Madeleine McCann: With Columnist Fergus Shanahan And The Maddie Squad
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
THE COLUMNISTS
FERGUS SHANAHAN: “SWOOP FOR MADDIE”
“I tried to imagine the misery Kate and Gerry McCann must be going through with these Maddie sightings. It’s too awful.”
See the Sun’s front-page Maddie update in which she is served an ice-cream in Brussels. Shanahan is the paper’s deputy editor. It’s too awful…
“They must cling to any hope. But some of the latest rash of ‘sightings’ are based on thin detail.”
The ice-cream was chocolate.
“Sadly, the Maddie tragedy is attracting its fair-share of attention seekers”
The Sun’s front page says the ice-cream was cold and sweet – just how Maddie likes them!
“It seems unlikely that Europe’s most instantly recognisable child would be walked through city streets by her abductors.”
More likely she’d stop and be bought an ice cream…
“But if convincing reports of sightings continue, Scotland Yard should set up a Maddie squad capable of moving instantly anywhere in Europe.”
On the Sun’s word…

sleeping beauty and the wolf and the seven little kids are books avoided at the twins storytime I bet!
I read the magic faraway tree to my nipper! BUT I was given some spiderman manuals from teh late 70’s and the stories in there are about teh son on the green goblin taking acid!!!! I couldn’t believe what I was reading - not that he would know but even still things sure were different back in the 70’s!!!!!

‘The McCanns were shown the grainy security camera footage but could not rule out the possibility that the child might be their daughter.’
Yet we can tell that the NOTW was wrong in its labelling of Fiona Payne as Rachel Oldfield.

I like witches and the dark side. Gandolf likes them too. He’s right into Lucifer.

It has just dawned on me how bad it is to do what they are doing if they know different
