Had you bothered to read the case law referred to you would probably have found it incomprehensible, but at least it would have given you some clue as to why the McCanns have claimed apparently from the start, with no evidence to support it, that a dastardly villain stole their daughter

Had you bothered to read the case in question you would be aware that I was not insulting your intelligence.

Their Lordships can write with pellucid clarity on a wide range of topics, but this wasn’t one of them.

The Borstal Boys judgement threw a large spanner in the works of negligence claims in this country; the ratio decidendi is more or less incomprehensible.

On occasions the Courts decide what the right answer is and dispense with providing a rational way to get there; much easier to do if it’s the House of Lords when there was no-one to argue with them.

The fact that you cannot be bothered to read the case says rather more about you than it does about Anorak; there’s no shortage of informed discussion here, on a very wide range of topics.

Regrettably from time to time there is a surplus of people who imagine that their role in life is to reprove us for our shortcomings whilst making no contribution to the discussion; informed or otherwise…

What… you mean for the past 12 months or so?

Indeed, Coolandcalm, she was complaining about the posters, we don’t take kindly to posters arriving with nothing to say other than offering abuse regarding other posters offerings.

Leeza apparently feels that the forum should be more informative for her benefit.

If she wishes to complain that the forum is not sufficiently informative for her then she should complain to the editor - not the other posters.

Leeza, IMO forum has been running for a long time and many posters have got to know each other (virtually) so it does inadvertently become cliquey sometimes and posters post even when there’s no news on Madeleine mcCann.
Best thing to do is not comment negatively and scroll the rude posters. Makes for an easy life all round!

MODS AND ADMIN

Leeza, I think you are labouring under several misapprehensions here.

Anorak is not a dedicated Madeleine McCann Forum, it is a satirical news site. We have been here for 12 years now in our present format.

There are several dedicated Madeleine McCann sites around that you might be happier with. Some of them are totally humourless and very intensive.
If you do not like our format, can I suggest that you move onto a site that you do like, rather than abuse our posters who are generally a pretty cheery and witty crowd.
If you merely wish to complain about the way in which this site is run, would you address your remarks to editor@anorak.co.uk - rather than to our other posters.

Had you bothered to read the case law referred to you would probably have found it incomprehensible, but at least it would have given you some clue as to why the McCanns have claimed apparently from the start, with no evidence to support it, that a dastardly villain stole their daughter

Tosh.

That is the hole they are trying to wriggle out of; they think they’ve found a way to avoid the negligence charge in this country.

Unsurprisingly they really don’t want to test their theory in Court…

You must be joking! why dont you get a LIFE????
____________________________________________________________It wasn’t a joke. Chit chat has all but destroyed this thread and gives a false impression that interest in the discussion topic has died. You did not address my point but just got nasty as do too many posters here, GOODBYE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!

and many more

both Bountys xxxxxxxxxxx

another 7 birthday, all the best people are born on the 7th day of a month.

” we may have to age we don’t have to mature”

I am screaming mad about what happened to Madeleine, and what happens to other children all over the world every single day. BUT, if I couldn’t find my way to have a SENSE OF HUMOUR (take careful note Leeza and Cheryl), they would have to come and take me off to the funny farm permanently - ok, I’ll go clean the house now

No, no; but if you watch the video in my post currently languishing in moderation over on the Obabma video thread you’ll probably want to stick your head in a gas oven too…

Brilliant video Chenier - Thank-you. Sobering.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes
The George thread . ….oh bummer, maybe next year when I am 16 and can understand their spelling and colloquialisms, but at 25 today…

May you have a marvellous day free of work. I have hand picked a beautiful Cape wine for you, and shall shortly be pouring it through here …. ENJOY YOUR SPECIAL DAY
