Now, it becomes clear that the tension came from before. Justine and Gerry had already discussed the honoraries. The advisor wanted to receive overtime and demanded a payment that was above was had initially been agreed.

On the 28th of July, the tension between the family and the spokeswoman was obvious. Kate wrote in her notes that she [Justine] did not have good “interpersonal aptitudes” and that she could even be very “unpleasant”. Kate remembered that there had been an argument between Justine and a relative and that Gerry had tried to calm them down. “It all ended well”, Kate McCann concluded, but still seriously doubted the advisor’s character.’

I hope she sells her story now

Yes I hope Garth likes that !!!

We have been saying it for months

The mc cann finding madeleine website was hacked

I do like this bit

“The intelligent abductor had entered through the door and then became stupid and left with the child through a half opened window, which had forced him to pass by the beds of the other sleeping children – that continued to sleep through the chaos of the search”

Oh….yes,the tide is turning and upsetting our gandolf

The truth of the lie

“Wasn’t there an incapable director around, one of those who climb at the cost of servilism?”

The book that had been promised by Gonçalo Amaral was sold out within hours. Those who have read it, or who are going to read it, will understand that there were all sorts of reasons not to accept the information that was circulated by the English televisions, that Maddie had been abducted, as the only one. If we go through the book in parallel with the PJ’s final report, we definitely realize that it was materially impossible for her to be abducted.

The intelligent abductor had entered through the door and then became stupid and left with the child through a half opened window, which had forced him to pass by the beds of the other sleeping children – that continued to sleep through the chaos of the search. As a matter of fact, if he left onto the street at the time when the witnesses say it happened, and taking into account the depositions that they gave concerning the checks on the children, he had to pass between the father, friends who chatted, who came and went. The book confirms a lot of what we have written here, along so many pages. The technical procedures do not differ from case to case.

They follow protocols that are informal, but so routinely that it is not necessary to be there in order to understand what is happening. Gonçalo Amaral’s team fulfilled them all, except one. He is generous when he assumes that mistakes, which was not his. Or at least, it was not only his. Gonçalo admits that he erred when, during a first phase, he handled the couple with extra caution. It is a mistake and a big one. But was it him who decided it to be that way? Wasn’t there an incapable director around, one of those who climb at the cost of servilism, giving that type of order? The fearsome are afraid of power first, and only then of death.

A case that was communicated by the English government, with the mediation of ambassadors, has forcefully to have a weak director in the middle, who mediated between the servilism before those who give the orders, and the despotism towards those who obey him. I foresee that in defending his honour, by exposing the truth that many wish was a lie, Gonçalo Amaral has not said everything. Even by assuming the mistake, he gave his body to the bullets, in order to defend his institution. I may be wrong, but one that knows the routines of investigation also presumes to know the mechanisms of subordination.

A final word for Mr Mitchell: the best that he found to say was that the book is a pretext to make money at the little girl’s expense. Coming from him of all people, his life has been nothing else, recently. People who cannot distinguish between a pound and the right to defend one’s honour. They sell themselves for any price. In Mr Mitchell’s case, for a good price, it is said.

How kind Colette Douglas Home is to Gerry and Kate McCann (Comment, July 22). She uses many column inches pouring scorn on the Portuguese police (perhaps justifiably, I don’t know), showering Gerry and Kate with sympathy (I, too, feel for them), but only makes passing reference to the action that, had it not happened, would have prevented this heartbreaking event from occurring in the first place.

This is clearly their “decision to leave her sleeping while they met friends for dinner”. Before we set them on a pedestal, let us not forget that they also left two younger children in the room and also clearly took a conscious decision not to use the Mark Warner child-minding services, or to take the children with them that night. I believe, in good faith, that they are guilty of nothing more than what, in other circumstances, might be considered neglect of their children but my grief for them is tempered by their actions. Sadly, none of this will bring Madeleine back.

Allistair Matheson, Selkirk.

In her column, Colette Douglas Home has much to say about policing in Portugal and, in particular, the handling of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance. The reality is that no-one yet knows what happened to Madeleine.

Colette’s opinion - that Gerry McCann is handsome and Kate McCann beautiful - is irrelevant. The eye of the beholder?

Colette states: “And they will always carry the burden of their decision to leave her sleeping while they met friends for dinner.” What kind of parents, in a foreign land, needlessly leave their child, not yet four years old, asleep without a child-minder and out of sound or sight, while they indulge themselves with their friends?

The McCanns deserve all the anguish they brought upon themselves through poor judgment, and not endless public sympathy. Madeleine is the victim. I hope and pray that she is unharmed and is being looked after in loving care, however wrongfully.

Kate’s notes: Mother of Madeleine did not like to be interrogated.
Kate irritated with the PJ in the first day
Kate McCann did not like the Policia Judiciária. In her first day without Maddie, a few hours after having seen her daughter for the last time in the apartment that they all shared in the Ocean Club, the mother of the child did not hide her discomfort in front of the investigators.
