Just found this link on facebook and thought it might be useful for when Dr Amaral starts suing people.

Many thanks to Winnower for compiling this shocking and sickening list.

  • 418 articles: "disgraced, disgraceful, disgrace" (Examples)

  • 440 articles: "outrage, outrageous" etc.

  • 23 articles: "Keystone cops" (or Kops) (or Keystone cretins)  ("Keystone" cops has been used by English speaking people to describe bumbling or inept cops; based on old movies of the Keystone Cops.  Extremely insulting articles.)
     

  • 42 articles: "Goncalo Amaral" and "lunch"  (includes all the "boozy lunch" "two hour lunch" etc. Many accuse him of "boozy three hour lunches" etc.  Why is it newsworthy that a man eats lunch?)

  • 45 articles: "inept" 
  • 220 articles: "sacked" or "fired"  (Note: Amaral was TRANSFERRED off the Maddie case and then chose to quit.)

  • 49 articles: "hampered" "hampering" "hindered" "hindering" (the investigation);

  • 43 articles: "outburst" (regarding his statement re: McCanns and the British police)

The most recent example of the outrageous treatment of Dr. Amaral is the BBC broadcast claiming he had said "F*** the McCanns".  Native Portuguese claim that Amaral actually said "'Não, força aos McCanns" "Ask the McCanns" in response to a reporter's questions.  (GONCALO AMARAL DOES NOT SPEAK ENGLISH -  a fact widely reported.) 

UPDATE:


ECU Ruling: East Midlands Today, BBC1 (East Midlands), 

12 January 2011

Publication date: 30 May 2011

Complaint
The programme included a brief exchange between a reporter and
Gonçalo Amaral (a former policeman who had worked on the
disappearance of Madeleine McCann and had since written a book on
the case). One word in the exchange was bleeped, and the report gave
the impression that this was because Sr Amaral had used offensive
language about the MrCanns. A viewer complained that this was
inaccurate and unfair to Sr Amaral.

Outcome
The reporter’s belief, reinforced by others on the programme team
who viewed the recording, was that Sr Amaral had indeed used an
English phrase which included an offensive term applied to the
McCanns. On further examination, however, it became clear that Sr
Amaral had been speaking Portuguese, and that an inoffensive phrase
had been misconstrued. Upheld

Further action
The Editor of the programme has discussed the outcome with the
producer and reporter involved. In future, the team plans to use
interpreters if clips from interviews are unclear.

I believe the Portuguese used by Gonçalo Amaral was "Fala aos McCanns". Falar, to speak, i.e. Speak to the McCanns.
Can one of our Portuguese posters help here, whether it was 'força' or 'fala'.
It makes little difference, in that Gonçalo does not speak English, and has without fail, shown himself at all times to be so much of a gentleman, that he would not even think of using an English swear word against the McCs.
Many thanks however to Winnower and Admin for compiling and presenting this most valid information/reference.

I agree.

I also hope it's clear that Brenda Leyland was called a vile troll, fecked up bitch etc. and she's now dead just days after being doorstepped by Brunt and having her face plastered on Sky News every fifteen minutes for an entire day.

I for one can scarcely believe that this expression was used by a columnist in a supposed "newspaper" to describe anybody. Carole Malone really is a pathetic excuse for a human being, never mind a journalist.

I think we ought to add "MONSTER" to Winnower`s list, as so charmingly published by Antonella Lazzeri. 

Goncalo could rake in millions purely from defamation suits.

Indeed, the use of terms like 'vile' and 'sick' is particularly out of proportion. These words are usually used about people like child murderers and paedophiles. It's 'vile', apparently, to call attention to the dogs or the Portuguese police files, but it's quite OK to use terms like those above if anyone questions the McCanns. Well, personally I've never seen anything online about the McCanns that is as bad as the insults directed against Amaral and Brenda Leyland.

Many thanks however to Winnower and Admin for compiling and presenting this most valid information/reference.

"Fala" ("talk to") aos McCann ("to the McCann) was the phrase of Mr. Amaral - meaning, "ask that to the McCann". "Fala" (from the verb "falar" - "to talk"), has the first "a" pronounced in a high and open tone, the second "a" on a lower tone. There is another word, in Portuguese, with is much more similar, in terms of sounding, to the expression "f**k": "faca", meaning "knife", also with a high accent in the first "a", a very low tone in the second "a" and the "c" pronounced ust like a "k". This one is really difficult for a English speaking person not to take it as if the Portuguese person saying that is insulting him...

I had a similar "problem" in Macau, China. The equivalent to "f**k", in Camtonese, is "tio", with the "o" pronounced on a down and lower tone. The Portuguese word for "uncle" is "tio". There is no difference, at all, in the sound and pronunciation. So, sometimes, when I went out with my brother and nephews, and they told me: "Tio' ("uncle"), look at this, or buy me a ice cream", the Chinese around us looked with some surprise, to hear a small child using a so bad word while talking to one adult...
