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 poorpriest, no i don’t think it’s a good thing if he was set up, not at the police should not be above the law or think they are.

re OJ - though rather off this topic - I read a fantastically interesting and detailed book about the murder of his wife and another. It was a bit like the Amaral book, but can’t recall if the author was an investigative journalist or a cop. Anyway, according to the book he was clearly guilty, so quite possibly he was set up this time (and a good thing too IMO) or he just got too cocky. Imagine getting away with that crime and still being able to keep your kids with noone able to stop it.
Oh dear, better stay off Anorak tomorrow, just had another Crunchie - don’t feel at all sick though, maybe slight tooth ache. grand jetes could be interesting tomorrow, I’ll never get off the ground.

clouseau, i really don’t know, i don’t really know how these electoral roll things work. but you don’t have a duty to register your place of abode here in the uk do do you, not like you do in germany and i’m not sure you’re even obliged to fill out an electoral roll thing are you ?

Now that the PJ could not solve the problem, I expected the Justice in the UK to start an investigation, interrogating Tapas 9.
Madaleine was Britsh, a little girl, which British intends to do something for her?
October 5th, 2008 at 11:04 pm
what was D Websters maiden name? what was Fiona Paynes maiden name?who is David John?
October 5th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
clouseau, when people move and dont sign up for the electoral role somewhere else, do they stay on the last place of residence on the elctoral role ? i just can’t think who david a john is. but then you said gerry wasn’t registered there ? but then i remember someone else mentioneing they were registered there but it was an elderly couple ?
October 5th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
why is Kate not on the electoral role? was she named David perhaps?
October 5th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
Mr Mcann has some questions to answer to the DVLA thats a £1000 fine I think
October 5th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
who is Yvonne Martin? paper clip pusher?think not
October 5th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
lets not forget..who is David A john?
October 5th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
az,i read the rumours and find it really difficult to beleive this peodo story that is being hinted at. i think it really is ludicrous. that’s not to say i don’t think it happens or that doctors are exempt from such, just that i don’t think that is what happened to madeleiene, and of course i could be wrong.
re o.j simpson i read an article on cnn which i can’t find now which said, for instance he went into a room with others to get some souveniers back and because he said or ordered that no-one leave the room that made him guilty of kidnapping. i can’t find the link now but in that article it did read like a bit of a set-up.
October 5th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Jass,
The world is FULL of people like doctor Pimpampoom…. sad,init?
Most of the time they would be supporters of chid neglectors the very same who have sold her to the media,who have allowed what happened
I only have scorn and contempt for the mccCons and the ones of their sort
October 5th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
Jo,
No, let her try to explain why the McCanns had strange and worrying pictures taken of their poor little kid.
She will, of course, claim that we are reading something wrong into them.
October 5th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
sorry it’s a bit long.
seems to be a link to download ‘gone baby gone’.
disgraceful.

What is the ultimate purpose of your line of reasoning? Do you think the answer as to what happened can be deduced from sartorial analysis?
Here you go, psycho-sartorially analyze this:

————————————————————————————————————-
Aha, you have indeed found one photo I haven’t actually seen before. just love the totally matching his and her outfits. has kate got constipation?
I’m femail and not obsessed with anyone’s neckline, but when the woman kept changing her earings and showing as much as she could of her bra and flesh, grinning in many photos, I found it at odds with her supposed position of having her child in the hands of paedophiles.
Surely we can all agree that poor little JonBenet and her mini beauty pageant comrads do in fact look like mini tarts, completey inappropriate to their age. the frizzy hair pics of Maddie look the same, so maybe there is some conclusion to be drawn from that. I’m not a prude, OK for showgirls in the theatre age say 15 and above, goodness, I’ve been in loads of shows dressed like that, and been paid for cabarets, cruises etc, but not aged 3 or even 6. (Not now either as I’m way too old!) You know - a time and a place.

Why dont you just shut the fuck up?
For ever….
October 5th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
Wonder how long before Pamela is on here frothing at the mouth?
The absurd woman should actually do some research, instead of believing everything her masters are telling her.
October 5th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
why was Gerry on the electoral role with Davis A John? who is he? has he changed his name? what a tangled webster we weave
October 5th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Pamela,
Goodness. You are all riled up.
Yet for all the wrong reasons.
Many of us are genuinely concerned about photographs of Madeleine in which she seems to have been made-up with cosmetics and made to pose inappropriately.
Every time these photographs are mentioned, certain people blow fuses.
The fact remains that the McCanns appear to have “tarted” their 3-yr-old daughter up, and had her photographed by a professional in odd ways.
