Brits raise thousands for Maddie cop's libel appeal

Judging by recent comments, the Cyprus and bike ride articles appear to have generated additional funds being donated to the Defence Fund.

Yes, I've seen that too.

In an amazing outpouring of support, British people donating to an online appeal have raised almost €46,000 to help former Portuguese detective Gonçalo Amaral stand his corner against the parents of Madeleine McCann. As newspapers have reported throughout the world, Amaral has been slapped with a €600,000 bill for the pain and anguish his book ‘The Truth of the Lie’ caused Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry. In a poignant interview with Portuguese magazine Nova Gente, Amaral explained how the only thing keeping him alive since the verdict that went against him was his heart. “My life is gone,” he said. But he hadn’t bargained on the sheer volume of support, waiting to be rallied to his cause by a 22-year-old single mum from Birmingham, who was only 14 when Madeleine went missing from apartment 5a in the Ocean Club, in Praia da Luz. In six whirlwind weeks, almost 2,000 people have dug into their pockets, some again and again with tiny amounts, others occasionally with lump sums of £1000 at a time. As we clocked off for the weekend, the fund was one person short of 2,000, with the amount collected standing at £32,675. Leanne Baulch, the young woman behind the initiative, was “amazed”. “I never imagined we would get this far,” she told us. The money now will all be ploughed into Amaral fighting his appeal, lodged earlier this month, and likely to cost “at least £40,000”, explained Ms Baulch. The long-running civil court case was lodged against Amaral by the McCanns in 2009 after he wrote his book explaining the theory that Madeleine had not been abducted at all. natasha.donn@algarveresident.com

Shocking that Kate McCann isn't behind bars yet.

Hear is the latest I've heard from the Alternative View's grapevine-

"Saw Kate McCann in a coffee shop in Edinburgh with a familiar looking blonde woman yesterday. I wanted to ask where her twins were, but she looks fucked, running gear on, gaunt, stressed and haunted. I saw them again later going into their hotel - i hope the twins weren't left there!
nah! I always thought she was a wrong un, but the woman with her struck as being some sort of coach/agent who has to keep her busy and 'together' before she cracks and spills the beans.... Kate didn't look like a woman i could bring myself to challenge or question, seriously ill !"

Isn't it strange that Kate is continuing the myth that there is still hope! There is no hope because Maddy McCann is dead.

Clarence Mitchell knows it, Kate and Gerry know it and so does Richard D Hall.

Perhaps there is a connection between the McCanns and the Hampstead case?

Congratulations to Gonçalo Amaral for lodging his appeal. We are all behind you and behind justice for Maddy too.

To quote George Orwell: 'In a time of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act' In this instance those who are trying to understand/ uncover the discrepancies in this case are labelled in the media as 'TROLLS' - well if Troll means this:- T enaciously R elentlessly O uting L amentable L udicrous S cenarios Is this a bad thing? Keep going all you 'revolutionary 'trolls'."

Have you noticed KM bike ride just giving page is still open...she has three months to catch up with mr Amaral.

I thought I read where the money for goncolas fund was shut now ? or did the lady hand over to someone else ? joyce1938

Hi Joyce, the fund is continuing, you may have heard that Leanne who had her name down as the Go Fund contact needed to concentrate on her daughter and her studies so the contact has gone to PJGA who are the people the money goes to who are running their own fund for Mr. Amaral. The money collected on Go fund gets transferred to the PJGA Fund.

Great news - thanks to today's recent donations the Legal Defence Fund now stands at 38,035 pound.
