Madeleine McCann: McCanns Outrage Or Fury
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann…
Hacks are sifting through the Portuguese police’s files.
And reporters are divided: are the McCanns outraged or furious?

Madeleine McCann: Kate and Gerry’s’ fury at ‘club’ devoted to …
Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury.
Disgrace in Holland:
The couple’s spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “If it was Madeleine, it was a disgrace that it was not passed on. We need to know what happened with this.
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “Madeleine McCann: Gerry and Kate learn of Amsterdam sighting - Kate and Gerry McCann have uncovered agonising details about a sighting of a young girl who called herself Maddy and said she had been taken from her mother while on holiday.
Anna Maria Stam, 41, was working in a shop which sold balloons and fancy dress at the beginning of May last year – before she heard the news about Madeleine.
She saw a Portuguese looking man and woman with a French accent walk in with a boy aged six and an eight-year-old girl.
Watching the seemingly happy group, she spotted another little girl, aged about three with shoulder length brown hair, standing nearby.
Her witness statement said: “The little girl stood before me and asked me in English: ‘Do you know where my Mummy is?’
“I answered that her mother was a little bit further back in the shop and she answered: ‘She is not my Mummy.’
“I asked her who the woman was, and she said: ‘She is a stranger, she took me from my Mummy.’ I noticed the little girl spoke good English without an accent.
“Next I asked the little girl what her name was and she said: ‘My name is Maggie.’
“When I repeated it, the little girl said, ‘No, my name is Maddy’. I still remember that because I thought it was a rare name which you didn’t often hear.
“I then asked her where she had last seen her mother and she answered: ‘They took me from my holiday.’”
The little girl then left with the woman. When Miss Stam saw Madeleine’s picture on the internet, she said: “We thought it was very much like the little girl except the colour of the hair.”
Shock - the spotter did NOT tell the papers.
Much more to follow…

The Spider turned him round about, and went into his den,
For well he knew the silly Fly would soon come back again:
So he wove a subtle web, in a little corner sly,
And set his table ready, to dine upon the Fly.
Then he came out to his door again, and merrily did sing,
“Come hither, hither, pretty Fly, with the pearl and silver wing;
Your robes are green and purple — there’s a crest upon your head;
Your eyes are like the diamond bright, but mine are dull as lead!”

They can be as furious as they like - they’re the ones that thought leaving a door unlocked in the middle of the night next to a creepy lane was good parenting.
I’m furious at them.

A Joana Morais personal comment
“Among the motives to consider that the couple had no responsibilities in their daughter’s disappearance, the PM points out, in the archiving dispatch, that none of them was in the apartment when the child disappeared.”
The above is an indirect quote from the Public Ministry’s archiving dispatch that was appended to the process files, a quote taken from an article that was published by Sol, and sourced from Lusa.
I rarely comment on the case on this blog - my posts are mainly dedicated to translations of articles that appear in the Portuguese press, regardless of their contents, because I firmly believe that only by making information generally available, can readers make up their own minds, instead of being shepherded by the media in one or another direction.
There have been many moments, throughout the last 15 months, that have made me feel sad, discouraged, helpless – ultimately impotent to really help in finding a missing child that, for one reason or another, has concentrated our attention and gripped our emotions.
But I honestly cannot remember a moment that even comes close to making me feel as low as I felt yesterday evening, when I read the above mentioned quote.
Never mind that the whole archiving dispatch reads more like a work from a defence lawyer than from a prosecutor.
Never mind that the head prosecutor did not sign the dispatch, leaving the job up to a second in rank.
Never mind that the process is archived with more open questions than answers, and important diligences are dismissed.
What I cannot accept, as a Portuguese citizen, in a case of manifest public interest, is that the Public Ministry holds information that the PJ acknowledges not to have been able to establish, and does not share that information in the process.
[In my opinion] The Public Ministry knows the exact time at which Madeleine disappeared.
It also knows[and] where the parents were at that moment.And finally, it sets one of the most innovative precedents in legal terms, that I had ever heard of: as long as you’re at least 100 metres away from your child, no matter what happens to the minor, it’s not your responsibility.
Brilliant.
August 6th, 2008 at 1:39 am
BRANDON AND KAREN YOU MAKE ME SICK, YOU ARE TWO VERY SOUR SICK INDIVIDUALS, GET OVER YOURSELVES.. THE POINT IS SOMEONE HAS THIS CHILD AND SHE NEEDS TO BE FOUND. YOU MUST BOTH BE SO PERFECT AND I DOUBT VERY MUCH IF YOU LOOK DEEP INSIDE YOURSELF THAT YOU ARE… YOUR BOTH VERY BORING..
August 6th, 2008 at 1:40 am
Karen! I am more furious at the way the UK press are fucking about with the word-mincer.
The Clan have always said that they called her Madeleine - even though some relatives have said they called her Maddy!!!
I am pretty damn fucking sure that if I had kidnapped the most well-known child in the World whose parents were fucking about nipping off to see the Pope and mixing with top extradition lawyers and Senators and MEPs and the Methodist version of Chubby Brown - I wouldn’t fuck off to the back of a shop and leave her to hang around having carte blanche to say what appears to be most specific things like this about herself.
Is this looking a bit like wasting an under-resourced police service’s time again.
August 6th, 2008 at 1:40 am
Let me get this right, two police forces have examined all the known facts.
Now a team of lawyers are examining the transcripts.
A detective agency is waiting in the wings.
A paid spin doctor is speaking on national TV.
Professional journalists are relying on Google translations.
To paraphrase, you would have to have a brain of stone not to piss yourself laughing.
August 6th, 2008 at 1:42 am
Karen /ola
That YouTube video is Brilliant, good find Brandon.
Definitely off to bed, but Ola there could be another interpretation to the “none of them were in the apartment……………….
It might be highlighting the fact that if someone was in the Apartment, Madeleine would
never have disappeared, thereby underlining the parents negligence.
One of the most inane comments Gerry made at an interview was “I just wish I had been
there when it happened…….err, it wouldn”t have happened if you had been there!!!!
Goodnight all sleep well
August 6th, 2008 at 1:47 am
KRIS! I am the sour sick one actually ! With North pointing breasts!
Brandon flours are voices of reason in my sound judgement.
Nobody has this child Kris. The child is deceased and passed over. Trust me.
So get off your high horse and realise that you are dealing with much more intelligent and superior people on here than yourself.
I have learned a lot from Brandonflours and Karen and they stopped me from hanging myself at the top of the stairs many times.
None of us are perfect on here but these two are not boring.
Why don’t you fuck off and talk to people who agree with you?
Ha! Coz no fucker will! Hard to find people who agree with you that M is just waiting to be found.

Saul! CM is a mincing word-mincer - and not very articulate without a well-rehearsed script lol
I am really concerned at the amount of aggression in the Clan’s press statements!
All this fury and anger and outrage going on in such a small family.
Even Frilly filly in the fancy frocks frightened the fucking life out of me with her bulging eyes and spit-spray coming out of her mouth when she spat out out the words of her sister-in-law and brother.
I hope they are not one of those families that fightwith each other and push each other around!
My brother and I had a play-fight one night when we were kids and I went sprawling across my Mum’s satin bed spread and flew 3 feet across the room and banged my head on the radiator and had concussion for two days.
My Dad said that my brother could have killed me ……… It would have been an accident …….. But he could have killed me ……… Because it was right on my temple …… Only an accident ,,,,,,,,, But he could have killed me …… My own brother who loves me dearly ……. But he could have killed me ……… And he is a member of my family.
Knowing my Dad they would have kept it a secret if I had died. He would have got my Mum to pretend that I had been abducted coz he would have been reallly embarrassed.
Where are my tablets?

Don’t forget, attack is the best form of defence, or so they say.
August 6th, 2008 at 2:11 am
Mince pie anyone? I am going to call CM Mr. Mincie-Pie.
Incey-Wincey Mincie-Pie . With a finger in everyone’s web-pie.
These are the the kind of twats that want everybody’s phone records and email records on a database to fight crime - but when it comes down to it and a crime is commited - they don’t want anything revealing at all - about themselves.
August 6th, 2008 at 2:16 am
OK Coco I will try and keep up, I agree that Mr CM comes across as a complete tosser,but then again he is a highly paid tosser
August 6th, 2008 at 2:17 am
Saul! Precisely! And boy can they attack! And sue!
The trouble is - with not being a well person - I don’t just feel attacked - I feel positively assaulted by this set of Tapastwats. I really do.
Assaulted and dazed into a submissive horrible World where I am watching grown-ups fuck about like street-gang members.
No comment! No comment! In the old days she would have got a fucking slap in a local nick for that!
Not that I personally would condone the beating of prisoners and suspects - unless they have just broken into my house or fucked off with my car - but you know what I mean. The cheeky Scouse mare.
August 6th, 2008 at 2:22 am
Saul …… There have been days when I wanted to marry that bastard - but he has not once asked me to jump on his PR team and help him with his sound-bites.
I would have worked with him for free. He should have used Stalin’s approach and kept me close - but hasn’t even bothered to respond when I asked if I may interview the Clan members.
I want to speak to the one who saw all the kids in their jim-jams, DW and that JT one.
I am like Gloria Hunniford in interviews and I think the Clan would have felt they had somebody onside with them.
August 6th, 2008 at 2:27 am

August 6th, 2008 at 5:44 am
Help!
Those pictures of the bed that had no trace of M having slept in puzzles my feeble brain and bends my mind.
Laying aside the fact that it looks like the chamber-maid from Claridges has just made the bed ……… Does this report mean - no hair, no skin cells, sweat in that bed at all?
Or does it mean that the bed itself looked unslept in? Had the child actually slept on that particular bedding. Do we know that yet?
I am buggered today and things are coming at me from all angles.
Paul Burrell wants to come and stay with me for a week and I’ve just been offered a job in PDL.
Daren’t tell you what it is yet in case Anorak ban me
There’s a hell of lot more stuff that’s not right in these files that even I couldn’t dream up after a bottle of vodka.
I honestly don’t think that the Clan had a fucking clue how sh*t-hot these Portuguese police were you know!
I think the Clan are absolutely fucked off with the tenacious way the police have continued to let it be known that there’s a fat chance that murder is on the cards - but they have nothing at the moment to prove it in law.
Therefore - the Clan know that although they are off the hook for now - there’s always going to be another fisherman out there without bait - just a hook!
What a fucking horrible way to go through the rest of your life! It must be like being Gordon Brown!
I hope that the Clan help to clear themselves properly - so that people all over the World believe them.
I’ve got that fucking horrible fish-paste smell up my nose again so I’m off to walk my dog before all the commuters start commuting and pipping their horns at my North pointing breasts!

**********************************************************
An unlikely story if ever I read one…..As has been pointed out earlier, Dr G and Dr K
both impressed upon the world that Madeleine would not answer to a shortened name like Maddie, or Maddy, She was always called Madeleine at home and Madeleine was the name she would only ever respond to.
Clarence seems very impatient to highlight this “story”.
He simpers, “If it was Madeleine, it was a disgrace that it was not passed on. We
need to know what happened with this”
Read on Clarence….read on….you have the Report after all.
Am sure that the Report will inform you what investigative follow-up was done,
and it’s conclusions, by the Police.
Now Clarence, please shut up for a few days and allow us to digest and ruminate
upon the contents of the Report without any jaundiced and self-serving comments
from you in an attempt to distract from an important matter.
There’s a good boy.

“An unlikely story if ever I read one…..As has been pointed out earlier, Dr G and Dr K
both impressed upon the world that Madeleine would not answer to a shortened name like Maddie, or Maddy, She was always called Madeleine at home and Madeleine was the name she would only ever respond to.”
I agree it is an unlikely story.
But we have to remember Gerry’s appalling unmodified accent.
He renders the name ‘Madeleine’, which we native English speakers would give three syllables, ‘Mad - el - ain’, as one long drawn out vowel sound with some sloppy labials at the end “Maaaad’l'n.”
So the child is very probably going to respond to Madie… which may be closed to her father’s attempt.
And of course, as ever, the close family insist he is ‘mistaken’.

Oh, and by the way, were we not told at one point a year or so ago that wine was included.
If so the two bottles of rose which were paid for were supplementary to whatever they were given with the meal.
Perhaps Clarrie needs to Clarrify that.
August 6th, 2008 at 6:59 am
2 bottles amongst 9 people is just silly. A glass and a half each ??
Come on Clarrie. Tell us.
