How Madeleine McCann And Pricness Diana Made Us Fear
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “Baroness Neuberger: Children will grow up not trusting anyone in Britain’s risk-averse society”
Paedo!
Recent figures show there are no men under 25 working in England’s state-run nurseries, such is the fear of being branded a paedophile…
But no figures are given. How many men used to work in state-run nurseries? The Telegraph does not say; but it does find time to tell readers that:
“Her comments come amid increasing concerns that Government policies are poisoning relationships between people.”
It’s Gordon Brown who’s to blame. Shifty eyes…
Many people already say they are put off volunteering with children because of costly and time-consuming Criminal Records Bureau checks, and the problem is set to worsen from next year when 11.3 million adults who work with young people will have to undergo detailed background checks.
Yeah, as many as “many”. Can the paper be a little less specific?
Of course, the people checking the workers might be part of the same paedo gang as the wannabe-teachers, and well, you know…
Says the Baroness:
“We have become seriously risk-averse - fearful as a nation, scared of terrorists, child molesters and violence on the street - and as a result we make it harder and harder to help those who need our aid, and we become more and more withdrawn into ourselves.”
Good point. And Our Maddie..?
She goes on:
“Such a level of protection as we have instituted will make children unable to trust anyone. It is as if we are trying to create a risk-free society, which we know in our heads and our hearts is impossible. The result is that we restrict and we regulate, hoping to make abuse impossible, while knowing we cannot. And, that way, we deter the willing and the kind.”
We need a paedophile amnesty, not to drive it deeper underground. And Our Maddie?
The problem was highlighted after the death of Diana, Princess of Wales when, according to Lady Neuberger, public outpouring of grief was really about people feeling sorry “for themselves” and “looking inward”.
Our tanned Princess who reached out and with a manicured nail and some to-die-for gems touched our hearts.
She said mistrust and hostility to others deepened following the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and 7/7, and the Soham and Madeleine McCann cases, and the situation was made still worse by the Government’s response of increasing surveillance and bureaucracy.
A good point well made has been turned into a game of Tabloid Bingo, by the new Tabloid Telegraph.

chatelaine, apparently the flat had been cleaned so that no dna of maddie was found. i don’t understand why not if she had slept in that bed for four days in a row.

NO DNA of Madeleine?
What were the samples at the FSS compared to then?
Are you going back the a theory she never was in PdL at all?

Yes. Good evening, CLOUSEAU
Read the whole article too at EK.
No Marie F around, and I have no time. So can wait for frommybigdesk, hopefully.
BTW, last night SAM said:

[...] but maddie may never have been in the bedroom that evening.
Now I’ve heard rumours all kids may have been together in one room, but not yet that Madeleine would NOT have been there that night. How did you get to that, Sam? On the basis of a happening on May 2, perhaps?
September 24th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
A serious question,
where is Clarence Mitchell?
Is he not needed anylonger or did they have a row?
September 24th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
bh, all sounds good, re the cats do you mean vet advised not taking to your moms or not taking them to australia ?
September 24th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
slow ffs..I mentioned sperm thought I was back in the abyss
September 24th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
clouseau, anorak is slow this evening in loading. i think i read that the car rented by other taps members was in the car pool of the cars searched, so i really don’t know, idid i misread that or was there another car as well or what. i simply can’t think why a search warrant wasn’t possible.
September 24th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
BH sorry I read that wrong thought it said justice for oranges.
September 24th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
sam
well it looks like they could not get a search warrant..begs the question why not
September 24th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
WHOOPS
Dear just pm Justiceforanangel thats how it works, remember ?
September 24th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
clouseau, yes, what does it mean ? that the vehicle was not part of the dog investigation ?
September 24th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
I had a thought the other day-if someone in the appartment was known to Madeleine-she would have willingly gone with them…no need to scream….
September 24th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
…..erm yeah.
September 24th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
HI YA SAM
Nice to see you !!
All sorts going on here with the ANC, massive infighting , tearing their insides out.

Fetched my son from Boarding school monday, took him to dentist did some shopping for the misses and even sqeezed in a haircut !
Spring holls now, then we are off to Cape Town to take young cats to Mrs B’s mom, we wiil be away till mid Oct.
Vet advised us to leave them for another year, too much strain for them. such a long flight plus being quarantined etc.

Bounty Hunter - well hello to you too!
My puter died and I’ve replaced it with a laptop so I’m back.The more I read on the internet the more worried I get about what is really happening in this world. So much corruption and lies have been revealed on these pages and that’s just the Madeleine case and out of that comes more revelations about the government and their antics.
September 24th, 2008 at 9:50 pm

I’ve never done this before and if I ever get out of moderation I can see that I need to start editing my comments in Word first. I’m not dyslexic but I am dysfingered or something.
