I Cannot BELIEVE it!!!!

I made up my mind not to participate in any further discussion on the avalanche of threads about Madeleine and her Parents.

Being a night owl and having slept for several hours, I was awake about 4.30am , turned to BBC News and was treated to a repeat of the Panorama
programme, switched to ITV and again, a repeat of the interview yesterday. Watching Breakfast T.V. and the Press Headlines for today and most
avoided front page news about the McCanns except the Express and Mirror, now Breakfast News are at this moment interviewing the McCanns, pre-recorded because they are still wearing the same clothes .

Unbelievable!!!! Charlie Stait asks what the twins think of the Campaign. Kate says they know everything, that Scotland Yard is doing a review, that
everyone is still searching for Madeleine. Stait asks whether this is placing a burden on them and they will feel they should continue the search when they get older.Gerry intervenes because he realises Kate has gone too far and says that will not arise .

AAARGH....will no one rid me of this money grabbing, headline hunting couple.?????

BTW It was mentioned that Kate received £1 million from The Sun and Times for the serialisation of her book. I remember the Sun paid £20, 000 but don,t remember The Times...and there is a big difference between £20,000 and £1 million, anybody know?.

Morning Cass, I really cannot understand why, after 5 years the Mccanns can command such support from the Press and now T.V.. It reminds me of
the Emperors (McCanns) new clothes....we are the only ones who can see them naked. Madeleine was put out of the equation a long time ago.

panda no doubt there will be more interviews today havent seen any newspapers -- wonder if kate will be told to say as little as posible today because the foot in mouth . THE TWINS WILL LOOK FOR MADELEINE WHEN THERE OLDER home goal

I think it's overkill.

Imagine an average viewer, say a check-out lady from Tesco. She believes - but! She has to work hard for little money, she's always looked after her children and now we have in one week:
Literally a circus:
DCI Soundbites - Panorama - Daybreak - Lorraine Kelly - press conference - Sky - Breakfast News ....
As you said: on the last one money was mentioned - the cost of the SY review has been mentioned several times.

Our Tesco lady is having to do without a holiday this year - she may well feel they should shut up and should have looked after their children.

Today will it be the Bewk? More publicity?
The pudding has been over-egged. Please keep them on the front page and in the news daily for the next month! Please!

Morning tigger, yes , you are right, it IS overkill and when the book is for sale on 12th May, will it fly off the shelves as the McCanns expect , or be a
of little interest to the public, what can it contain that hasn't been aired already?

I caught the interview on the BBC news this morning. Kate did most of the talking. McCann just sounds too business-like and cold to do their cause any favours imo. They claim to have fresh information and are' relieved' SY are now involved. They both did a lot of head shaking when talking which body language experts may find telling. At the end of the interview they said that they wanted to be able to look back and tell the twins that they did everything they could to find Madeleine. Didn't sound like they really believe that Madeleine can be found.

It is overkill, but I doubt it's working for the McCanns as most people now know that they neglected their children. They are not alone in having a missing child but seem to get more help than anyone else. How can the government justify spending over 2 million pounds on one case, especially in these times of austerity and cut backs?

This over-exposure is being counter-productive as there seems to be more grumbling from neutrals, even if most of it of the "they should be locked up for neglect" type.

Maybe that's it - maybe that's the deal? >> Quick Prosecution & Trial in Portugal (with the connivance of SY, PJ etc.), nominal sentence ("Suffered enough, blah, blah") then back to R.Towers to live happily ever after?

Do you think after 5 years, and with all
the files and info available online, and
with a rising tide of scepticism amongst
the public....will reporters/media personalities
start to challenge the mccann tale?
Eamonn Holmes did voice an opinion,
and I maybe wrong, but I thought L Kelly
was not as pally-wally as in the past.

Oh, there's a distinct whiff of change in the air.

What we need is confirmation - sniffer dogs?

Morning fedrules, I think most people now are heartily sick of the McCanns and many will realise that after 5 years and half the World searching for Madeleine, she will not be found. The fact that the McCanns are making so much money will stick in people's throats too, when so many are really
feeling the pinch because of the recession. Just goes to show how insensitive and arrogant the pair have become.

I'd like to think that this saturation coverage of the fragrant pair has an ulterior motive, but the interviewers are very convincing in their faith in the truth of what they say. A couple of years ago, Bill and Sian on BBC Breakfast came across as not being convinced, but those who express even the slightest scepticism are very few and far between today.

tein morning , yes one paper takes the lead and more will follow - open a very large can of worms - i can dream - but its happening slow but sure

Why has nobody ever asked the "better off financially" than most other people just why they are happy to take the money from pensioners, schoolchildren and less well off people ? The Mccanns live in a big house, they drive around in expensive 4 wheel drive vehicles, they are not living on a pension nor are they out of work. So just why hasn't anyone ever asked this greedy couple how they can take money from people who most likely cannot afford to give but do so thinking they are doing the right thing?

They should be jailed for taking money under false pretences, they are a truly vile couple.

My OH knows the basics of the case but doesn't take an active interest. Although he never swallowed the abduction story.
Usually if the McCanns came on TV he'd probably just switch channels. But today I guess they couldn't be avoided for obvious reasons. And he encountered them on his trawl of TV news items.

And so it was that he came stomping up the stairs earlier this morning just to tell me that he'd seen part of a McCann interview. A big picture of Madeleine appeared and, as he related, they couldn't avoid seeing it, but their expressions never changed. Not one flicker of emotion. He was puzzled and angry.
"This isn't how parents would react!" he spluttered.

I explained that for them, this was normal behaviour and gave other examples of their inappropriate demeanour. He stomped back downstairs, still muttering.

Which just proves that if you go for overkill, someone who doesn't habitually watch you will have a moment like this and rub their eyes in disbelief.
Something they have never learned.
Less is more.

Tigger I agree keep it on the front pages.......

Thanks to , DCI Soundbites - Panorama - Daybreak - Lorraine Kelly - press conference - Sky - Breakfast News.............. And our Gerry and Kate keep up the good work, THE PUBLIC ARE SICK OF IT and questioning these two child neglectors.

Gerry and Kate know that the PJ, LP and SY when ready WILL re-open this case, if not we wouldn't be having this comedy road show, think about it, if they were home and dry we wouldn't be seeing these two on our screens......its all smoke and mirrors, SY are treating them with kid gloves for one reason that is to protect themselves.....everyone is innocent until proven guilty, whatever SY are doing the last thing they will be doing is telling the McCanns the truth, they will be telling the McCanns what they want to hear FOR NOW.
The McCanns themselves are doing a stirling job, the last couple of days has been great, Gerry is a shadow of his normal arrogant self, and Kate is talking for her life, making BIG mistakes along the way, including and, the twins are going to be looking for Maddy when they are teenagers wtf! how well SY are treating them, BINGO SY are doing the ground work for a FAIR TRIAL in the not to near future imo.....

Please posters go over the last couple of days with a fine tooth comb, this imo is the carm befor the storm.

Morning almostgothic, I don't discuss the McCanns with my friends because they cannot understand my "obsession" with the case. However, one friend
who I told what we knew was astonished and saked why the info was not made public in the U.K...........ah Bless.

Well, I keep saying I don't go for conspiracy theories, but I never said I was incapable of producing one of my own!

Morning Lillyofthevalley,

I don't share your optimism because if there was some imminent exposure and all this publicity was designed to make the McCanns feel they are untouchable, which they are at the moment , it would be done more secretively. Sorry

Hi Panda. I completely agree.

I wasted a perfectly good 2 minutes of my time this morning watching the gruesome twosome being interviewed by Charlie Stayt. I wouldn't have cared if he had asked questions which are pertinent. As for the twins helping with the search when they are older, why would they search for a sister they barely knew as Kate herself said that they didn't have much to do with her. The words " spoken" by the twins ( alledgedly) are not theirs they belong totheir parents and as for knowing all about the abduction. Yeah right, if they knew "everything" then they would have hotfooted it to the local nick to let them know.

I can't even watch them on TV any more, even as a soundbite. They make me physically sick.

Morning dazedandconfused.....I honestly don't know what it will take, if anything , to prove the McCanns removed Madeleine's body from 5a in such a
short time . Sousa , the American Portugese Detective engaged by CBS News made 5 videos and at the end said the Tapas 9 timelines were not accurate, the Group never checked on the children as often as they said, which left more time for an abduction. Just suppose it was someone who
wanted Madeleine for whatever reason , they would have kept watch for a couple of days to monitor the McCann activities . Knowing they left the
Patio door open, it would have been a doddle to use that for entry and exit and Kate had to make up the story of the shutters being jemmied and the
curtain blowing because it would have looked even worse for this neglectful couple .
