From day 1 the McCanns have never accepted any liability for Madeleine's disappearance and I think back to the picture of Gerry with his "Wider Agenda"
which started when the Tapas group got together before even the Police arrived to write down their timelines for checking on their children. Had they been distraught and felt they HAD to physically search for their beloved daughter , I'm sure OC Staff or any of the Group would have volunteered to look after the twins. How could Kate , in reply to this question from Jane Hill of the BBC say "well, we were busy"!!!

But it's true Panda.  They were desperately busy on that ill-fated night.......

cobbling together their half baked abduction story!

Morning pennylane, I don't often wish ill on anybody but this couple have run rings around the Portugese Judiciary, the UK Press, 3 British Prime Ministers, the generous people who donated to their FindMadeleine fund while they have done b***erall except make more money , quite an acheivement wouldn't you say???

As I have said often, their unbridled greed and narcissism are second to none.  

But this time around they will tank spectacularly (imo).  Their shameful pursuit of Dr Amaral has been a massive blunder on their part.... of that I have not a doubt in my mind!

Pennylane, no wonder they tried to do a deal with Amaral , probably Carter Ruck told them they didn't have much of a case.

I can only imagine Dr Amaral's sheer disgust at their slimy attempt to save themselves..... yet again!

I only hope this Judge is more experienced than the injunction judge who was very young. I see Kate still has her wedding ring on , did Gerry not attend because they really have split , or he was afraid he wouldn't be able to keep a cool head . This is the sad part in all this, the McCanns claiming Amaral's book caused such harm , yet I bet when the children go to school today they will be talked about , some probably saying to them "I saw your Mum on the tele yesterday".

There's hardly been a week in the last six years that the McCanns haven't been on TV or in the papers so maybe by now the twins' friends are so used to it that they don't mention it.

Hopefully they don't throw up at the nauseating spectacle either.

I don't think 'a split' would prevent them doing what it takes to make a financial killing and further improve their standing. They obviously have a deep-rooted fear regarding their success, or they would both be there (imo). Gerry's career cannot sustain another fiasco like the last one, and he is the breadwinner, and the one with ambitions, hence he is keeping his distance this time around.

Sadly, the twins cannot escape the infamous McCann stigma, especially since they, along with their sister, have been used with such callous disregard by the parents (imo).  But like NBY says, perhaps the twins friends are bored with it all now.  Could be the calm before the storm though!

Morning NBY......this case has been analysed and discussed to such an extent there really is not much else to say now. The McCanns are crazy if they think Amaral's video on youtube will upset the twins.!! What about the numerous blogs like ours , critical of the McCanns ? The twins would easily have access to them as well.

How can Emma loach, the mccanns film make say she has seen the truth off the lie on sale in shops here in the UK


It's a blatant lie, why didn't she take a picture off it or Inform the sun newspaper to go take a picture and then splash it all over the front page with the words.....Banned book on sale in UK......but it hasn't happened.

Morning kitti, did she really say that??? The Book is still in Portugese for starters and the video translated on youtube. This is the same Emma Loach who had to drop Kate's character out of the Channel 4 documentary because it didn't tie in with any of the other Tapas groups recollection. The American actress whose role ended up on the cuttingroom floor looked remarkably like Kate.

IMO the twins may be the deciding factor in this case. If the Judge decides against the McCanns, surely this would damage the twins future in a much bigger way than GA's book ever could do. Is it right that the Judge take the twins' future into account in a libel action? Shouldn't the arguments only be about whether it was right or wrong to write the book from the point of view of the criminal investigation only and whether it hindered police procedures? On the other hand, that being the case, wouldn't it be SY and the Portuguese police vs. Mr Amaral, because he hampered their efforts?

This has got to be the most ridiculous court case in living history!!! We have had the Andrew Morton book about Diana, one (at the time) of Britans most high profile women, not banned, the Kitty kelly book about Reagen, not banned.....shall I go on, there are hundreds if, not thousand more?
It is beyond comprehension that a pair of child neglecting excuses for parents left their eldest child alone night after night while they went on the piss, have so much power, and resources to bring such an effing case like this to court in the first place!!

There you are fred! ...Again, I agree with you entirely :-D

Absolutely spot on fred. I think many of us would like to know the real reason the McCanns have so much power, there has to be one.

If someone cracks the reason why they have so much power then everything else will fall into place.

I agree fred, this has got to be the most bizarre case where Parents have used money supposed to be for searching for their Daughter to sue an ex Detective because they can't accept the fact that if it wasn't for their negligence their daughter would not be missing. The " I want to stay in Portugal as long as it takes to find Madeleiene", they were on tthe next plane out of Portugal when they were made aguidos.

Keela that's what I think too. What the hell can it be? Everyone guesses this or that and nobody knows! ... Well... Some people must!

As I have said before, I read a long time ago that Gerry was a Fund Raiser for the Labour Party and probably met Blair and Brown at functions which is why they had each other's mobile numbers and I suspect Gerry phoned Tony, who then phoned John Buck. It's likely that Gerry would have been privy to info which would embarass the Labour Party if known. After the Leveson enquiry it was suggested that Gerry was being groomed to become an MP , which makes sense . Cameron, like everything he does, jumped on the McCann bandwagon for no other reason than to give him Kudos.

The twins are plenty old enough to look after themselves now.Maddie was a Firemonitor at the age of nearly four so Her siblings should be more than responsible now.

There have been one or two theories on this question. I know which one I think is a possibility but it's a very long shot.

Methinks the McCanns are going to rue the day they tried to stop Amaral Lioned. If they lose this case just watch the Walls of Jericho come tumbling down. If true that Gerry and Kate have split , I suspect Kate will take the twins to Canada because their reputation will be shot , at least they will lead a normal life.

Go on MaryB which one do you think is feasible.? We are all groping in the dark as to how the McCanns have been able to dictate everything, I certainly have never known such Government support for anyone at this level.

well its all about you reap what you sow and karma isn't it. they wanted massive publicity it wasn't about searching for Madeleiene imo it was to keep them in the news, didn't the pink one say it would become about the parents. its been about them for so long. I cringe when I hear her. who didn't search, carry on about those who hindered it. The events whatever they were are haunting them now, and they are using the twins imo to try and shackle Dr G Amaral more than he already is. The internet is full of people with theories, imo the McCs are concerned that the twins will find out that if what the McCs say is true, the 3 of them could have been taken because there was no one there to prevent it. that is what I believe the McCs want rid of. closure of anything on the internet to do with the case so the twins cannot find out that they might have gone the way of Madeleine if the McCs story is true. and that's damn scary to anyone, adults included, never mind children. jimo

yes tanzi , they created a company 12 days after Madeleine went missing.....how could they know she would not be found?These are two very canny people , they have kept this case alive by using the Media to their advantage and in the process have probably cleared their Mortgage, not bad for a couple who were said to have money problems when they went to PDL.
