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?

Slightly closer to being on-topic, the BBC has a lengthy article on
‘Killers who cry crocodile tears’
It’s an addition to its extensive coverage of the murder of Nisha Patel-Nasri.
Her husband and the people he hired to kill her were convicted today.

Hi all, I do hope this works.
One post only.
I blew up the laptop, not even windows safe mode works, screen stays black.
AND on top of that, I haven’t made a backup in months ……
Waiting for the IT man to solve it and to make a backup.
Using the media computer now, but typing is awful.
Chenier last night I promised you to answer today, but I’m afraid I have to postpone that. Sorry.
Bye

One end of afternoon question: why did the mccanns wanted and insisted to be out of the news AFTER the 12th of may?
May 28th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
They are yummy aren’t they? and Anorak rarely posts anything for us…agw did run to the Chippendales in the forums though.

Hi Julie
I would do with a pair of different boots everyday if it was me!!!
It is incredible that no one is really concerned about the truth and justice made to Madeleine.It is sickening but it will eventually happen.
By next week,there should be some official announcement although the PJ is taking a certain pleasure playing hide and seek at the moment
May 28th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
From Jo’s (338) link (hiya Jo
) :
“England “is one of the countries where the cooperation with foreign authorities is worst”, the source detailed. Through the international channels, the PJ could still use an international arrest warrant against the friends, but for a reconstitution that depends on the good will of everyone, this step will never be taken.”
___________________________
It’s so very sad that the ongoing fight to find out what happened to a defenceless 3 year old, has to depend on the”good will” of people! Thank f*ck these people are not my friends!
I reckon we should complete the application forms for all of them to become Portuguese citizens, so that Madeleine can receive FULL justice!
Mods and Admin
Julie,
I think the fact they have refused at the last fence, most people are quite shocked and saddened, and would gladly escort them to Portugal.
As you so rightly say a defenceless 3 year old, and her parents just stall.

There was a thread started by a “Robert M.” on 3arg’s earlier today. It was the poster’s 1st post and said something along the lines of thank you for all your support and hinting at some good news coming soon. The thread was locked by bjr after a few replies to this Robert M. - the poster was not in Portugal - and now seems to have disappeared entirely. But saw it all myself earlier.

Thanks, Muddler. That would explain the reference on the co-ordinated trolling thread; presumably the poster thought the alleged Robert was part of the alleged ‘co-ordinated trolling’…

I have said it before and I stand by it - the McCanns paid top money for a cream of the crop law firm to look after their legal interests. Odds are for that money they take their advice. In my thoughts they have been advised not to return by those lawyers as an agreement could not be reached for whatever reasons…
——————————————————-
Cheryl,
we have been told by their spokesman that they agreed to return to Portugual; it is other members of the T7 who have refused.
Can you tell us the source of your claim that it is the McCanns who have refused to return?

To add on to that, we have seen links on here posted, one by me, on the ‘past’ history of the Portugal Police treatment of suspects - Amaral and his ‘men’ now facing trial are living proof of their treatment of suspects, as was another case that was posted on here.
But one thing that came to my attention in my reseach on their lack of respect for human rights of suspects or prisoners is the link below. One very black mark on my country - the US - is Guantanamo and the prisoners over there and their horrible treatment. Further, is the common knowledge of using other countries to land and to take prisoners over by the CIA.
Look who was ‘in bed with us’ to enable us to secretly transport prisoners/suspects and to violate their human rights.

I wouldn’t go back to Portugal if I were a suspect even for traffic violation in that country.

A very dishevelled and hungover, equine, tried to clip clop silently in this morning.
The stable door is firmly shut, and no comb will be curried in her favour. When asked if any alcohol was consumed she answered Neigh.
Considering the company she has being keeping, I fully expect a pact of silence. However a sample has been sent to The Jockey Club.
I plan to make her return this evening for a reconstruction. If any posters around last night care to supply her with an alibi, err I mean time line, please forward them to her.
————————————-
I can say in all honesty that I have absolutely no memory whatsoever of anything which might have any bearing whatsoever on the timeline in question.
I am, however, perfectly prepared to undergo a cognitive procedure since it worked so well for Ms Tanner, but I should point out that there is no scientific basis for the belief that Botox improves the memory…

—————————————–
We don’t know what the Public Ministry officiallt said today; the CM newspaper article seems to be a rehash of the Court Judgement with a few misleading headlines and comments thrown in, just to remind us that the media can be as sensationalist in Portugual as it can be here….
