So from xenophobia we switch to racism: now the dirty gypsies did it… What next?
Presumably tomorrow we will all be expected to vent anti-french sentiments, if the lorry driver’s fairy tale is due next.
Ludicrous!

We helped the McCann family deal with the media storm which surrounded them on their return from Portugal in September 2007. From scratch, we created a comprehensive media handling package within six hours which enabled us to handle 850 media calls in the first week. By giving journalists positive stories to report, coverage turned from hostility to the McCanns to sympathy about their ordeal. This campaign won the crisis communication category at the 2008 CIPR awards.

Jass, I don’t know about suing the papers but surely as one of the minority ethnic groups to be found in Europe – the Gypsies, they would have recourse to racial hatred laws and eventually the Court of Human rights as these papers have been inciting racial hatred to wards the Roma and Sinti people!

How do the McCanns get away with naming these innocent people as suspects and putting their faces all over English newspapers?

Have they lost all rights to privacy and respect because they are Portuguese – as the McCanns feel free to slander and insult any Portuguese?

I hope they call a lawyer at once – though of course they don’t have a £2 million fund to lash out on the likes of Carter Ruck.

It’s amazing the UK press isn’t more circumspect. Perhaps they know that anything which takes the heat off the McCanns is protected by law.
