Madeleine McCann: The McCanns’ Ireland State Visit And Coronation Street Plots
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann, Gerry McCann
BELFAST TELEGRAPH: “Madeleine McCann parents set for Irish visit”
Has the missing child been spotted in Ireland?
The couple and their young twins are expected to make the journey this autumn and plan to make a television appearance while they’re in the country. The couple’s visit will be their first time to arrive in Ireland since their four-year-old daughter Madeleine went missing last year.
This reads like a visit from a head of state:
Kate and Gerry are expected to take up on an open invitation to appear on RTE’s The Late Late Show to address the nation and thank the Irish for their “incredible support”.
DAILY MAIL: “Backlash over Coronation Street’s girl-on-girl gang violence storyline”
Corrie goes mental. There’s gonna be a street fight.
Last year, programme-makers were accused of copying the case of Madeleine McCann too closely after the disappearance of a child in a housefire.
Yes. Anorak remembers. That was the tale of a boy (an actor) who was taken by his mum’s friend (both actors), who set fire to their semi-detached house (not real) in a fictional part of Manchester, was chillingly similar to the story of a girl (real) who disappeared while on holiday in Protugal (real)…

i am irish-and i have believed from the very beginning, that Maddie was not abducted. Like Britain, this case has gripped Ireland too…and I believe big Ger is of Irish stock. Alas,one can no more choose one’s countrymen or women let alone one’s family..as i’m sure Maddie could attest to were she alive. [until a body is found there remains the possibility, however small, that Maddie is still alive - dr]
I do not like having to write comments like those above and I know many bloggers on Anorak feel the same. However, as in the Jonbenet Ramsey case it is clear [No - it is your opinion, dr] that the powers that be, political, media or religious, refuse to believe that the aspiring middle classes or above can kill their own offspring. both cases are different, but one or two or three… big similarities exist: Both mothers in the case were the first to let off the alarm..in Ramsey’s case she phoned the police and said “they’ve taken her there’s a ransom note”..in the Mc’Canns case..Kate just announced “they’ve taken her”..no note..NO NEED;
Then the PR machine rolled in,the accusations and counter accusations; the friends in high places..Can’t get much higher than the POPE!; the lawsuits…but most importantly the police’s lack of experience and contamination of the crime-scene..
No disrespect here for the police in either case..but there are MASSIVE lessons to be learned…The main one being that YES seemingly nice, well spoken, polite, well dressed professionals or rich people, CAN and DO murder their children..though odds on they get away with it…for those very reasons!
Finally, as to what happened to Maddie and why, i don’t know, my guess is the kids were sedated..and something went wrong and the cover up of cover-ups was called for.
As to the body, my theory is a Portuguese or Spanish hospital incinerator..When you work in the trade..you usually know where these are located in the building no matter what country or what the lay-out of the building is…
Iwould like to hope my theory is shit and that Maddie was not killed by her parents or anyone else ..[deleted -dr]..but but but..I cannot help believing what i do…and I know a lot of Irish people feel the same.

I hope that when the lawyers find something tasty, they don’t go fucking about at Court to make it in M’s best interests to keep things secret.
The dollies are getting well tetchy this morning. All their faces are even more pinched and scallywag-looking.
They don’t look like they are sleeping at all!
August 1st, 2008 at 6:19 am
I’m getting the creeps with this shower of sh*te you know!
I really think there’s a Milk Tray Man behind this! Some kind of Bond. James Bond.
Our Pilchard in Portugal!
How many of the Embassy visited?
Now that cash for questions really has been abolished - in every way - forever - Would Mr Brown like to tell us that we have nothing to worry about - especially with the delays of all the evidences at the science labs - and all the fucking about that went on for the Clan by HM Government please.
Just to put my mind at rest - like I asked months ago.
Or would this be another bit of bad-timing.
Great days to bury bad news coming up for the Clan etc. coz Miliband is gonna be stealing enough limelight to light up Westminster this week!
Bet the BBBC milk this to fucking death and not the PJ files! lol
August 1st, 2008 at 6:04 am
MEERCAT! LOL! You can use it for everything - it’s a verb or a noun or it can be used to enhance an adjective and ………..
That’s fucked it! I’m fucked! They are fucking useless! You Fucker!
What a fuck-up! This has fucked up! I could go on but don’t want to get banned and offend all the participating Saints! Ha!

New Moon! X
August 1st, 2008 at 5:52 am
Justine? Scared I think! And as we could see - she had shocking dress-sense!
I wouldn’t have wanted to wake up to that insipid twat giving me an up-date and putting me off my breakfast every morning.
I could not stomach anything that scary in a morning after that Frilly Philly One.
Fucking hell! I haven’t been that scared since Hammer House of Horrors when I was a kid! lol
Joking apart - I think it was like hot potatoes - where they are that fucking hot - you throw them in the air and wait for some other daft fucker to catch it! Like a bridal bouquet!
And look what a pink and perky little snide bollocks got the job then!
I am getting more and more disturbed every day with this palavre.
New Moon today so this should bring revelatory and quite exacting information to our ears.
Spooky!
August 1st, 2008 at 4:32 am
Where is Clarence Mitchell?
Why did Justine leave the McCanns immediately after they have been made arguidos?
Was she shocked?
August 1st, 2008 at 3:17 am
Have also left a message for the cuddly sniffer-dog dollies that I’ve made as well! Ha!
Wouldn’t it be absolutely marvellous if somebody at Hasbro passed this to their bosses and the bosses said that they want 100000 sniffer-dogs ready for Christmas!
August 1st, 2008 at 3:12 am
JO! Just saw the Hasbro thread regarding Scrabulous! So left them a message!

I have a set of dollies that I wish to talk to you about to fund a marvellous newspaper that I write on several times a week - this one.
Get in touch through Anorak and we will talk about a cartoon series that will have spin-off games as well.
It’s like Cluedo-meets-Monopoly-meets-Ludo-meets-Doctor-Who-meets-Trivial-Pursuits! Major money-spinner so come and get me!
Between us we can make stuffed sardines the new must-have toy for Christmas!
Call Coco now! Over and out!

Veritable…,
against Russians?
But I love Malinka!
August 1st, 2008 at 2:49 am
Coco,
you don’t have to apologise.
It is ok with me.
August 1st, 2008 at 2:30 am
Jo - You haven’t kept up. The car was sorted out weeks ago. I even had sanitary towels and full nappies and left-over grub! lol
August 1st, 2008 at 2:28 am
Night Jo! The Clan Dollies could do the reconstruction or as I prefer to call it - the re-enactment! This would take the stress off the Clan altogether.
They could just give us two or three or four of the time-lines and we could do the rest with Amaral.
We could take it on Oprah and do a World tour with Amaral.
We could do a talk-show with big puppets of the individual Clan. Bags I be JT and GM.
I can’t do KM because I’m a Method actor - and I would be scared of not getting out of character! LOL
August 1st, 2008 at 2:22 am
VQ ……… Absolutely bang on. It was obvious when we first heard it.
Amaral must have suspected the same.
You would have absolutely no reason to make yourself look like a completely heartless bastard in that way - unless you wanted something much more sinister and naughty covering over - or to prepare for the next set of questions.
August 1st, 2008 at 2:20 am
coco
Depends how many fags one has smoked the whole day,really
You are very productive with the Dolls.I thought about a touching detail: little stones in the Dollies hands.The trick is to keep them unturned,of course
I can’t understand why nobody’s trying to contact us through Anorak for the patents and scripts for the TV series.
My best bet is Oprah.Once we get on board,New York will get ready for us but this will come after the reconstuction. What an excellent idea of the reconstrution with the Dolls!!! May be this will be of interest to the mcc$$$$$$???? We could get a deal rolling here.after all it is essential to get new leads and may be put a big lid over it for ever after?
Now,a must: a miniature car dripping with fluids,smell of old nappies included.Just thought about it now
I am off now.I am reduced to a typing pulp,with a very dry mouth,sandy eyes and loads to do tomorrow and at the weekend
Good night,Coco
Take care
ps= may be a Hacker Doll to extend the range? Very much in fashion…. just a passing idea
August 1st, 2008 at 2:17 am
Going to bed now. Some of my dolls have run off and others are scrapping in the toy-box.
I wonder how the real live dolls are tonight? Bet they are dying to get the brief off their brief. I bet they can’t sleep for wondering what’s in those boxes!
August 1st, 2008 at 2:16 am
My longstnading theory is that Kate and her advisors volunteered the story about M admonishing her parents about not responding to her (and her younger brother, Sean) about crying, yet neglecting them for a SECOND night, is that they wanted to prove that M was still alive. (Disgusting, I know) I also think now that Sean was included in this confrontation with parents to show that he was AWAKE and NOT drugged. Why not Amelie? Because the (perhap faked) last photo shows that she too was there the last day. BINGO. All three of their precious children alive on May 3 (one just barely, if at all).
August 1st, 2008 at 2:13 am
Veritablequandary ……. Amaral wants everything out in the open. He is the one that has been wronged by his own force!
The other fuckers don’t want anything out in the open or they would be in the piblic eye themselves - taking advantage of evry sinle opportunity to give us their side of the story - and HELPING TO FIND MADELEINE!
Where the fuck are they now that the gags are off. All thetimes they told us they couldn’t speak because of the gags! My arse!
August 1st, 2008 at 2:08 am
Jo! Before you go to bed! How long does it take to stroll down to the beach and run like fuck back up that hill again. I keep forgetting.
Done another new doll-set tonight.
I can’t understand why nobody’s trying to contact us through Anorak for the patents and scripts for the TV series.
There’s a cracking scene I wrote about all the hundreds of people that borrowed and drove THE car.
I have enough dolls now to do a total re-enactment. It’s comparable to what I imagined the Spanish Armada was like for Queen Elizabeth Ist! lol

I am terrified in fact….I”ve changed my mind
methink the walk will be as fast as it is short : from my desk to my bedroom.Too tired to do anything anymore.
Good night all
Be good

Mara,
Please apologize for your offensive statement against Russians.
August 1st, 2008 at 2:00 am
Jo, be afraid, very afraid.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:59 am
Maravilha? Apologies for any offence I may have caused. There’s only me that does it on here really.
I am foul-mouthed in real life as well, because I was dragged up with really wealthy people and really common people.
So I swear doubly as bad as those who brought me up. I seldom came in contact with people who did not curse and swear or wipe their mouths on their sleeves.
Fuck is a fab word because not having been blessed with any writing skills I find it awfully difficult to express myself properly in writing and speech without it.
I am a superb artist. But Anorak doesn’t run to being able to say in water-colours and oils what I wish to convey - speedily!
When you see my posts - just scroll past quickly like I do with some people.
I apologise for being an oick. Sorry.
