omg i just read on fb Lorraine Kelly will be campaigning for Kate McCann to be made OBE.

I think this is a bad move by Lorraine, she will be ridiculed even more than
she is already.

I rather think that she would just put any criticism down to the haters and ghouls who plague her saintly friends and not give a monkey's!

You could be right there, rather like Fiona Phillips, they dont seem to bother
how they come across on this case.

made a difference to their community or field of work?
• brought distinction to British life and enhanced its reputation?

For certain she has made a difference..........proving that child neglect really does pay well

and

has helped immensely in proving how corrupt the UK is.


I don't see why anyone is surprised at Kate Mccann getting an OBE, in my opinion it has always been on the cards. I'm just surprised it's taken this long.

Yes me too mara, I have been wating for this to happen and I am sure it will come one day

I think we should propose a few equally deserving candidates:

Karen Matthews

John Venables

Both for highlighting the importance of looking after children.

Jimmy Saville for .....(too late, already had one)

Lorraine Kelly for tirelessly absolving parents of neglected children

Jim Gamble for his support ..

David Payne for his complete re-interpretation of the English language as she is spoken...

Harold Shipman for services to the NHS in saving the organisation thousands in long term care.

beverley allot for her child care --- its sick --- the maccans can we can ---



ok school holidays just started and people will be going on holiday ---- another couple leaves their children -- accident or worse -- they get into big trouble maybe jail --- now what if they bring the mcanns story into it ---- i once talked to a family while away about this subject -- and that was the term they said doing a mcann ---any reasonable adult wouldnt leave their babies --- but this is sending a message out to some that it is ok

Aunty Phil - who single handedly provides flood defences for Ullapool, just by opening her mouth.

I'd give that award to Gerry too for his 'purporting a theory,' and his statement that he's 'not denying the existence of the dogs.'

I always remember Fiona Phillips interviewing the McCanns on her breakfast show. She told them in a sycophantic way, that when her boys were small and they went on family holidays, she and her husband had also left them sleeping in their hotel room, while they went out in the evening. I don't know how many time Phillips and her husband did this, I've tried to find a link to the programme, but to no avail.

However I did find a You Tube video of the final 50 seconds of this interview. I can't put the link on here, but the title of the video is "Kate and Gerry McCann look on the bright side."

Should any of you decide to watch the video, I advise you to have a sick bucket at the side of your computer, because the I warn you the 50 seconds of this interview, is as sycophantic as the rest of the interview

Gerry McCann and Jane Tanner (joint award) for their services to Geography.

And another one for Tanner for her invention of the Noiseless Flip-Flop.

Sean McCann for Services To The Fishing Industry.

Here's a link to the video that Kathybelle mentioned.

I'm trying to find a link to the quote where bleeding heart Fiona said that she knew what the McCanns were going through because she had once left her two sons in a hotel room and they were found running amok in the corridor looking for their parents.

I have definitely seen it but I can't find it at the moment.

Clarence Mitchell

For the relentless pursuit of Lies, Spin and Xenophobia on behalf of his nefarious clients

As for leaving children alone - no wonder the interviewers are so agreeable:


Just came across this snippet:

Mauritius honeymoon murder: We're not even safe in paradise, 13 January 2011

Mauritius honeymoon murder: We're not even safe in paradise
The Telegraph
By Judith Woods
7:00AM GMT 13 Jan 2011

- Extract -

When I visited Mauritius, in 2006, I was with my elder daughter, then aged three. As she was too tired from the day's giddy excitements to stay up past supper, I would tuck her into bed before heading off, without a second’s thought, to dine with friends.

A year later, Madeleine McCann was taken from an Algarve holiday apartment in Praia da Luz. Her appalling abduction robbed a family of their daughter and every parent of their prelapsarian innocence – their naivety – that far-flung locations were automatically safer, strangers kinder, risks lower than at home.

I shudder now to think of having left my child – albeit inside a locked hotel room – alone in what is, for all the fluffy white bath robes, a developing nation, where petty crime has an altogether more desperate, vicious edge. My hotel was luxurious to a fault, peopled with a vast number of smiling staff and well-heeled guests; does that make it less likely or more likely to be targeted by criminals?

It doesn't surprise me in the slightest to read drivel like this from the sycophants of the British media. According to Mitchell, "We all do it." But, it depends very much on who "we" are. He certainly wasn't referring to the majority of parents in Britain, but he was appealing to a certain class of parent; those career types for example who initially put their careers before having children and invariably had their children in their late 30s - early 40s i.e. at a stage of their careers/life when it was not only a "lifestyle" choice such as the latest Gucci handbag or Jimmy Choe shoes, but also when their "me time" habits had become so entrenched that they found themselves with insufficient time for proper parenting. So they changed the rules to say that - leaving infants alone to fend for themselves is OK - we all do it. I suspect that a majority of McCann supporters fall into this category and that a majority of McCann critics do not. It just so happens that most of the media types such as Fiona Philipps, the Kelly woman etc. etc. do. This has always given the McCanns an unfair advantage as far as getting sympathetic media coverage has been concerned. Another thing about this phenomenon is that McCann supporters are rarely divided in their support i.e. those who see no case for neglect seem automatically to believe in the abduction story. There are many of us who see the neglect issue as a red herring. Unfortunately it certainly seems to have worked in the McCanns' favour in obtaining the support of the professional and upper middle classes without which, attaining their 'celebrity' status would not have been possible.

Great rant T42!

The one thing that pleases me is that five years down the line they are still elaborating on the size of their garden. I love the look on Gerry's face when he has to trot it out once again. It's like the 10.000th performance of the Mousetrap - loses a bit more conviction every time.

Wtf? See this is probably why she's on their bandwagon, she's trying to absolved her own guilt.

It looks as if the article has been whooshed but there was a comment to the effect that she was guilt-ridden when she saw her sons' tear-stained faces.

I've found this very early Mirror story in which a German journalist was very brave to say what she did at that stage of the game. Fiona has commented at the end of the article. I must admit that I hadn't realised that there was what she calls a venomous whispering campaign even then - clearly some people (sadly not me) weren't fooled right from the start.

Thx Tigger. Yes ... or the comment to the reporter at the European Parliament press conference who had had the audacity to ask something about Madeleine - about it being so boring having to go over old ground.

Oh yes, Fiona went to dinner in a hotel whilst leaving her wee ones sleeping in the hotel room... so she thinks she and Kate are kindred spirits.

They are... They both possess poor parenting skills and admit to to the fact publicly.
