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?

Hi Duncan.
Hope things are okay and hope you had a good birthday last week.

Deceitful, pretending, playing games, how about plain incompetent.

And how do YOU know I do not have evidence the PJ is playing games?
WHY do you insist so much?To make me say things I will NOT say? Very wrong approach,Chenier,very wrong
Now,I believe if I was insulting the PJ,even bordering libel,SURELY,M&A would have told me off already to protect their very own back: do you remember what happened to CM????Surely,Paul Sorene would not like this to happen to him as an owner of this site,would he?
————————————————————
If you have evidence that the PJ is playing games, and pretending, then produce it.
After all, by now you will have grasped that those expressions, in English, are derogatory.
All this tosh about having secret knowledge which you are guarding is precisely that; tosh.
I don’t believe it; the PJ are competent and reputable professionals who are not going to provide secret information so that someone can go and post on a blog about it.
Particularly to someone who insults them on a regular basis…

I guess the case will be shelved in about two weeks (between June 8 and June 12). Unless there are new developements in the matter.

I would have thought that they all had copies of their own statements. Therefore no need to have to remember.
It’s not up to them to decide how the PJ conduct their investigation.
Have the PJ called their bluff by stating that the recon has to include them all?
Will they now request just the Mc’s return?
Can they make them all arguidos (from Portugal) & then make them all return? (that would really sort out the men from the boys & send them into reorganisation mode)
Will they un arguido Murat & let him ”chat”?

Hello Fair-what do you think will happen next? I’m at a loss-Doesn’t look like it is progressing IMO….Or will Madeleine just become a memory. Wish i could have looked after her.

I want to talk to her too but it gets impossible sometimes.
Ask a question then…..!
May 28th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
Jo
Just don’t keep saying you know stuff when….
1. You don’t.
or
2. You do but are not prepared to say.
or
3. You are doing it for attention.
I have no idea which is true but it is getting a tad tedious!

Jo could get a touch carried away with things, but there was no need to chase her off the site.
Perhaps you could repeat your post to her in French?
However, I have emailed Admin about this, so you and Chenier can do your explaining to him
May 28th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
Doh, how long will I be in botheration…I mean moderation?
Come back Jo-I’ll talk to you, may not always agree with you but I agree with your sentiment.

This is going on at unnecessary length.
Jo, your English is very fluent, but the nuances which are gained over the years in everyday speech and humour aren’t quite as subtle as those with English as a mothertongue. we know when not to slag off those in authority and need to show respect, and drop the asides.
But I do not see you as a Clarrie

I really do not know what Chenier and Fair are ranting about and why but I will just be off.
I will NOT say what I COULD say.
This is for both of you and certainely,the administrators of this site
A bon entendeur,salut
Google the expression,at least you will be able to learn some french words….the meaning would be far too streched for you

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
————————————————-
Jo,
Claiming that your words mean the opposite of what they actually do mean is a typical PR stunt.
Claiming that the PJ are ‘playing games’ is an insult; ‘playing games’ means being deceitful.
‘Pretending’ means being deceitful.
Those are insults, and you don’t need my wonderful and extensive vocabulary to know that because the dictionary can provide it for you.
You have provided no evidence of any kind to support the claim that the PJ is being deceitful.
You might remember what happened when Clarence Mitchell accused the PJ of it.
May I suggest that you consider the advantages of laryngitis?
Either that or provide some evidence to support your claims that the PJ is being deceitful…
M and a
Chenier, English and all its nuances isn’t Jo’s mother tongue, but I don’t feel she is a Clarence Mitchell. My french is disused, but Carmen shall be back soon and her French is fluent, and she can explain to Jo your fears.

bad news this is for your computer! go to the mccannsfiles and read the articles.Some are from 24 horas,so we know,not very “clean” others are from Correio da Manhã and this is a respectable newspapers.
If this was the case-neglect- they would have been charged a long time ago.
Draw your own conclusions.Personally,I wont say anymore .Sorry.

As much as I respect Joana’s work I promised myself ages ago that I would not go onto her site again as it F**ks up my computer!! And it did again. As you can see from the time of my response that is the time it has taken me to get rid of it + hibernating & troubleshooting! I know others have also complained in the past.
I will NOT do it again. GRRR!!
BUT for you I did!
The article talks about neglect. We know they can face charges of neglect!
May 28th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
Note the article is exactely the same whatever from google or the mccanfiles…….
