s agreement.

Maybe Pinewood could build a set and they could reconstruct in UK.
may I just point out about the Arguido saga. I’ve read a few times that the ‘Arguido Status’ was extended for another three months. It wasn’t.
The extension that was granted was for keeping the secrecy of the evidence in place for another three months. ie, not handing it over the the defence.
The Arguido status is always ongoing.. there is no end date unles the PJ decide to lift the status. They could decide to lift it tomorrow or in 1/2/3/4 years time. Unless the three of them appeal in the meantime.
There are many thousands of arguidos in Portugal going about their lives as if nothing has happened.

” Ferdinand, they don’t have to wait till the case is shelved and unsolved.
They can go now and keep the video. ”
Well, honestly, I don’t think that the Tapas9 are the enemies of the PJ. The enemy the PJ has to fear is the Portuguese public opinion. The PJ is seeking for a face saving way out (towards their own people). The Tapas9 are made scapegoat therefore, but they’re not Portuguese, so they don’t care about internal Portuguese affairs.
The case will be buried in two weeks, during the Euro2008.

Duncan,
If you question your own sanity, you are OK IMO.

May 28th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Another idea:
Tapas 9 could make a reconstruction themselves and keep the video to use it during their defence.
They could show how they all are innocent, if they are.
The PJ will understand it

” why don’t Tapas 9 go to Portugal and make a reconstruction themselves and ask a tv channel to broadcast it for them? ”
Maybe this will soon happen.
” Arguidos have rights, I’m sure the McCanns will manage this.
They have excellent lawyers, they will make it. ”
They don’t need lawyers for it. Or do you think it is not allowed to do a private reconstruction once a police case is shelved unsolved?

Tosh.
According to the press statement he’s lobbed out he’s aware of all the discussions; he specifically says so.
He is the person who told the press all about it.
As Anorak so helpfully records directly above these posts.
And yet within a few hours he’s telling Gaunty he doesn’t know why?
He’s gone from laryngitis to amnesia; a worrying set of symptoms in any event.
You’d think someone would have steered him in the direction of some competent medics…

As Chenier said, some try to clear the plot, some try to complicate it.
They all have obvious reasons to do so.
In the re-construction issue, we know who wants to know, and who doesn’t want “them” to know. At least, that is one thing we know for sure.
I really doubt the common sense of those who honestly find the reasons to duck the re-construction ingenuous. There are a few people on this site whose sanity I am worried about this morning.
