Madeleine McCann: Kate McCann’s Message And McCann Posters For Mari Cortes Luz
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS: “I feel your pain – Kate’s note to kidnap parents”
Kate McCann has delivered a “heartfelt message of support” to the parents of missing girl Mari Luz Cortes
Writes Kate, a “GP”: “I feel your pain, as parents we know what you’re going through…I am praying that Mari Luz is found quickly, safe and well”
Not that it’s all about the McCanns, a Maddy 2. Although: Says Juan Jose Cortes, Mari’s father: “Only now I understand what Madeleine McCann’s parents are suffering”
Neither Mr Cortes nor his wife are named suspects in their child’s disappearance
The McCanns have offered to equip posters of Madeleine with a shot of Mari – 12,000 of them are to be put up in Spain, the Balearic and Canary Islands
Mr Cortes says thank you but “We don’t feels strong enough to make a decision”
Says Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns’ spokesman: “The posters could lead to vital clues in both cases. Mari Luz’s face would sit along Madeleine’s… We just want to help”
Help who?
DAILY STAR: “’I KNOW THE PAIN YOU ARE FEELING’”
“Madeleine McCann’s mum has told the parents of a child feared snatched by the same abductor: ‘I feel your pain.’ GP Kate, 39, sent her words of comfort to the parents of five-year-old Mari Luz Cortes when the McCanns’ private detectives met them to investigate links between the two cases”
How did the papers come to know of this message, and how can knowing help either child?
“POLICE reject claims of link” – Portuguese police do not “believe” there is a link between Mari and Madeleine
Kate McCann is a “GP”
DAILY MAIL: “McCanns comfort lost girl’s parents”
Kate McCann has sent an “emotional message” to the parents of Mari Luz Cortes
THE McCanns will have to wait until September this year to discover why they were made suspects
THE MIRROR: “KATE’S PRAYER OF HOPE”
“I FEEL YOUR PAIN – Kate’s message to parents of missing Spanish girl Mari”
Reports are that police are seeking a “local sex pest” in Huelva
“70,000..the number of kids under 16 that go missing in the UK every year. Only 10 per cent vanish for more than five days”
Any more room on those posters? How are they remembered?
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “McCanns tell lost girl’s parents: We feel for you”
Says a friend of Mari’s parents, Irene a
nd Juan Jose Cortes: “They have been touched by the fact someone who is going through her own turmoil can find the strength to think of their moment of need”

I am happy to clarify the situation for the more challenged here,++++++++++Rules passed by parliament to prevent miscarriages of justice are not working, the watchdog on the crown prosecution service reports today.
The 1996 criminal procedure and investigations act, introduced after a series of wrongful convictions which dented public confidence in the justice system, is not living up to parliament’s intention, says the CPS inspectorate.
Under the act, the prosecution must disclose to the defence any material which could undermine the prosecution case or be helpful to the defence. In a significant proportion of cases, CPS compliance is “defective in one or more respects”.

Cheryl says? Well Cheryl says a lot sometimes.
I repeat you appear to be a woman of straw, reminiscent of the little boy who grabs his ball and stops the game because he is losing. The symptoms? The clue would be in the desperate last clutch of outing me as a supporter of GG. You would now appear to be suffering dementia since no-one in full procession of their faculties would accuse me of being in the GG camp.
You have contributed much here. Were you a teenager I would advise you very strongly you were mixing in the wrong company. Since I assume you are now over 22, I am beginning to form the opinion you are part of the blinkered minority…the type who shouts louder and harder as the waves of reason and sanity wash in to, first your ankles and then, before you know it, you are waste deep.
(and before you dash off a furious critque, I do mean waste deep…as in the crap… Satire you see?)
You have done nothing which would make me reach for any authoritative solution to your moral dilemma.
In the last 48 hours you have become the consummate proof of the Anorak mantra:
They come; they go; they come back again. Sometimes even when you do not want them.
Please do us all a favour. Come, or, go. Your contributions here have been both perfect in pitch and immensely valuable and sometimes excruciatingly off-key.
At present you are becoming what Chairman Mao once described Hong Kong. A boil on the backside, in this case of Anorak in Mao’s case China. Please do not force me to lance it.
One positive piece of advice stop this incessant whining, grow up and get on with it.
You are acutely aware no-one in administration here is either pro or anti anything at all. We are about debate.
If you can’t face that. Leave. The Daughters of The America Revolution await. They’ll be a nice circle of friends for you; similar people not at all like those complex, brilliant, thinking, non-Americans.

Cheryl:
No speeches and I regret no sadness either.
You have proved to be a woman of straw. Unable to keep your word or keep away.
George always said you would prove him right one day.
You have old friends here who will miss you. I, again, regret I will not.
You have become too embroiled in a situation which I warned from the very beginning of it was not what it seemed. Clearly you have insights which I, as a mere mortal, do not.
In the words of one of your compatriots, George Catlin, For God’s Sake, Go! and take your distant viewpoint with you.
Suicide such as this is always better done quietly and I regret few here will answer your clear clarion for help.
Gorgeous George will be delighted that at last you have done what he always wanted and strived for. You have revealed exactly what you are.
Though I suspect he already knew.
________
You forget, AGW, George hated America and all Americans - obsessed with his hatred of us. Even changed History according to St. GG - he claimed we sat over here during WWII and let you all fight alone. He claimed I was a bigot and I set him up for the fall - when I told him I my two boys were bi-racial. He was an ah through and through, AGW, that simple. Yet when he told all of us he had cancer I immediately stopped arguing with him and defending myself and my country out of concern for him and his health. Only thing we ever agreed upon was his perceptions of this administration and the beautiful voices of the Welsh men choirs. Other than that he was a disgrace to the Welsh and would have fit in perfectly on these threads.
My issues are not whether guilty or innocent, my issues have been with what has been permitted to be printed on here for the world to read. Embalming; icc (and that went on for over a week in discussions on the thread with others before you all put a stop to it by putting H off the site); ‘abuse’ of child - that was overlooked; the list is endless I kept track of in amazement. Smearing and destroying all under the name of Satire. They are guilty of neglect in everyone’s eyes and rightfully so; however, allegedly guilty of anything else has yet to be proven or else not yet announced by the Authorities; yet it was deemed proper and acceptable to smear and destroy other’s lives and reputations all in the name of Satire! You yourself know what is being put on here or you and the moderators wouldn’t be busy diligently deleting some of the posts which overstep the bounds…
It is not my insight at all - it is my belief in a person’s right to a fair hearing; my belief it is no one’s right to destroy another’s reputation; none of us know what the Investigators may know or not know; all one reads are the supposed leaks and rumours which mainly amount to garbage and sells papers.
You seem to know so much about George and his thoughts of me - were you one of his buddies that took delight in teaming up on me and the US or were/are you him?

Said I’d never post again on this site; but haven’t resisted skimming it daily to find out the latest ‘twist’ over there.
Let’s see, no one can prove thus far they alledgedly ‘did away with their daughter’ but now now that crock of shit statement “the McCann’s have so throughly trashed the social status of being a Doctor.” Guess you have to get them on something. Rather scrapping the bottom of the barrel, one might say.
Wait a minute - Anorak took offense that Maria, I and others have accused this site of being anti-mccaan by letting the anti’s chase us out!
Carmen - are you not a moderator for Anorak?
********************
Indeed I am Cheryl.
Was it not you who flounced off in a hissy fit?
______________
No, Carmen, it was not a hissy fit at all. It was in disgust I walked away from a site I once all most hero worshpped Paul for what he had done with it over the last 3 and half years I’ve been around it.
Frankly, Carmen, in the real world a moderator is to be impartial and guide any conversations and discussions away from arguments, abuse, and nastiness when such conferences/meetings they moderate get out of hand. You are the worst offender of that golden rule of being a professional when moderating and staying unbiased.
Now, if I had realized the powers that be were going to put in an anti-mccann as moderator to do their dirty work I’d have volunteered my spare time to be their non-prejudgmental moderator.
Now, AGW, before you come racing down from your mountain top to castgate me and ban me from the site and have June put a hex on me- I wish to remind you in recalling your words ‘you have stones of granite.’ Moses stood on that mountain top holding those stones of granite - Moses was a mere mortal.
Save your speech, AGW, about flouncing off the site; hissy fits, banning forever from sight/site or anything else that comes to your mind to make it look bad on the ones who are leaving. Best you spend your time and other moderators also looking very closely at every thread on here and cleaning it up. My days of true worry about you all getting your ‘tit caught in a wringer’ are long gone; thus I stopped my personal emails to look at this and look at that at some things I saw written which gave me great pause!

I did a photo analysis the other day on the picture of the folks with the missing Mari. I had thought that the Mari kidnapping was a family-related matter, completely unrelated to M3. I took a seminar in face-reading. It’s really just a matter of covering the left side of the face in the photo, and reading the expression on the right side of the face. In the mother’s face I saw an expression of someone who had strong suspicions and the look of retaliation. The husband looked embarrassed and as if he blamed the wife for behavior which was typical of her. Sometimes you can only see a sliver of face, but you can still form an impression.
You don’t read the left side of a face, because that is merely an impression the person is seeking to give. If you want to know what they are really think, just look at the right side of the photo.
I saw this in CDM this morning that may verify what I saw in the photo:
SNIP>
“The Spanish Police believe that its somebody known to the child and the family who are responsible for the disappearance of five year old Mari Luz Cortez. Though investigating all leads the Chief Inspector of Police said the strongest possibility is the child was taken by somebody known to her and got into a car willingly.
The childs own parents believe this was an act of vengeance, and the father, Juan Jose Cortez, says he has his own suspicions as to who took the child, though he doesn’t want to publically name the suspects. ”
As for Kate, I often see an expression on her face that shows she takes the matter of missing Madeleine very seriously. She DOES feel responsible. And strangely, at times, it’s as if she’s about to burst out laughing. Other times, she looks convinced that the net is closing.
As for Gerry, when he got of the plane in the UK, he looked so ashamed. It’s as if his eyes were saying to his family, “It was her fault! Not mine!”

You forgot about the fairies at the bottom of my garden. They have a lot to answer for in my opinion.
January 19th, 2008 at 9:29 am
Other than the laws of physics, probability, the sum total of human experience, and the specifics of the case that dictate a clear solution involving only one parent and two implicated friends, I am minded to think that that Mr & Mrs Cann have been ruined by a high ranking EU pervert, some yachts, guns, gypsies, mysterious German muscle, Murat, and possibly space aliens. Adding police conspiracy to the long list of things that have nothing at all to do with the very simple and tragic events that took place on May 3 is no stretch for me. The only thing that will happen in the McCann case is that - after reinterview - if three parties refuse to to change their stories, they will be arrested, charged and bailed pending trial. I very much doubt that the mother will be included in that group.

It’s too cold out without shelter here tonight so when the dogs wake me up I must check on the little stry cat. She/he eats food I put out, but wont’ come closer. I suspect she/he is feral and doesn’t trust humans. But she/he is hungry and cold.
++++++++++
Be patient, I’m sure you are. Our resident tabby cat is an ex sleek and athletic feral coaxed in under not dissimilar circumstances. We sort of ignored him and just put food down for him until he was quite comfortable to come into the kitchen to eat. Then one day after a few weeks, we just shut the door, grabbed him, shoved him in a cat basket, took him the vets and had his knackers cut off, jabbed etc. These days he’s a fat lard arse who follows us around like a puppy dog. Still, he seems happy with his lot .

Best of luck with your stray. At least (s)he eats the food you put out. Maybe in time (s)he will learn to trust you.

Thanks. I know I can’t rescue every stray in world but I try to help the ones close by.
I agree with you about the dog-cat dynamic! Dogs never give up and cats have the psychology pretty much figured out.

Local cats use our backgarden as a through-way to wherever it is they are going. Drives our dogs (3 of them) nuts. Even working as a team, they can’t catch them. They never give up trying though. (I’m sure the bloody cats are teasing them!)

Firstly, apologies for taking so long to reply to your post. Truth is, I sat down on the settee last night with a bottle of red to watch Vera’s demise on Corrie. Woke up just after 10pm , dogs licking my face wanting out in the garden for a pee. (what happened? How did she go? Anyone out there watch the prog?)
Will be round to tackle that mountain of ironing as soon as I can think of a plausible excuse to run by Mrs D. - I’m not sure she’ll be altogether happy at the thought of me handling another woman’s ’smalls’

January 19th, 2008 at 2:44 am
Can’t say no:
Thanks for the reminder about the pyjamas! Madeleine allegedly went missing in similar pyjamas. How many of the same pairs of pyjamas did she have?
The last thing I would do is dress one of my kids up in pyjamas that kept reminding me of what my eldest kid had just been abducted in. Especially if I had just convinced myself that she was at the mercy of a gang of paedophiles!
