“It would certainly negate any sympathy the public have for the McCanns”

You reckon ?????

“surely the Portugese Police would not have spent
all this time and money if they didn”t think they could bring charges…..something
is going on that we don”t know about. ”

I agree with this too, Val…….it’s why I see it as a looming balancing act…….and am not quite sure if ANYONE really can tell the ultimate outcome……..I think that our ‘powerful ones’ miscalculated considerably and so many mistakes have been made by their team But perhaps for them, one of the biggest kudos has been testing the power of the Press to totally mystify - [in the Marxian sense] I reckon they are happy about that one atleast……..

“if Amaral knows
so much why hasn”t a charge been made before now.?”

I never see anyone consider that this may be because the tentacles of this case go way beyond the McCs……and that to merely charge them before netting the greatest possible number of involved accessories - is not their intent? Allegedly………

“are you sure about that??

The newspapers have dictated the political agenda in the UK for many years now. The Amber alert system is just one example (from many) of the throwing away of public money because of the beliefs / fears of the ’sunreader’ family… :(”

Absolutely, Nosey……..this [and the involvement of all the big guns] is what makes me profoundly pessimistic most often. I reckon that we could very well have to watch not only the sickening spin gaining credibility with majority opinion but cunning and successful legal manoeverings with the full support of the British people I so hope I could be wrong…….

“#

All suspicion started with
* doors locked
* doors unlocked
* window closed
* window open
* shutters forced
* shutters not forced”

and:* Cuddlecat on shelf
* Cuddlecat on bed

“Last “version” seems to be:
* doors unlocked, window open, shutters not forced [and no valuables missing ]”
and Cuddlecat on bed

And then there is the open window and when it was open and which way the bedroom door blew shut ……..head aching yet ???

“Jacob was the smooth man, his brother Esau being the hairy one. And a bit of a villain…”

err………Jacob was the one with someahat flawed character [in spite of being divine favourite] Quite a little spinner in fact…………..

If this is true, it is tough for them, still very young, trained to talk about her every day and to feel she is missing.
They are now 3, they were 2 when she went missing and after such a long time of disappearence it sounds sick to me.

Every day is too much, a child of this age is not capable to remember such a thing by himself, every day.
It seems to me that they have being trained to carry the same cross the parents are carrying. Too much for them. Let them be children.

Jo

Just had a cuppa,toast with peanut butter and jam and life has a different taste all of a sudden
I have put los demonios/devils …in my blue tennis bag
++++++++++++++++++++++
I wish!, but have you tried peanut butter with lime marmalade? totally delicious
**************************
My treat ?………..Peanut butter on toast topped with sliced Banana.

I think you are being very horrid. The p.p. must have been in PdL. What more contact do you need ?

Seriously though … dont we all love Clarrie ..Kate and Gerry are preparing to be thrust back under the spotlight, with next weekend marking a full year since Madeleine’s disappearance.

Mr Mitchell said: “They recognise it is an opportunity to re-energise the search for Madeleine.”
The mot juste, Monsieur Michelle, is “START” the search for Madeleine. ‘Start’, as in commence, begin, put in train, take action towards, etc.
Unless of course you know there is no point. And that by searching you might inadvertently lead people to find something you didn’t want them to. Even when searching or pretending to search Old Sigmund Freud has a way of influencing behaviour.
Better not to, on the whole. Stay on the computer Googling and playing with photos.
(or whatever it was you were actually doing, of course, of which I have no knowledge, nor can I summon up the power to imagine what you were doing that was more important than scouring the resort, the cliff, the scrub land, the beach at low tide, interviewing everyone in PdL)

Oh, and by the way, what is a ‘full’ year. Is it different from a normal year. I think we should know

Jo,

It could be too dangerous to travel to Portugal with all these threats!
****************
They dont go to portugal because there is a real threat and they know it.That one is NOT a spin,its real

Anyhow,they are in the “front front forefront pages” and everything is fin,isnt it?
Looking for Madeleine with empty words and careful to leave all stones very well in their place,unturned

It could be too dangerous to travel to Portugal with all these threats!

Police investigate death threat made to Kate and Gerry McCann
Last updated at 11:53am on 28th April 2008

Police are investigating a death threat made against the parents of Madeleine McCann.
**************
Next :FBI going over to the uk,ya will see

just as a matter of interest, you say that Mari Luz parents are bringing a case against the Mccanns have you any proof of this or is this one of your wild theories. I ask becase I seen a comment from mari’s parents saying they sympathise with the Mccanns, at least they know the fate of their daughter unlike Madeleines parents.

———————————————–

As far as I am aware, relationships with the McCanns rapidly soured after they announced that they were going to put up posters showing the little Spanish girl, without having obtained the permission of her parents.

‘ Juan Jose Cortes, the girl’s father said at the time: “We don’t think it’s appropriate to relate one thing with the other, because they are two distinct cases, two different countries and two different lines of investigation. Nobody asked us anything.”

And the EFE [Spanish news agency] said he is considering taking legal action for using his daughter’s image for the campaign.

Both of these points can easily be found on Anorak…
