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?

M & A,
Yeah maybe some people could relax, but myself? no way, all i would think of is the pics of maddie sitting by the pool, or the tapas bar over and over again, the whole resort has been pictured in every paper all over the world for all the wrong reasons, there will be a hell of a lot of people out there that felt the same, especially when there are so many other places to go to.
Just my opinion of course.
M and A
Takes people different ways, but for Maddie I should light a candle for her to be at peace. What I couldn’t do is remain in the house without her.

Murat has apparently posted on the 3arses and been whoosh clunked.
M and A
Murat posted there? says who? they were praying for him to post about a month ago…….
May 28th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
sorry coolandcalm, but they would have to pay me £385 to stay there, after the stigma that has been left by the McCircus clan.
I mean who can honestly say they would be able to relax by the pool or have tapas at the bar after everything that’s happened.
I think that Mark Warner should be the ones to sue for loss of earnings after the actions of two selfish parents.
M and A
Dee,
Carmen was down there last month, and she relaxed and enjoyed herself, it isn’t the place , its the people, surely?

I hope that includes flights as £385 pp is a lot. Normally apartments don’t charge per person just for the apartment.
If that’s for 4 with no flighs included then it’s £1540 for the apartment for a week in June!! (bloody hell!)
I can do a much much better deal in the C Del S!!

Hello everyone,
I haven’t been around to post for a while, but i have been looking at some of the british publics’ remarks, re: The McCann Clan, on other forums/newspapers, popular opinion has reached the point where they no longer have people feeling sorry for them!
This latest gaff about the recon has left them looking like the scum they really are (imo)
XxX

I’ve just had an offer email through…. Mark Warner are offering hols at the Ocean Club in PDL in June for 40% off. £385 per person.
Very tempting.

Ann,
We are happily nuts, mixed in with a swig of merlot etc, some nice bitter choccy chucked in….who needs sanity?
=================================================
With you on the Merlot, have to opt out of the choccy (…see previous postings re: post op.) and anyway…insanity is MUCH more fun than sanity !! if you’re sane, you have to say sensible things and have proper opinions, and use the proper knife and fork, but if you’re not…you can say and do what you like !!! har!! you can wear purple and red together and wear sandals in the rain and nobody says anything…!! they just look the other way and whistle nonchalantly….

Thanks Chenier. I will look in again late this evening
BTW Your post yesterday comparing the UK and Portuguese approach to criminal prosecution was very helpful in explaining some of the reasons why the arguido status can be lengthy.

I posted the full judgement yesterday, the judgement uses the definitive word “possible” and names no party suspected of these possible crimes, the CDM is on a par with 24horas.
———————————–
The headline does appear to be ’speculative’ to put it at its kindest.
About the only point of interest is the question of how any investigating body could apply for disclosure of mobile phone information before a crime has been committed; presumably the PJ will now have to set up a psychics branch, where skilled precognitors will beaver away night and day…
May 28th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
I don’t know about 24 Horas.
But I know that Portuguese news papers are reliable.
They always fight to search the truth.
May 28th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
The question of sanity and posting on Anorak do not go hand-in-glove, we are Philosophers of the World…!! We are the Righters of Wrongs..!! We are Champions of the Cause ..!! ( ..any cause will do…) We are dweeble blibble blurb ha ! ha! ha! sane as mice !!!!!

Oh what could I have been thinking of ? shame on me…..!!
Well none of them tried very hard a year ago to do anything about it so I think we will all be dry, dusty and covered in cobwebs if we sit around waiting for them to do anything now…!!

I mean by the Portuguese police. We have already heard some of this from Aunt Phat Phil and McJustine

The article itself does not appear to say so; I am relying, however on the Google translation.
But it seems to be all about the appeals on the mobile phones; that is stuff we talked about yesterday…

Is this the first naming of the reasons for the arguido status?
BTW I think the murder translation may also include manslaughter - both being homicide

They”d rather help looking for their kid and FIND her,then,if they want their arguido status lifted off,coz otherwise,as M is reported as “missing”,her body has not been found…it will take a few years,unless of course,they are arrested

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…
