A nice poster on twitter tweeted the Pt version of the story

Dig a waste of time <a href=Dig a waste of time Pt_sta10" />

before you laugh, an alien describes a non-Portuguese citizen...& they are no longer in the country! I wonder who that is!?

Hi matthew, as I said before, even if they are able to establish that Madeleine is dead, how can they prove who disposed of her body.?

This was a Portuguese story which probably the DStar have 'taken'

Panda, many are in an 8x6 without even a body being found & Badboy, they will dig where ever the intelligence takes them...or not

This was footage tweeted earlier, being said that Scotland Yard believe Madeleine died in May 2007, sadly my Portuguese is very very limited

Word has it that the story was planted by Mitchell on behalf of his clients to drive a wedge between the two forces and The Star as always is quick to be an obliging little helper. This digging around PdL seems to be going down badly with the wee one and his missus.

Both of whom, and their 'friends', are ALIEN and 'foreigners' to Portugal.

How would SY/MET 'react' to a Portuguese ILOR asking to 're-interview' the T9 and JW in the UK?

I can not see a point to digging up at all ,and I doubt if they,will unless after using the machines to look below ground ,find anything ,that would need a dig ofcourse, But to speak of digs any time soon and in around 4 places right ontop of the villagers and guests too ,I don't think so . I also wonder if this was orgenziced at the time the CPS lady went over to Portugal , some months ago ,when we all played guessing game of WHY she went ?. don't think this is a sudden decision really. joyce1938

Spot on - on all points.

Cui bono? Who benefits by the insinuation that the dig is a waste of time? Who benefits by the insinuation that the PJ are 'slamming' SY's efforts to solve the mystery?
Neither police force benefits - neither party would want to read a headline like that which paints them as snipers bickering over an investigation into a child's disappearance. Especially in a chav comic like the Star.
So we can only assume it was planted by someone representing those who would benefit by spreading discord and confusion.
Sorry, no prizes.

Clues?
Co-author Tracey Kandohla. Say no more.

And comments like these:
Local residents also think the digs are futile. One elderly British expat believed the Met police were “trying to prove a point” and “keep their jobs”.

She added: “I wonder what the British taxpayer thinks? After all, they are paying for it!”
This is cynically preying on British concerns about what is happening to the contents of their wallets.
(Careful Clarrie - your political party set this thing up after all ...)

They fear she was killed and her body smuggled out of the country.
(Oh yes, of course. Anywhere but PdL eh? Wotta giveaway)

Mind you, this bit looks promising:
They suspect a foreigner who has now left the ­ country snatched Madeleine.
(Agree wholeheartedly. Because if you are a Portuguese person, a Brit would be classified as a foreigner. And we all know which Brit foreigners have 'left the country'. Ooops)

Maddie TV: The Police Show Off

11 May 2014 | Posted by Joana Morais Leave a Comment





Eduardo Cintra Torres on DCI Andy Redwood's latest media performances in the Algarve




Broadcast by CMTV, May 11, 2014
Eduardo Cintra Torres makes a weekly commentary on CMTV about TV and media and writes on Correio da Manhã newspaper.

Trancript

Eduardo Cintra Torres [ECT] - That gentleman from the Scotland Yard, that appears there [in the video inset they are showing and debating about Redwood's visit to Algarve] - it's actually a pity that we don't have a psychologist here to make his profile, not of Maddie's or of the “assassins”, but of that Scotland Yard gentleman. I look at him and I just think: “this man just wants to appear on TV”. With so many disappearances of children in England... did he choose the Maddie case because he would appear on TV? And they went beyond, now they've come to Portugal to investigate. Why is the Portuguese police being subservient to this mockery, to this televised show off - we had aerial searches in Lagos seven years later! Aerial searches! We need to ask, what exactly is going on?! This is the utmost ridiculous thing, a show off, something just to appear on TV. And then they're going to open holes, searching for, eventually, the child's body at the 25 de Abril street? Was it for this that we had the 25 de Abril [see Carnation revolution]?

João Ferreira (CMTV news anchor) [JF] - The opening of the case by the British authorities was done taking into account the media coverage?

ECT - Absolutely, that police officer from the Scotland Yard in particular pursues that [media coverage]. I believe that is a shame for the Portuguese state to allow the mediatization of an investigation that belongs to the Portuguese and not to the English. If we tried to do the same in England, would they allow it? Obviously not.

JF - They were authorized by the Attorney General's Office...

ECT - Of course, it's the old alliance issue.

JF - Thank you, Eduardo.

Opinion Article excerpt
Maddie TV: poor child

Poor Maddie. A British police chief who just wants to be on TV uses Maddie's parents tenet to show off and comes to Portugal to meddle in the Portuguese investigation. To show off on TV, they “investigate” idiotic leads, for the English to see [i.e. just for the sake of appearances], and they even do “aerial searches” (!!!) seven years after the child disappeared. An embarrassment to him and to the Portuguese state.
in Correio da Manhã, May 11, 2014

Eduardo Cintra Torres has a M.A. Degree in Communication, Culture, and Information Technologies from ISCTE and a Degree in History from Lisbon University. He teaches Television Studies at Catholic University. He is a television and media critic at Portuguese reference newspaper Público, at CMTV (Correio da Manhã television channel) and an advertising critic at Jornal de Negócios. He authored 14 books and various academic articles on TV, media, culture and advertising and co-authored several television documentaries, he also wrote the script for the film Debaixo da Cama (2003).

Madeleine McCann resort dig gets the go-ahead

THIS is the wasteland where police are expected to start a renewed search for clues about Madeleine McCann’s disappearance.


By Jerry Lawton/Published 12th May 2014

madeleine mccann, dig, portugal, police, kate mccann, gerry mccann, missing, vanished, maddieRADAR PROBE: The image shows wasteland where police are expected to search and the appartment where the McCanns stayed [JONATHAN BUCKMASTER]


A judge has given the go-ahead for officers to scour the area with high-tech radar equipment.

It is just 100 yards from the apartment from which the then three-year-old vanished in May 2007 while her doctor parents Kate, 46, and Gerry, 45, were dining nearby.

The couple are today expected to light candles and say prayers at a small party to mark Madeleine’s 11th birthday.

Sources said the “field operation” will begin in the Portuguese holiday resort of Praia da Luz within days.

The first area to be examined is one the size of three football pitches across the road from the Ocean Club resort where the McCanns were staying when Madeleine disappeared.

Holiday flats funded by Irish investors were going to be built on the land until the economic crisis forced the project’s cancellation.

Land near the resort’s Our Lady of the Light Church – where the McCanns prayed for Madeleine’s safe return – is also expected to be examined.


MISSING: It has been over seven years since Maddie went missing [PA]  



“We love you and we’re waiting for you and we’re never going to give up”

Kate McCann

Yesterday Brit Nancy Thompson, who runs The Bull pub in Praia da Luz, said she fears the town will become a “circus”.

She said: “Why didn’t they do this at the time?

"Why are they going to do it when tourists are here?

“It will be like a circus town.

"I just can’t believe they are going to do that.”

Mayor Victor Mata said if locals had spotted anything suspicious since Madeleine vanished they would have reported it.

“We’re here every day,” he said.

“If we had the slightest doubt we would have told police.”

Some residents have complained at the effort being put into the search compared to that for local worker Ricardo Fernandes, who disappeared in April.

Madeleine’s parents continue to believe she will be found alive.

In a BBC interview Kate sent a message, pledging: “We love you and we’re waiting for you and we’re never going to give up.”
