Madeleine McCann: With Columnist Peter McKay
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
THE COLUMNISTS
PETER McKAY (Mail):
MOST sightings of missing Madeleine McCann seem to involve Belgium and a paedophile ‘ring’ which might have kidnapped the child ‘to order’. Belgian police received more than 100 sightings, 30 of which required checking.
Do they?
But the latest - by British businessman Trevor Francis, 64 - was on the Venezuelan island of Margarita. Nursing home owner Francis, who keeps a yacht there, says a girl he thinks was ‘Madeleine’ came into a restaurant with three women - all of Latin origin - and had the telltale blemish in her right eye.
He did.
In one sighting, the girl involved said she was ‘Maddie’ and had been taken from her mother. Yet the McCanns say Madeleine was never known as ‘Maddie’ to them. It’s an abbreviation devised by newspapers so the name will fit headlines.

LOL! Bloody good job we can’t see each other then! lol
But between you and I - I’m not that bad.
When we form my new Commentariat Party we will go on a cruise together to write the Manifesto according to Coco and Co.
I reckon we would get more votes than GB at the moment - and if I sleep with certain people I think we would walk it! lol

JONTI! I know - and I thank you very much indeed for your post! I didn’t want to cut and paste your saying that I was brilliant because I would look like a Clanny - coz they are Narcissistic in my terribly humble opinion.

Remember when there was talk of a film being made, and Clarrie said something along the lines of what fun the casting would be?
There must have been dozens of stage struck parents with Maddie-lite daughters who made contact following that announcement.
Where are they now?
Belgium, Venezuela?
Being led past cctv cameras in some far flung city by swarthy looking men?

Another Visionary! That’s what you are Carmen!
But little blonde girls are a bad omen in block-busters —- Poltergeist for instance! lol
Wouldn’t put my kid in a horror film!

I wonder what the Hairy Bikers will cook up next?
August 11th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
JONTI! Kitten! For fear of creeping Narcissism I will not cut and post your lovely post to me lol - but I noticed a comment from a certain poster just after yours.
And this leads me to believe that we - The Commentariat have the power to continue as a fresh and progressive political party - if we make sure that we stay parasite-free and ignore those that would choose to dam our floods and waves of thoughts.
George Orwell is going on my list of Visionaries lol.

Hi you are my Goddess !!
if i was at all certain of the Clans innocence, as being un-arguidoded by the PJ i would not spend my time here, i would be doing interesting and fun things. like having a good sleep or reading a good book.
i ask myself why do these fuckwits spend all their time here. I am here because i believe in Sardines and Fairies and trolls. and i am waiting for the sardines etc to slip up and be tazered by the PJ.
Anyway he from the stinking dard place , and possible suffers from crotch rot, is pea greenwith jealousy- he knows we all love you, every mail on here is .xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
