Lets face it, after last week's sensational headlines linking the McCanns to Maddie's disappearance, who in their right mind would wish to be associated with them. It has been rumoured that this event has been arranged for the 27th of Jan so as to ditract from the start of Halligen's trial. There may well be something in that as it does seem bizarre to hold a 'celeb fund raising event' mid-way through the court hearing. I see that they have linked this event to missing children charities, probably fearing that no-one would attend if it was in support of the McCann Fund alone - had they not done this, I think, as you say Pussycat, they would have been forced to cancel.

The sensational headlines were all printed two years ago. It didn't seem to affect their support then, so not sure why it being re-printed will make any difference.

same old same old.

It'd have been more shocking back then, because people didn't have access to the reality of the situation in relation to the police files.

If Martin Brunts 100% DNA match didn't frighten people off then I doubt a bit of recycled shock horror reporting is going to.

The point is the other charities are looking for hundreds of missing children and they desperately need the funds. The McCanns say they still have £400,000 in the fund, why do they need more? Talk about planning ahead.... thinking According to them Madeleine is still alive, therefore, logically she could be found any minute, so why want the fund to have such huge amounts of money? Surely you would wait till you were penniless and then plead for more?? Or beter still ask your family and friends to help?

Oh I don't know. If people want to spent their money on that dinner, why not? It's their money, their choice.
At least there's half of the profit that goes to other charities.

I'm sure those charities will benefit greatly. This is good news.

Well, imo, it isn't good news that these charities feel the need to align themselves to Rothley's very own 'HIndley and Brady' in order to raise money.

Do you know what Hindley and Brady did?

The other day you said you felt sorry for the McCanns - now you are saying they are equivalent to Hindley and Brady.

I don't understand where you're coming from on that.


ETA, sorry, pitied was the word you used. Not sorry for.

I have never said I feel sorry for the McCanns. I have said that I believe that kate is to be pitied at times as she appears to be having more difficulty than Gerry in carrying the burdon of guilt - it is etched in her face.

I stand by my comments and think them every bit as evil and twisted as Hindley and Brady.

Then I can only assume that you are unaware of the depth of depravity shown by Hindley and Brady, and that you are unaware that they were convicted as such.

Even going along the lines that Amaral's theory is correct, for the purposes of your post, - to liken a child dying in an accident to the torture and sexual molestation of those poor, poor children is bizarre, recorded for pornography.....

It leads me to believe that you're not a supporter of the accident theory.

Or that you're trying to get a rise out of me.

Good to see that they are considering other children who are missing - properly considering this time by sharing some of that massive pot that they have around. That's actually good news though their celebrities bash night does still leave me wide eyed and opened mouthed as to where their heads are in this sad sad situation.

Take care
