Look what happened with the news of the world .

They ARE shaping this already by allowing posts albeit heavily moderated and all backing the McCann's . I have thrown in the name David Kelly into all my posts because Knowing this case nothing i repeat nothing would surprise me anymore .

She did do something wrong, she went too far with the 'i'll supply the matches tweet', tweets like that do nothing for us on the side of justice, rather it tars us all. She was right to voice her opinion but not in the way she did with some tweets.

That said of course she didn't deserve the media storm this week.

RIP Brenda
Did she say that in response to another tweeter? or directly to the McCanns who don't read the tweets.

Irrelevant points. It was said about the Mccanns and she should have known how it would come across and be used. It was a nasty thing to say. She probably tweeted thousands of good questions but now will be remembered for one or two.

I am so sad that this has been confirmed to be true.

Equally, I am disgusted and furious at the way this has all come about.

Right now I'm struggling to write anything that doesn't include a string of 4 letter words.

the rest of the UK media are now reporting though still all quiet from the sky news outlet

I will try for the 4th time to post a reply to this
Margaret please check your facts. Brenda is not the one who tweeted this. Her tweet was positioned next to more salacious ones where the names were blacked out so it appears that it is she who is saying it. If you thought that then so do others which has prompted a rash of serve her right type quotes on Twitter.
There is a vile piece of work on FB MM Debate Group who constantly uses the C word to reply to anyone who questions TM and she made reference to those other tweets, attributing them to BL. Even she had to apologise. Some of her remarks the other night after the story broke were far worse than anything attributed to Sweepyface. I hope she is repentant now but somehow I doubt it.
I have sent a message to Ofcom regarding Brun`t disgraceful journalism and I think I may also complain about Malone. I would urge you all to do the same. Here is the link.

Edited to add The entire thread that I mentioned above has been taken down. Funny that. I think the pros are getting sweaty palms. Luckily I have saved a few comments from some of their convos.

Q) HOW DID MARTIN BRUNT "TRACK HER DOWN"?

He was GIVEN an address.

Agreed, that is a very important 2nd question.

Q1. How did she die?

Leicestershire Police were called to a hotel in Enderby, Leicester yesterday. A spokeswoman said the death was not being treated as suspicious.

by tiny 05.10.14 20:05

I just hope brunt is happy with collecting his blood money(wages) for all his work he does for and on behalf of the mccanns. DESPICABLE PERSON.

I will admit to smelling a rat at the outset of this in that I thought she might be a plant. However the fact that she has died puts paid to that so I can only think someone who knows what her feelings were dobbed her in. If that is the case then the contaminant is spreading fast.
I hope PG SM and JFR are quaking in their boots whilst donning their gas masks. Women and children first.

That is what Brunt said on Twitter. I have no idea if BL's Facebook page was already known before Brunt started to track her but if so it is very easy to find.

Not that that makes it right, of course.

by tiredofthebs 05.10.14 20:11

Don't let all this "twitter troll" nonsense from the media fool you.

Brenda has done nothing illegal whatsoever. She hasn't contacted the McCanns, she hasn't threatened them, she hasn't even directly accused them of a crime as far as I know. She said they should suffer for the rest of their lives or something similar. That is not illegal.

She is a completely innocent woman who simply gave an opinion and discussed a case on an open platform, twitter, which we are all encouraged to use.

I have seen the media try to suggest that people who don't use social media are weird and loners. My suggestion to people is not to use it after the way things seem to be going. But make no mistake, Brenda has done nothing wrong whatsoever.

Nope.

That's won't do.

How was a correlation made and how did that lead to her exact address?

Many questions Martin Brunt needs to explicitly answer.

I hope there is an independent inquiry (and pigs might fly).

I think the simplest answer to that is that the pro-McCanns made it a point to find out who she was, and they passed that information to Martin Brunt. In my opinion only.

It really is easy to discover somebody's online identity even if using an alias. by tracking back ,there constantly replying to particular posters, writing style, usage of localised words MY DUCK for eg or a phrasing that tallies with the known persons writing's . [ i cannot spell have terrible punctuation , if i was replying to persons after a while i would be outed by my poor grammar ]

Once the alias real identity was known , by the pro's it would have been posted online . and picked up or KNOWING THIS CASE PROBABLY CC'D !!! in to all there press allies Michell, Brunty etc . then he Brunt would have took it onto himself with permission from his editor to go all Roger Cook .

by TheTruthWillOut 05.10.14 20:15

@BlueBag

I honestly wasn't really following this "troll" stuff by Sky and don't know the timeline. If BL's Facebook wasn't known and all he had was her Twitter handle I agree with you.

She never said that.

She asked a rhetorical question and provided the answer.

Because surely the McCann's lives will always be miserable because of what happened to Madeline?

Low. Low. Low. Low. "Journalism".

Journalists who engage in such practices can burn in hell.

I think that is a likely explanation.

Or maybe a media monitoring unit.

Who knows?

I don't think Brunt did the legwork.

But we need to know.
