Lorraine Kelly's Latest Pro Gerry & Kate Nonsense

In today's 'The Sun' Lorraine Kelly once again shows that she believes every claim that Gerry & Kate make.
No matter how unlikely or illogical that claim may be.

And, she shows the usual UK Media trait of not being able to refer to Goncalo Amaral without putting the word
'disgraced' before his name.

I do not believe Kate's claim that Sean heard Goncalo's claims while he was sitting on the school bus. And Lorraine
seems to think that Sean heard Goncalo personally making the claims on the radio! Rather than just a News Report
that repeated his claims. It is all obvious nonsense, & Lorraine must be one of the most stupid of Gerry & Kate's supporters.
Too dumb to notice any of the Golden Couple's contradictory tales, & so gullible that she 100% accepts & believes everything
that they say - no matter how silly it sounds.

In the Article she tries to make Kate sound like Mother Teresa, & Goncalo is 100% useless, in her warped view of it all.....

MADDIE CLAIMS UNJUST

As if she hadn't suffered enough distress, pain and sorrow, Madeleine McCann's mum, Kate, had to hear her
little boy ask why a policeman was saying his mummy had hidden his big sister.
Sean McCann had heard disgraced Portuguese police officer Goncalo Amaral on the radio claiming that his
mum and dad had faked their daughter's abduction.
The poor little boy would have been completely bewildered - and Kate must have felt that a dagger had been
plunged into her heart.
She was able to answer calmly and console her son, but how disgusting that this poor family were put through
such an ordeal by the revolting claims of a man who should have been leading the hunt for Madeleine.

Tirelessly

He seemed more interested in writing a profitable book about the tragedy and discrediting her distraught parents.
Kate and Gerry are suing Amaral over claims made in the book and in a documentary, alleging Madeleine is dead
and somehow they are complicit.
His smears have caused unbelievable agony and led to a whole raft of conspiracy theorists crawling out of the woodwork
to sling buckets of mud at Kate and Gerry.
For the past seven years they have tirelessly tried to find their daughter.
Amaral was so inept he was quickly taken off the investigation, and his bungled handling of the case could mean that Kate and Gerry
never find out what happened to their daughter.
That they are now having to go through a court ordeal to have his claims discredited is cruel and unjust.

Oh dear, this has got my day off to an aggressive start!

To think that this woman is paid for the garbage that she churns out.

That is completely untrue.  I have followed this case from the beginning and there was a lot of speculation before anyone even knew Amaral's views on the case. There is always going to be speculation when a child  goes missing and no-one knows what happened to her.  Even if GA didn't exist you can guarantee there would be rumours and that the twins would one day hear something about their parents being involved in their sister's disappearance.

To paraphrase KMC's version of this event, she merely told her child that a lot of silly/stupid things were written in GA's book.  Hardly a calm or consoling way of answing his legitmate question.  Once again the spin machine is in overdrive as we have an MSM "journalist" putting forward to the general public the notions that:

• one of the McCann children heard GA on the radio making accusations against their mother.  LK ignores the inconvenient fact that GA gives interviews in his native Portuguese but has made her point without regard to the truth of the claims she is repeating.
  
• GA is inept/bungling/vindictive
  
• the McCs must endure a court ordeal and have no choice in the matter
  
• that criticism of the McCs began on the release of GA's book
  

While GA would probably wish to avoid the expense of any further litigation, since Kelly has upped her game with regard to GA perhaps it is time for him to approach the PCC to take up the matter of this type of "reporting", riddled with false statements and downright smears and with the sole purpose of bolstering the image of a British couple.

"could mean that Kate and Gerry never find out what happened to their daughter."
--------------------------------------------------------------

They already KNOW, better than anyone, as KM told us outside of court in Lisbon, what 'happened' to their daughter!

Madeleine WAS 'abducted'!

Although KM has still to confirm that, under oath, in a court room.

Madeleine was 'abducted' by a 'passing' lone predatory, 'paedophile/abductor/burglar who 'jemmied, broke, smashed' the shutter of their unlocked apartment whilst they diliberately left their three children alone, out of sight.

That's what the McCanns have been telling the world for over 7 years, isn't it?

KM 'knew' straight away what had happened to Madeleine, as she has told us many, many, times.

Because she was 'there' and knows more than anyone what 'happened'

And their friend JT actually 'saw' Madeleine being 'abducted' from 50 metres, as KM has told the world, in her sworn statement about what 'happened', because the child, JT 'saw' was wearing the exact same pyjamas as Madeleine was wearing when KM put Madeleine in her bed, on the night of 3rd May 2007..

So quite how 'they may never find out what happened to their daughter' seems a bit odd, imo.

They already KNOW what happened as they have told the whole world they KNOW what happened!

Madeleine 'WAS abducted'!

UNLESS, of course, they only 'think' they know what 'happened' and their 'knowing what happened' is only an unproven hypothesis for them..................  

Lorraine Kelly takes stupid to a whole new level with that article.  Goncalo Amaral didn't say the McCanns were 'somehow involved' in their daughter's disappearance, he was quite specific - she clearly hasn't read his book. 

The McCanns are not being forced to do anything.  They chose, of their own free will, to sue Goncalo Amaral for monetary compensation for telling the truth about the circumstances in which Madeleine disappeared and the truth does not match their fabricated story of abduction.

COMPETITION

Rules

1. Open to D list celebrities and above (to make sure that Lorraine is eligible)
2. Every time a load of s*** is written in favour of the McCann's version of events points are scored / (were scored - backdated)
3. Points are awarded in proportion to the years that have elapsed since 2007 ie 1 point for a load of s*** in 2007 but 7 points for the same load of s*** now.
4. Double points are awarded if a new photo with the McCanns accompanies the article.

Is Lorraine already out of sight?

"That they are now having to go through a court ordeal to have his claims discredited is cruel and unjust."

This last sentence of LK's is an absolute classic of misinformation. They are not having to do anything. They have chosen to do it. It is not an ordeal. It is a trial/hearing. Their purpose is not to have his claims discredited. As the judge reminded us last week, this is not a trial to determine the facts surrounding Madeleine's disappearance. The court will make no judgement on the facts of the case itself. Anyway, according to them, they have already been found innocent by the initial enquiry. It is about the alleged offence and harm that that GA's book may or may not have caused to the complainants and primarily it is about them trying to screw £1.2 m euros out of GA in supposed compensation. To describe a legitimate legal process as "cruel and unjust" is bizarre to say the least.

There is barely a word in this sentence that stands up to scrutiny.

The whole article reads to me like propaganda from some totalitarian regime.

If there is anything wrong with our press that needed to be addressed by Leveson it is this constant manipulation of the truth in order to deliberately misinform and mislead readers not the protection of some celebrity's dodgy tax arrangements or not letting us know who's screwing who.

I'm absolutely disgusted at how a very well paid presenter ( with the responsibilities that implies) shows support for a couple in the midst of an ongoing investigation by 2 police forces. 
I will not watch that woman ever again - because I strongly disagree with what she is doing here. She is showing great disrespect to GA saying that he is 'smearing ' the Mc Canns. He has only ever
presented the facts from his investigation which were agreed by his superiors in Portugal.
I find this totally out of order. I cant even credit her with having an open mind. She seems blatantly unaware of the facts of the case, the information in the files, and has chosen to support publicly
a couple who have not yet been 'cleared'.  I am dismayed at her ignorance.

 "In October last year my son Sean asked me why did Mr. Amaral say that we had hid Madeleine's body. I told him that Mr. Amaral says many silly things"
 "I think he heard it on the radio, in the school bus."



"Sean McCann had heard disgraced Portuguese police officer Goncalo Amaral on the radio claiming that his
mum and dad had faked their daughter's abduction."



The implication from both KM and LK is that Sn Amaral was heard by Sean on the radio speaking English in October 2014. (I doubt Sean is fluent in Portuguese)
I am not aware that GA had done any interviews in English around this time, (has he done any at all?).
GA should be able to confirm this and his lawyer prove to the judge that KM lied under oath.

I don't know much about LK, but I do not understand her motives for her unquestioning support of this couple.

But what worries me is that far from KM learning her lesson that to bring Sean into the public arena to try and turn around a case that was going downhill rapidly was a very wrong thing to do. She is persisting with this. As I doubt that LK would print anything about the MC's without their approval. IMO.

By the time the chinese whispers go around Goncalo Amaral will be on Question Time next spreading malicious gossip.

What a load of tripe. I wonder if it is deliberately provocative to stir things up and see how many ( or few) readers still support the McCanns? I would be surprised if LK really believes the Mcs - unless she is really dim. I presume she is pleasing her paymasters. 

Dragging Kate's son's alleged comments into the media circus is the height of bad taste. In actual fact, it is a lot worse than that. She (and LK) are cynically exploiting one of the Mcs remaining children in order to continue to obfuscate, mislead and evade justice.

Turning the the situation on its head and claiming that it is all the fault of the one person who was actually seeking justice for Madeleine is a rather risible attempt at obfuscation and distortion. A time-honoured technique  
for attempting to whip up misplaced indignation.

Pathetic, really. LM is either as thick as two short planks or a desperate brown-nose with ruthless ambition - perhaps she is hoping to stand as an MP?!

IMO only.

I suspect this 'article' is just an embellished version of a pink press release, containing as it does all the pertinent points of their nearly non-existent case as plaintiffs. This kind of tripe might persuade an unthinking Sun reader (surely there can't be that many left?) But it certainly has not persuaded the judge which is all that really matters.

Oh I think you may be pretty close there on all points (except the last).   Here's an amusing sketch of LK as an assassin...  that perhaps makes the points even better...

How come this garbage is allowed to be printed as fact. I haven't lived in the UK for a few years now although I. Read papers online have lost touch as to how the MSM works now. Surely a columnist can't be allowed to write lies. 

As an aside in a previous life I had the misfortune to meet Miss Kelly (work related) and with the exception of Clarence the clown (also work related) I have never met such a fake person. She would say what she thought you wanted to hear and turn in an instant if she thought it furthered her ambitions. YUK

One more question. Do these articles get sent to Dr Amaral?

*snipped*

Sounds like she's going by the msm, and has not bothered herself with the facts at all, too lazy to find the truth and I'd love to watch her read the facts. This should not even be allowed because maddie has not been found and for all she knows they could be charged with accidental death, manslaughter or murder. Most importantly neglect, does lk agree with child endangerment? IMO

Kelly obviously believes the McCanns reckless endangerment of three toddlers 5 nights in a row, is just a wee error of judgment.  Luckily for little ones' everywhere, most parents would vehemently disagree!

It's disgusting that they left them, I have a 12,9 and a 6yr old and wait til the oh comes home from work before I shower, life is precious, they're my world and ANYTHING can happen in seconds, I choose to protect and not neglect them for a shower never mind wining and dining with friends! IMO

Another thing, the people who are actually wanting the truth for maddie aka haters I think it's called, well these haters HAVE gone to the trouble of reading the police files which state the facts, the ones that have studied this thoroughly with what is available on the files. If the mcs really do want to find maddie then perhaps they should read the book instead of snippets which friends pass to them. We care about what happened to maddie, maybe the people who believe the mcs should look into the police files and see what way they feel then.
Just my thoughts and IMO

Surely we have good grounds to refer LK's slanderously inaccurate ravings, and those of the MSM in general, to some press complaints body?
Just as the Advertising Standards authority can condemn stuff for not being decent truthful and honest, so should poor Dr Amaral, who has neither been "disgraced" nor has he "bungled" ... except in one thing.
He should have resisted from the outset the high level British political and diplomatic attempts to pervert the course of justice in Portugal in 2007.
He himself soon realised that his initial kind and sympathetic treatment of the gang of 9 got the better of his judgement as a detective. But by the time it fully dawned on him  it was too late. His innate goodness had been cynically abused by the real
F***** T*****s.

And for that, he is more to be pitied than blamed. IMHO
