Tony Bennett will be interviewed live this morning (7 May) at around 10.30am for the Maurice Boland Show, on a radio station for ex-pat British and Irish people in Spain. He will talk about his impending trial, but has told Maurice that he will be unable to talk about Madeleine's disappearance directly beause of strict British judicial secrecy rules.

Could be interesting as I used to listen to him when I was on the Costa Del Sol and he wasn't afraid of controversy. I met him once as I was on another show and quite frankly he's got a terrible sense of his own importance BUT when it comes to pushing controversial issues that can actually be a very good thing and if he's into something he won't shut up about it.

Listened to it this morning. Tony did very well, considering he was restricted in what he could say. Maurice Boland is not in our camp but fair play to him for giving airtime to Tony.

Are we allowed to ask Tony Bennett how he feels about the interview?

Yes. The interview lasted about 15 minutes. It dealt primarily with the court case, of course, and the reasons the McCanns had brought the proceedings, though we couldn't go into detail about the nature of the undertakings given. The subject of the wide availabilty of Dr Goncalo Amaral's book came up, and there was an opportunity to explain just how many languages it had been translated into and how many people had read it. Maurice asked if there was an English translation, and I referred him to Anna Esse's translation.

The main challenge came in the forum of this question: "Do you not think you are pursuing a witch-hunt?" I believe a forum member has captured a recording of the broadcast and I would prefer it, if that becomes available, for my contribution to be judged by that. Even under hostile questioning, one can get a message out, and allow listeners to hear some facts. In that sense it was a whole lot better than the BBC's 'Inside Out' programme, where the BBC actively suppressed our message and wholly distorted the successful leafleting exercise we did in Bristol.

Deep respect to you and to Dr Goncalo Amarel. Thank you for your reply and I look forward to hearing the captured recording as and when it is available.

Yes thanks Tony, I couldn't listen to it, the site kept asking me to download some extension or other, and I never do that, and the radio is so old I couldn't get it on there either.

Look forward to hearing this as I havent been able to with the links given. I know how difficult it can be trying to make a case when challenged or simply asked why one does not believe in the official storyline.
The deception is quite subtle but breakable. On the plus side we have very obvious lies and obfuscation that are very provable.
