Madeleine Book tour abandoned as Kate terrified of assault?

I wonder if she now realises how those abandoned babies felt and how they must have been terrified of being abducted?

KATE MCCANN FEARS ATTACK

Madeleine book tour abandoned 239778_1

Madeleine McCann's mother Kate McCann will not do a book tour as she fears an assault

Sunday April 10,2011

By James Murray and Tracey Kandohla

KATE McCann is so fearful of being attacked she is refusing to do public signings of her new book about the fight to find daughter Madeleine.

She will do television interviews here and in Portugal, where Madeleine disappeared four years ago, but will not meet the public over fears for her personal safety.

A source close to the publishers told the Sunday Express yesterday: “Kate doesn’t want to give anyone the opportunity of heckling her or attacking her during any promotional tour. It’s been emotional enough just writing the book.”

The 348-page book, called Madeleine, is published on May 12, the little girl’s eighth birthday.

We can disclose that one of the groups that could potentially have caused trouble is The Madeleine Foundation, which plans to distribute leaflets and step up an internet campaign confronting Kate and Gerry McCann on the date of publication.

They have already written to publishers Transworld demanding answers to 163 questions.

The questions include several put to the couple by the Portuguese police. One question asks: “How would the McCanns’ children have coped if there was an emergency while they were absent and out of earshot?”

They also ask why the McCanns did not use the hotel’s evening baby-sitting service.

The Foundation letter states: “Many feel that the McCanns owe it to the public, whom they have so frequently asked for help, to give them reasonable answers to their questions.”

Kate, 42, has written the book because the Madeleine Fund, set up by well-wishers, is getting through money fast.

That's below the belt, but the bit underneath is quite good I thought, they printed a couple very good questions which I'm sure the public would like answers to. I'm sure the MF will get lots of hits after this article.

This line from the Express in not very complimentary...

I am now at liberty to disclose the correspondence between James Murray of Express Newspapers and myself yesterday (Friday) late afternoon.

We did not speak.

This was the entirety of the e-mail exchange.

There was no prior discussion with anyone from The Express before the first e-mail arrived:

Many thanks especially to the forum-owner here and to her supporter Candyfloss for providing this forum on which I can convey information such as this:

JAMES MURRAY, EXPRESS NEWSPAPERS, TO TONY BENNETT

THE EXCHANGE OF EMAILS (VERBATIM) ON FRIDAY 8 APRIL 2011

Hello Mr Bennett,

I am writing to ask you whether the Madeleine Foundation is still in existence,

Yours

James Murray

5.33pm Bennett to Murray

Yes, very much so, please have a look at our website, www.madeleinefoundation.org.uk

If you have a moment, please also look at our list of 163 questions about Madeleine's disappearance which we wish the McCanns to answer in their forthcoming book. We sent a copy of this list to Transworld (their publishers) back on 31 January but have not yet had a reply.

A new leaflet: ''50 FACTS about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann" is due out any day.

We have a public reading of the 48 questions that Dr Kate McCann refused to answer at: http://vimeo.com/14180705

We welcome enquiries about our ongoing work and our research work on the case is at your disposal for free on our website (subject only to acknowledgement of its use under 'fair use' rules).

5.52pm Murray to Bennett

How do you intend to distribute the new leaflet and can you say where the public reading will be?

6.13pm Bennett to Murray

The leaflet is actually the work of a separate group called The Madeleine McCann Research Group, to which of course we have close links.

The primary method of distribution will be door-to-door deliveries in areas where we have our members and supporters.

It will also be distributed via the internet, indeed it is already available to view on the net, and we have a 20-minute illustrated video of the '50 FACTS' in preparation which will be placed up on YouTube, we hope in good time for the McCanns' book launch:

Very interesting piece. As mentioned on another site - Kate McCann took part in a fully publicised run last week in front of hundreds of people and press. She didn't fear an attack then, did she?

Nice to see the MF's perfectly reasonable questions printed. What with this and the meltdown on the Official McCann Facebook page, it's not a good week for them, is it?

Mr Bennett, I swear you will crack this case Madeleine book tour abandoned 636506

by Guest 10.04.11 0:13

Bit more at the end of the article.............................

The McCanns want to be able to pay for further private detective work to track her down and cling to the belief that Madeleine is still alive somewhere.

Kate has said: “My reason for writing is simple – to give an account of the truth.

“Every penny we raise through its sales will be spent on our search for Madeleine.”

The couple have devoted their lives to finding Madeleine.

They live in Rothley, Leicestershire, with their six-year-old twins Sean and Amelie.

The couple say Madeleine was abducted from their Algarve hotel apartment where the children had been left while they had dinner with friends a short distance away.Public book-signings have become a risk for celebrities.

Last year former prime minister Tony Blair was pelted with eggs and shoes by anti-war protesters at a signing in Dublin.

A year earlier X Factor star Leona Lewis was punched in the face as she signed copies of her autobiography in London.

Interesting choice of words from the Express in bold, not Madeleine was abducted, but the couple say Madeleine was abducted.

They wouldn't want to contradict their chief public relations officer, Clarence Mitchell, would they? - who told dozens of listeners on Radio Humberside on 6 January this year that the claim that Madeleine was abducted was only 'an assumption', or 'a working hypothesis'.

This post is by muratfan = Ian West of Norwich, a notorious, obscene and hate-filled supporter of the McCanns. We are leaving this post here so that guests can see what kind of supporters the McCanns have. Ian West thinks he is clever in using lots of different usernames, but his IP address gives him away every time he registers here under a new name, although it does give us valuable new information about him. We knew West was 'ScenicBoots' the moment he joined - Admin.

Do i take it then, that the founders and members of the Madeleine Foundation are indeed happy being named as one of the groups that could cause trouble?

The Madeleine Foundation has already made public statements that none of its members had any intention of coming anywhere near the McCanns (now aborted) proposed book signings - Admin.

It seems once again Bennett has been duped into revealing things (a la Simon Hare) which is making the Foundation look like a bunch of nutters and haters. Is this what you all want to be classed as? Are you all happy that Bennett will ruin you? Be prepared because you are not anonymous on any site you visit, even if you try to use Proxy Ip's to visit sites, using Dongles on your Laptop (like someone from Essex does, Vodafone i believe) you are logged and watched.

Ha ha! 'Tis you, Ian West, that are being watched, and those who share your IP address as well - Admin.

Do you not think that you are or have been subject to Police activity watching these sites? You will be wrong. Complaints have been made against a number of sites and against individuals but now the Police do nothing because they see what is put on sites first on all sides of the arguments. They can and will have access to the Private Forums, they will easily be granted those permissions, even if the board owner does not agree, the hosting company and board provider can easily look into the posts that are there. Afterall it is them that are liable to any claims mad eto them, therefore they pass the buck.

Those viewing your post, West, will see the above for what it is, a vain attempt to frighten people off a successful and robust forum that carries articles and discussions querying the McCanns' 'assumption' and 'hypothesis' that Madeleine McCann was abducted - Admin.

So maybe Judge Mental was correct, Admin would not know who has been snooping around the boards as they will not have a log in. Forumotion will have access, via secret doors and back doors, as it will be in their programmes, so unless you are a very competent programmer, who can hack into their programme and change it all then ask yourself these questions.

Judge Mental has been wrong about so many things recently, including the point you mention. Probably the less said about Judge Mental right now, the better - Admin.

ARE YOU HAPPY TO BE DRAGGED INTO THIS WITHOUT THINKING FOR YOURSELF, HAPPY TO POSSIBLY BEING MADE HOMELESS FOR CONTINUING LIBELLOUS STATEMENTS, AND WILL YOU ALL BE HAPPY TO PAY BENNETT'S LEGAL BILLS FOR ANY LEGAL ACTION HE HAS TO DEFEND?

What is wrong about publishing 163 questions which the McCanns jolly well ought to answer to their donating public? What is wrong about publishing 50 facts about the case? (you know, the ones that Jayelles says he wants to debate, then ducks out of debating? There's nothing libellous in those two documents, is there? - Admin.

BECAUSE REMEMBER THE LAST TIME BENNETT HAD TO FACE LEGAL ACTION (where he said the leaflets would stand up to any court case) YES HE WIMPED OUT SO QUICK AND GAVE IN THAT LEAD TO HIS UNDERTAKING IN COURT REGARDING LIBELLOUS CLAIMS.

HE WILL DROP PEOPLE IN IT TO SAVE HIS OWN SKIN, THAT YOU CAN BE SURE OF.

Bye bye until the next time you register under another alias, West. - Admin.

Are you saying that your Judgment of Judgemental was as good as your wifey's judgement on Simon Hare? Which was this i believe

M

y wife met Simon Hare, made him and the cameraman a cup of tea etc. and can usually weigh people up quite well, she thought he was fair, personable and straightforward.

How wrong you were then Bennett, just shows how much you lie.

Wow, what a thorough little researcher you are, hoarding all those quotes up.

Yes, Simon Hare was a nice bloke, but he's a media man working for an organisation that believes the McCanns, so I hold up my hands and admit we expected too much from him. We hoped for fairness, but didn't get it.

Look at the 'Jayelles' thread, you'll see the excuses she has made so far for avoiding a debate, and of course she's not replied direct yet. It's her call now.

The way I see the Simon Hare's 'niceness' is subjective.
Where MF's presentation was concerned he was deceitful and disrespectful and a bully after that when it was pointed out to him.

No individual with their own mind, dignity and intergrity can say the organisation they work for forced them into that situation - no one points a gun at him.

If it wasnt his original intention to be deceptive and his reputation was put at risk by organisation, it was up to him to throw his hands up and protest to safeguard his reputation. He didnt.
So, to me, there's a v. thin grey line whether it was organisation behind his final production output or he'd never intended to be fair, and his promises were just baits in disguise, so falling into organisation's final edit decision suits him just as well.

He cant hide behind his boss's skirt so to speak..because it was him who made and broke the promises...not his boss.

by aiyoyo 10.04.11 10:14

WOW, the fact that Express initiated that correspondence means something. That article is free publicity for MF and now people would want to know about the '163 questions' and '50 reasons' and MF's stat counters are going to go up.

The mccanns can run but cant hide. Muratfang and the people he supports must be drowning and desperate if he's is sent here as troll. Cant believe he'd even resorted to coming here to post his vitriol --if that's not desperation I dont know what is. I wouldnt dream of visiting his filth site whereever or whoever that be that supports his filth and diatribes.
