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…

You claimed to be quoting from a transcript of the hearing.
I have asked you, perfectly politely, on a number of occasions, to provide a link to the transcript you claim to be quoting from.
You refuse.
I can see no honourable reason to claim to be quoting from a transcript and then refuse to provide a link to the transcript you claim to be quoting from.”

Certainly you are always polite! BTW, I didn’t claim that I cite from a link. But it doesn’t matter. You have been there. Just tell us what was really said. No link necessary.

People reading the blog might, in all innocence, have believed that when you claimed to be quoting from a transcript of the hearing, you were telling the truth.
That does matter; at least, it does matter to anyone with any regard for the truth.
Clearly you are not amongst that number.
And I am beginning to find you almost as boring on the subject as I find Gandolf…

With that I concur 103% Ferdi, Koln library has excellent research on that particular case.
July 12th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
It is done wtf, of that you can be sure if of nothing else. The tragic thing is if there is indeed no evidence against anyone RM included, the possibility exists as alluded to by the sainted Lady Justice, that is except in the minds of the bigots and the dogmatic.

I really hope so, i really dont think some oik could have covered his tracks so well if it was an abduction, someone somewhere would have known something. All goes back to the pact of silence imo

If both sides had reasonable arguments the result would not have been an unprecedented public hearing, much less one in which the Judge had to sit there listening not only to Counsel for the Chief Constable, but also to Counsel for SOCA, and Counsel for the Attorney General, all putting the boot in…
——————————————————————————————–
And yet the outcome was all that obvious…….????
Don’t think so!

You see LP the difference with you and me is you claim to know what happened, I don’t, therefore as I have no evidence as to what happened I will not cast aspersions on anyone. You keep mentioning abduction is that your secret theory, the learned Lady seems to have no doubts that Madeleine is alive, do you, does the LP, has the LP misled the Judge whose court is responsible for the ward of court Madeleine McCann, but there again you wouldn’t know, not a surprise.
Too stop confusion can we call one of the LP’s forty-five?

” True, but without a body, and the lack of the mccs cooperation, not answering questions, which imo if you are innocent, what possibly could they ask you that would be difficult to answer, they have come against a brick wall ”
Maybe the unanswered questions will become public soon.

IMO the only people to distract the investigation are the mccs! the fact is that the cadavar evidence on its own, without a body, would not be enough to present in court. Why on earth would they bother, as i have said before, it would have been so much easier to go with abduction theory if they genuinely had nothing, rather than put themselves on the line, in the spotlight of the world. I dont for one second think that the pj are stupid ”
Who said they are stupid? They have followed all leads. It is leaked that the evidence points in no direction. We will see whether it’s true.

Which is why I asked you to provide the link to the transcript you claim to have access to.
Perhaps you could now do so?
