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.

WTF, this may sound stupid, but try one day to feed him a little less and make sure you have some nice smell or even some real meat, preferably liver or liver sausage on your hands and see if he will lick them. Otherwise, might be an idea to engage a professional trainer for a couple of hours. Am sure, after having seen the puppy and its behaviour, he/she might have some good ideas for you.

Forgive me for getting personal, but are you talking a little bit too lightly about a separation?

Clouseau …….. You can be in the Commentariat Cabinet as our Minister of Detection please. Your first job will be to expose detective agencies like M3.
Please will you find out which detective agency is working for the Clan now - because some people who donated would like to know where the fuck their hard-earned money is being paid to! Thanks X

WTF! The Universe will have a reason for the redundancy. Use the time to see what you should really be both doing. Enjoy the down-time. The Universe is abundant and you will both come up trumps.
So sad about the puppy. The Commentariat will have to start getting their finger out for animals and the filthy abusive bastards all over the World that harm any of God’s creatures

SAUL! I have no wish for autocracy - I promise! lol But please can we use biological warfare that only affects the human race because I am big on Environmental concerns - and I want those oil pipe-lines intact!

I wouldn’t dream of criticising the Mods in any size, shape, or form.
AGW is much too scary for me to even contemplate it…

Garth - how about you, Gandolf and I play the good guy- bad guy strategy the police use with people? You two keeping rattling their chains, I so love Gandolf’s ‘expressive’ descriptions, and I’ll try being nice and use logic with them?
CHERYL….
and your chums..is it just
a game to you?? (Maria the main game player of course)

Well surely you dont come here to be serious…………. with this daft lot? You ‘avin’ a larf mate?

GAILEN! Just to give you a whiff of a certain gas without oxygen in it!
Nobody has the same viewpoint on here. We are mostly human beings - not cameras!
Therefore we explore each others minds - and do not try to control the minds of those who don’t judge the same set of facts and trivia to amount to the same thing.
We try not to let the odd few keep on stating the same tripe day in and day out - like they are on a brain-washing exercise.
Have a view-point on Anorak - but don’t say it in such a way as to undermine the people who fairly think that the PJ had a case.
Otherwise it makes it look as though the people who are paid to serve and protect ie. the POLICE - are a set of completely corrupts and malcontents through and through.
This is seriously undermining Human Rights and the judiciary of several countries - in its entirety!
Ans some people are feeble-minded and unwell - like me! And we might start believing that the Trolly Dollies have a case in point.
But they haven’t!
Don’t come back and say you haven’t got a clue what I’m talking about again because you are off my scale of ‘having a bit of nouse’ as it is.
Nobody else has a problem - apart from the Trolly Dollies.
