Madeleine McCann: Child Alert, Daily Mail Knows And Fay Weldon
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY MIRROR: “McCanns win child alert fight MADELEINE”
Kate and Gerry McCann yesterday won their fight for an EU-wide missing child alert system, in tribute to their daughter Madeleine. A declaration supporting the couple’s plea attracted backing from at least 398 MEPs - more than half the 785 European Parliament members.
Or as the Mail said earlier in the week: DAILY MAIL: “Brussels throws out McCann’s appeal for European missing child alert system”
THE INDEPENDENT: “Cultural Life: Fay Weldon, Author”
Film
I went to see Ben Affleck’s Gone Baby Gone for Radio 3’s Saturday Review. “Emotionally disturbing” it claimed to be, with its echoes of the Madeleine McCann case, and so it was, and a welcome change from the dull, written-to-formula films that pour from major studios. If profit rather than enthusiasm is the bottom line, all you get is variations on what made a profit last year.
On it goes…

Maddie case will be decided by the end of July Diário de Notícias
“…..the lawyer João Grade dos Santos, while having no knowledge of the process, is peremptory when he states to DN that “the crime of abandonment demands intent”.
…………………
And “as long as intent is not proved, crime cannot be considered”, the lawyer stressed, reminding that “it is only a crime when the person who abandons knows that under those circumstances the minor will be at risk”.
It was intentional in the sense that they left them nights after nights unattended
…………………
La crème de la crème
And he exemplifies: “A father leaves a son at home and he knows that anything may happen. But if that never occurs to him, then it’s not a crime anymore”, he explains. “If someone grabs a child and takes her into the mountains and leaves her there overnight, then it is a crime, because the person knows that the child is at risk”.
La crème de la crème …this guy IS nuts
omg

Happy friday guys-so what if Maddie’s parents have had a holiday and it was torture, but had to be done for normality……or whatever Lots of parents are going on holiday for the first time without babies or children who have died-through no fault of their own. Are we supposed to feel sorry for them? Well, I for one won’t be sending them a message of sympathy-there got that off me chest.
July 11th, 2008 at 6:22 pm

Joking aside, it is I think possible to be cynical and STILL expect political figures to make the right call.
Mrs Thatcher: Shall I fight the Argentinians? Shall I fight Scargill? Yes - and many would say she made the right call here in terms of her own political career.
Mr Blair: Shall we go into Iraq? Yes. And many say this was a bad call for his career and “legacy.”
So will the PT A-G make the right call? Time will tell…

Gandolf, I sincerely hope you are not questioning the integrity, objectivity and professionalism of the PT Attorney-General and prosecutors…

Well I never, in the film he trusted two little hobbits to take the Ring to the Crack of Doom and save the day, is he getting cynical now and losing faith in his fellow creatures?

Every time I try and link to the videos, it comes up with a message saying “sorry, this video is no longer available”?
No matter, everyone have a lovely weekend (we’re freezing over here).
