Madeleine McCann: Paedos From Lamp-Posts, Hating Fiona Philips And JonBenet Ramsey
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
QUEENSFERRY GAZETTE (Scotland): “We’ve been ad”
A CONCERNED mum has spoken out about the potential hazards posed by new outdoor advertising boards. Janette Sheppard is also worried that other parents may think the boards are simply lamp-posts.
Lamp-posts, for paedos to hide behind… Like those (G)litter bins…
She said: “These have just sprung up – one is outside my son’s primary school. At first glance it would be easy to mistake them for lamp-posts, but they are actually advertising boards.”
The wonders of modern technology. Who would have thunk it. Go on…
“There is a small electronic strip at the top which could be used by the council to post information if a child goes missing. I believe the council also gets some revenue from the boards.”
Making money from missing kiddies. For shame!
“My concern, as a parent, is if the council thinks it’s appro-priate to put one of these boards outside a primary school. Our kids are already inundated with advertising – do they really need more? And what kind of advertising is it going to be?”
Sweets. Peados. Guns. Snuff movies. You know, the usual kids’ stuff…
A West Lothian Council spokesperson said: “The new signs are part of the Amberwatch system, which is designed to allow urgent safety messages to be relayed instantly to the local community. The similar Amber Alerts system in America has been credited with helping locate over 100 missing children, and the parents of Madeline McCann have campaigned to have such a system installed across Europe.”
So there it is. It’s there to advertise when a child goes missing; and when a child doesn’t go missing…
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “Review: My Sister, My Love by Joyce Carol Oates”
Review: My Sister, My Love by Joyce Carol Oates - The unsolved murder of a child star is too close to real events for David Robson
A child star… Get ready to be entertained…
Novels based on real-life crime stories always leave a slightly queasy taste. Novels based on unsolved real-life crime stories leave an even queasier one.
Hands over mouths; heres it comes…
There are probably writers already working on fictionalisations of the abduction of Madeleine McCann, but it is hard to feel much respect for them.
They don’t do it for the respect. They do it for the money; like the newspapers…
The same applies, mutatis mutandis, to this ethically questionable piece by Joyce Carol Oates, inspired by a crime that was the talk of America in 1996, when a six-year-old child beauty pageant contestant called JonBenet Ramsey was found brutally murdered in the basement of her parents’ house in Colorado.
DAILY STAR: “THAT’S VERY IRRITATING - FIONA IS BRITS’ MOST HATED CELEB”
IT’S Fiona Philips, GMTV’s soon-to-be ex-self-righteous-Labour-cheering-ultra-violet-toothed-baby-boasting-braying-nodding-head.
FIONA Phillips is more annoying than the washout summer, chavs and Heather Mills.
Mills isn’t annoying; Mills is entertaining.
Her on-screen gaffes include telling the parents of missing Madeleine McCann: “There are light moments. You’ve acquired this odd celebrity status.”
A gaffe? No way. This is the highest praise possible in the GMTV lexicon. GMTV renders everything it touches a celebrity: car crash victim, prime minister, doctor etc. are all touched by the GMTV celebrity wand. A celebrity… nothing bigger, nor better…

The Majorca2 s statement is disturbing, especially when you compare it to the 7 oc clock visit conflicting statements from Kate, Fiona, and David.

No Evidence, move along.

11.47 pm, Jo,
at the moment it is no use to re open the investigation unless some
other things present in the investigation would be used.
If I understood it well, the PJ based the conclusion on the negative results and according to I don’t remember who, there were enough positive things to start a process.
I don’t know if it was possible. I did not see the DVD.
to start a process.

whoops, my keyboard whoosh clunked the x in sexy clothes, so it reads sey clothes. sorry for any confusion!

So, no links then?
Huge surprise that!

That Poor Priest - I haven’t missed any points but I wish you would show me where Kate went to shops and had her hair done the day after Madeleine went missing.
————————————————————————————————————
Well you have missed the point because you are implying it is OK to dress up tiny children in adult sey clothes, for mini pageants, because they grow up OK in the end.
And who said anything about Kate doing shopping “the day after M went missing”? noone said that. She was in Portugal for months, so she didn’t always have to wear her holiday clothes.
I couldn’t help noticing that every shot of kate, that I saw, showed her in low cut vest tops often with bra showing, furthermore, any cardigans worn, always had strategically undone buttons at the top. It must have been a “look in the mirror” thing to decide how far she could unbutton her tops. Nothing wrong with that at all, I absolutely agree, I’m sure we have all done it thousands of times when getting ready to go out, or trying on various outfits in shops. But IMO very odd for someone who believes her child is with paedophiles.
lots of sites have M photos in make up and strange poses.
October 6th, 2008 at 11:47 pm
Why dont they want the investigation to be re opened? scared of something and wot?
October 6th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
The “solution” and resolution of the case will come in its OWN time
The only people to blame here are the mccanns for being who they are: child neglectors
who have put their children in DANGER and are now assuming the consequences of their actions.They are NOT at the end of the road yet by any means

Some of you keep amazing me
Ye all said you trusted mr Rebelo and his team.
As soon as he didn’t come with the solution you wanted/demanded/expected you dismissed what the AG ’s said and you turn to the self-appointed saint Amaral.
Who failed to proove anything, who failed to find Madeleine, who failed to gather conclusive evidence, and even worse, who’s blaming everybody else for his failures.
Politics, British cops, T9, Irish witness…
Even wearing vacation clothes and earrings seems to be suspicious

Anorak!! do something about the page display
To read the last comments I have to scroll down all the way down :evil.
Thank you

Scorn and comtempt to her “parents”,thats all I have

“The photos of Jon Benet Ramsey and her ilk make me cringe”
I personally cant care less how sthe mccannwoman dresses or not.In my little eyes what she wears is fairly common,honestly.Nothing very fancy in fact,she has poor tastes and could be a bit more “flamboyant” may be…..?
I wont come down on you with a ton of bricks but I promise you I wont left any stones unturned either and I …..dont
October 6th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
Yes, I read that, PeterMac. Circumstantial evidence is satisfactory, when there’s enough of it. And we’re looking at a lot of it … pointing at a missing corpse. IMO & allegedly, of course.
October 6th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
Oh, and by the way, did you see on Sky News today that a bloke has got life imprisonment, minimum 30 years, for murdering 2 women whose bodies were not found.
Let me say that again
THEIR BODIES HAVE NOT BEEN FOUND and he has been sentenced to LIFE, minimum 30 years.
But they have NOT found the bodies.
No bodies, but GUILTY.
They will continue to look for the bodies.
But he is in Prison.
For the rest of his life.
You do not need a body to find someone guilty of Murder. It merely makes the process a little more difficult for the prosecution.
October 6th, 2008 at 10:24 pm
That Poor Priest - I haven’t missed any points but I wish you would show me where Kate went to shops and had her hair done the day after Madeleine went missing.
I keep hearing people saying this but where is it in black and white and from a reliable source? I would surmise she had her highlights done before she went on holiday, and I assume she quickly bought a suitable outfit to meet the Pope.
I haven’t seen any pictures of Madeleine taken with make up and in odd positions. Like to give me a link?
Endless stories of my having home perms, Jass! One little story?
You do have an imagination don’t you? Try and reign it in a little.
October 6th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
I would also not be able to wear bungling earrings a day after my daughter went missing …
Good evening posters, lurkers …

“[...] and it is necessary for those who are able to to bring new details to the Portuguese authorities.”
And that’s exactly how it should be IMO
October 6th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
Several officers of the National Spanish Police, respectfully referred to as, the “Comisario,” stated that they did not understand why the authorities of the country where Madeleine was born have never opened an investigation to find out what happened and continue to support the abduction theory.
According to Amaral, the result of work carried out by his team and several British police officers is recorded in the reports of the investigation and as long as they are not destroyed, there is always the possibility to bring the investigation to a successful conclusion: “it would only take one of the nine friends to decide to talk…”
The former coordinator of the investigation into Madeleine McCann’s disappearance states that it is still possible to find out the truth, stressing that the investigation from a legal point of view is neither finished nor closed: it is only waiting for better evidence and it is necessary for those who are able to to bring new details to the Portuguese authorities.

Watcher - you miss the point…. that something bad DID happen to Maddie, and, as we all know, something dreadfull (violent death in her own home) did happen to JonBenet.
It’s great that some kids treated like that, seem to grow up OK. But something happened to Maddie therefore many people want to look at her background for clues.
Don’t kid yourself that poor Kate only had access to her holiday clothes! she went to loads of shops, got her hair done etc, so that is a red herring. They were living off the funds that people donated for their general living expenses if you remember. Did she only have access to her holiday clothes when she went back home?
October 6th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
This is tough - Jon Benet Ramsay and Madeleine are different cases - Jon Benet was primed for beauty pageants and must have come in contact with many - very strange - people !
Madeleine - on the other hand was not in tht siuation - unless ‘privately’.
I do agree how-ever - her hair style is not indicative of anything.
October 6th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Watcher is so anxious to make the sinister appear normal, she seems to think we want to hear endless stories about her childhood and how her home perms turned out.
October 6th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Watcher:
Are you honestly saying you haven’t seen the pictures of Madeleine taken by a professional photographer, in which she is made up with cosmetics and shown in odd positions?
Or is that sort of stuff normal in your home?
October 6th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
The photos of Jon Benet Ramsey and her ilk make me cringe. However I have seen TV programmes of these children grown up and they seem as normal as anything, falling about laughing at videos of their antics as children and usually in some very normal job. I don’t know why parents think it’s OK to primp and paint their babies and make them parade around on a stage. But at the end of he day I think (contrary to my initial thoughts) it’s harmless.
As for ordinary children, I myself, as a small child was the object of constant primping sessions from my 19 year old cousin, who curled my hair and put make up on me and then brought me in to see the grown ups who all oohhed and aaahed!
Have to say I had a normal childhood, well looked after etc etc. My mother gave me the occasional home perm that invariably went frizzy.
It is quite fun to prettify little girls, if they like it (and most of them do) I refuse to see anything “evil” in the fact that at some point someone plaited Madeleine’s wet hair and when it dried it came out crimped looking.
As far as Kate’s clothes go, she was wearing her summer holiday clothes and never seemed to be flaunting herself in any way.
Just my opinion of course, and I expect Jo will come down on me like a ton of bricks. Heigh Ho.

I believe it was because it was four months after the EVENT, but well in advance of any FACTS.
