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?

Ease off Chenier.
I have not insulted the PJ.I know when I insult and when I dont.
YES.The PJ is playing games,right now.So what? is this an “insult”?
I really do not see any insult in this.I may not have your beautifully extended and well written english but I know what I say and when I say it.I maintain I do/did NOT insult the PJ,otherwise i just tell you one more thing: I would NOT be here playing the fool on anorak
There is something else I could say and this would not be an insult but it would just look like a big whack around the face,so I”d rather shut up
Mods and Admin
I think there is just some basic misunderstanding here, I don’t believe Jo holds the PJ in contempt , I think its just a language thing, perhaps the french Jouer and the English ‘play’ have a slightly different meaning in this context ?
If she were an alternative Clarrie, noone would ever use him again, she convinces me anyway

Jo could you find Portuguese Govt or legal system to refer us to for this?
***************
Portuguese Judicial Code

a) By exposing her in a place where the person is subject to a situation which she cannot defend herself from on her own; or

is punished with a prison term of 1 to 5 years.
2 - If the fact is practised by an ascendant or descendant, adoptant or adoptee of the victim, the agent is punished with a prison term of 2 to 5 years.
3 - If the fact results in:
a) Serious offense to the physical integrity, the agent is punished with a prison term of 2 to 8 years;

Jo,
The blog article you cited is dated 21st April.
Not exactly an up to the minute description of the current state of play.
Frankly, the way you describe the PJ is an insult to the PJ.
I do wonder why someone who professes to respect the PJ so frequently makes derogatory statements about them.
************
Yes.On purpose because there was the bit about the penal code
You should know it is very far from my mind to insult the PJ or simply be derogatory.I do not feel I did this at any time at all
If you refer to the (sad) joke of “sardine munchers”…it has become a classic.I really do not know what you are about
—————————————
Jo, you say that it is far from your mind to be derogatory about the PJ, but nevertheless you repeatedly make derogatory comments about them.
You claim that they are playing, that they are pretending, over and over and over again.
Those are insults to the good name and the professionalism of the PJ.
And then, having insulted them, you claim to be supporting them.
I judge the Tapas 7 on the basis of their actions, not their words. I note that they pretend to want to help but don’t ever do anything to help.
I judge your posts in the same way.
You insult the PJ, and then you say that in your mind you support them.
Claiming that in some strange way it is in your mind that counts, not what you say in public as a matter of record is the sort of behaviour that I expect from Clarence Mitchell…

It may suit the PJ’s purposes for the McCanns to believe the world thinks the Tapas 7 are the reason there will be no reconstruction of May 3.
I agree with this: it suits the PJ who knew before hand the reconstruction would not happen.Before this other sad happening,they extended the mccanns status….I wonder why

May 28th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
322 - Scarlett — “[Coldwater said that] the Tapas 7 are all ready and willing to go to PDL, whatever might be claimed in the press.”
I think it may be true that the Tapas 7 WERE willing to return to Portugal. If the Tapas 7 have lawyers separate from the McCanns’ — and they’s be nuts not to have their own lawyers — these lawyers very well may be advising their clients not to talk to the press at all. Clarence Mitchell is a paid spinner, so I trust NOTHING that comes out of his mouth. It would be just like CM to blame others for the McCanns’ own refusal to return to Portugal. And, if the Tapas 7 have been advised to keep their mouths shut, they may not correct CM in public…at this time. It may suit the PJ’s purposes for the McCanns to believe the world thinks the Tapas 7 are the reason there will be no reconstruction of May 3.

But if, like you say the PJ know, then maybe they ought to get on and do something instead of playing charades.

Are the PJ playing charades?

Someone is certainly playing.
Do you have faith in any police force Garth, would you be saying the same had the McCanns been holidaying in Tenby for instance, and the same events occured?
May 28th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Is this a dig at McCanns by the BBC? Close to the bone don’t you think, today of all days?

Thank for that.I know you are.
Look I wont try to convince you of anything but wait and see.
I think the PJ is playing around a bit,yes…after all,they have been seriously insulted and all.The PJ will decide,in fact it is not up to the PJ but the prosecutor as you know.
The T9 have made mistakes after mistakes.Their refusal to go speaks volume.They can be fined for that and they should have been advised properly.Obviously, they were not or they are extremely stupid (I think they are very very stupid)
Lets wait and see what will happen over the next days if not…… months! but I doubt it
How would you react if they are proven guilty?
May 28th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
It’s a blog!!! It’s not a source.
May 28th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
“The Public Ministry has collected enough evidence to accuse the McCanns even if there is or not a re-enactment of the facts that occurred in the day the girl went missing”.
See? It does not really matter if they go or not
reconstruction or not.
Since april,”things” are on the way
What is happening now is the whole group is making obstruction to justice…..I am not sure this is going to go down very well,is it?
Scroll down to read the article about the Portuguese Judicial Code
Rather clear

Are the PJ playing charades?Its a usual procedure that family come under suspicion, and it could be folly if the family allow those doubts to flourish. But perhaps explain to us why returning is of no purpose? After all the parents saw no need for babysitters, and yet now they say they may have been stalked? So why not discuss that point with PJ, or is it just a nebulous ‘maybe we might have been’
May 28th, 2008 at 8:19 pm

This really is meant as a sincere question……
You seem to know what’s going on.

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
==================================
”It is incredible that no one is really concerned about the truth and justice made to Madeleine”
I think lots of people here are very concerned about the truth and justice made to Madeleine. Also many many millions of people throughout the world are also concerned!

Anybody-so what happens next? No reconstruction-what is the next date for our calendars? Or non-date?
May 28th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
Slightly closer to being on-topic, the BBC has a lengthy article on the
‘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.
The spam trap won’t let me post the link, but it’s fairly easy to find it on the BBC…
