RIP BRENDA LEYLAND (SWEEPYFACE)

RIP BRENDA LEYLAND (SWEEPYFACE)

http://cristobell.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/rip-brenda-leyland-sweepyface.html#comment-form

So Sky's rolling news day on McCann trolls has resulted in the death of Brenda Leyland (Sweepyface) a middle aged lady angered by the lies of Gerry and Kate McCann. Seven years on, despite being suspects in the eyes of the rest of the world, in the UK they are still being treated like victims and being compensated financially.  No amount of money will satisfy Gerry and Kate, they have had over £4m, they also want the Laws to be changed so their crimes will never be reported.  We have had a news blackout in the UK for the past 7 years.  Why?

The McCanns didn't have any threats against them or their children.  Their witness claimed this in the Lisbon libel trial, but could not substantiate it.  Several months on, no-one has been arrested or charged for threatening the McCanns.  A bit like the abductor.

The biggest threat they could find to the McCanns was poor old Brenda, an obviously shy, timid lady who clearly presented no danger to the McCanns whatsoever.  But she was to be the scapegoat, the face of the cruel campaign against an innocent family.  She was the line of least resistance - had they doorstepped any of the more outspoken among us, we would have given them an interview they couldn't broadcast, on the hour, every hour, etc without Carter Ruck jumping down their throats - now re-employed by McCanns it seems and kerchinging nicely. 

Did Martin Brunt threaten her? If so, what with?  He had pretty much done the worst thing imaginable, but it clearly left her in great fear.  She fled from her village.  More doorstepping perhaps?  Her past raked up?  Did she have mental health issues?  Did any of her family?  Was she a vulnerable adult in any way? Surely Sky News would not have carried out such a catastrophic public attack without making a few basic checks? 

Were the McCanns going to go after her financially, as they have done with Goncalo Amaral, demand that she sell her house?  Was she facing threats of financial ruin? How could a regular person stand up to Carter Ruck? Her limited 'I thought I was entitled to' - portrayed her as ignorant, but what else did she say when she took the crew inside her house?

What did the police say to her?  Afaik, she was not arrested or cautioned, but did they give her a 'stern' taking to? And how stern was that talk?  Normal people with no criminal record or dealings with the police would be terrified. What Laws did Brenda break, if any?  Lets hope the police taped their interviews with her, if I were her family, I would demand they be revealed at the Inquest - and there should definitely be an Inquest.

However, Jim Gamble's hope of using 'outing' as a device to stop people asking questions about the McCanns, or indeed anything, has spectacularly backfired.  The consequences of such sinister threats have become all too apparent.  I would imagine legal talks are frantically underway as we speak, Sky News cannot just brush this off, they must at the very least, issue an apology to Brenda's family.  No Court in the world (maybe N.Korea or UK under McCann Rule) would have found Brenda guilty of anything.  If worse tweeters exist, then why didn't Sky go after them, why go after a fragile, quiet lady in a pretty village, who clearly posed no threat to the McCanns whatsoever.  The cynic in me pictures the McCanns looking up the property prices as one reason, but more likely the subliminal message was 'it could be you'.  There were threatening undertones in that news report, and more than a tinge of cruelty in the way the story was reported.  They couldn't hide their glee at exposing a respectable middle aged lady as a vicious internet troll to all her friends, family and neighbours. It was pitchforking at its very worst.

However, any gleeful thoughts Gamble and McCanns may have of outing people on a regular basis must now be treated with the seriousness it deserves, as Brenda's tragic death has proved.  The punishment Brenda received (based on no evidence) was way beyond anything a Court could have dished out.  It seemed more like payback, than a genuine news story,  Her face, and home, was broadcast every hour, on the hour, as she was publically labelled as a 'Hater', continually hounding the family of Madeleine McCann.  She wasn't.  She was angry at this blatant miscarriage of justice as many are.  Nothing she did deserved the kind of punishment she received.  The death of a child is always emotive, especially when those charged to uphold the law appear to be covering it up. Sky News acted as Judge, Jury and Executioner.  Brenda is dead because of what she was accused of, not because of what she did.  She probably said a lot more in that Sky interview than 'I thought I was entitled to', but will we ever know?  They wanted to label her as evil, and they did.
 
Brenda, bless her, knowingly or unknowingly, may well set off a chain of events that will bring about the final downfall of the McCanns and their minions.   Jim Gamble and the McCanns wanted to use her as an example of what will happen to anyone criticising them, but her suicide has turned the tables.  Now they have to justify what they have done to her.

It's a perfectly valid question; what did Martin Brunt say to Mrs B Leyland behind closed doors?

I believe Mrs L stood by her convictions,
Personally I do not believe she committed suicide
She has a son who is learning law

She would have consulted with him

My belief is

Someone TOOK her life..

When confronted by the BULLPIG MB Mrs Leyland stood her ground and then was polite and dignified enough to invite the TROLL aka martin brunt into her home... within 48 hours she is DEAD.?????????????????

I didn't know the lady, but no way will I buy into suicide.
MIB sings
 to mind
WHY DID SHE check into a hotel SO close to her home? I rekon she was meeting someone and if someone dares to say the CCTV wasn't working on that day they are going to set themselves up for a whole lot of angst!!

Im sure the police will take a statement from him.

Burglars that cause the indirect death, eg heart attack, of their victims get charged with manslaughter - the stress of the incident lead to death. In this case Mrs Leyland was forced to leave her home...that's just the starters.

What a horrific event. I hope her son goes to the bottom of this. Even if it was a natural death the bullying of the McCann camp surely was a contributing factor, ask Gerry he should know (not that I have any confidence in his knowledge.).

I'm shocked.

I'm sure they won't. They've said the death is not regarded as suspicious so that's the end of it as far as they're concerned.

What we don't know is:

Was Brenda (a current hot media story) "tracked down" to her hotel?

Brenda was unfortunatley an easy target and I think perhaps one of the main reasons she was targetted was that she lived a reasonably close distance to the McCanns .

No doubt had events not taken the turn that they did this would have been spun in the following days . I can imagine the headlines now .... troll could have been at McCann residence in less than 20 minutes .  or the troll who lived just down the road etc etc .

I think that was the main reason and  the MSM could have really gone for the kate and Gerry living in fear line when in reality Brenda was just your average middle aged lady like thousands of others asking questions about this case . Pictures I have seen of her show her as a caring Mum and animal lover just like millions of other people across the planet.

I have seen horrendous tweets directed at the McCanns , Brendas tweets do not come into that category . However I suspect many of the worst offenders actually live abroad or in the more remote areas of the UK so it would be pointless targetting those as the press could not have spun the story in the same way . 

American troll could have been at Mccans in 14 hours or troll who lived thousands of miles away just doesnt have the same impact does it .

so sad and for what 

If the McCanns were really living in fear surely the would have changed their identities by now or at the very least moved house . Instead they parade themselves on any platform they can almost as if they are A listers . Even real celebrities take a back seat if they feel they are in any danger.

suspiciou or not, the police should question brunt to try to establish if he said something to her in that private meeting that made her commit suicide.

What you think the police should do is irrelevant. They have washed their hands of it and it's now up to the coroner who will no doubt be under pressure to ensure that there is a verdict of suicide caused by her guilt at being caught out ring a vile troll.

I'm not having a go, just calling it as I see.

Surely she was followed to the hotel?

That's what the media does isn't it?

I thought someone said the Police were investigating.

Leics police have said: 'Officers acting on behalf of the Coroner will look into the circumstances surrounding and prior to her unexpected death.'

thank you

Leicestershire Police.

Hmmm....

How thorough and above board can we expect any investigation to be?

Just wondering aloud.

heard at one stage yesterday ,that brunty went into her house envited and after talk he came away with her phone no and they decided to keep in touch ? please tell me someone else has seen or read this ?joyce1938

Just been having a read through the comments on the Daily Mail article. My goodness, it really is disheartening to see the level of ignorance out there about the whole McC case amongst the British public.

People are so quick to disparage Brenda Leyland based on Brunt's despicable reports and the following sundry tabloid articles. Sheeple who are self righteously discussing this so called 'trolling', are without irony being faceless bullies themselves. Trolling a woman's death, it is beyond stupid.

I thought someone said the Police were investigating.

The police constabulary is Leicestershire - same constabulary involved in the McCann case with the co-ordinating remit to be the interface between the UK and PJ.

At the same time as the launch of S&S 'blockbuster' Jim Gamble makes excuses/observations that the UK police/other agencies involvement as 'too eager to help' and lacking in central co-ordination (something like that).

Summers & Swan release their book which is serialised in the Sun. Gamble also appears in the Sun's serialisation of the book.

Gamble seems to think there was no co-ordinating authority but in fact it was Leicestershire Police who had quite a cosy relationship with the McCanns and invited Gerald to their incident room. Gamble calls for something of an 'uber' agency to be set up in case this sort of thing happens again.

Martin Brunt stands outside Leicestershire constabulary in front of their signage covered in cobwebs to do his report.

Not long afterwards....

A 'dossier' is handed to Scotland Yard by 'concerned members of the public'.

Sky News doorstepped a Leicestershire resident and she dies - circumstances of her death have not yet been released.

Now it might just be a coincidence but there seems to be only two locations in UK - it's either London or Leicestershire - it's either Leicestershire Police or Scotland Yard!

It will be Leicestershire Police with the eye of those seeking justice for Brenda Leyland upon it.

Just my opinion of course.

I have heard the same Joyce however I have not seen any official verification that it is true .

Thanks frostie for your reply ,I had begun to wonder if I had imagined it ? not likely really ,but as you say not been confirmed yet  joyce1938

There has to be a full and proper coroner's inquiry into this. No ifs, but, maybes, just do it. Having said that I wouldn't trust Leicestershire Constabulary to investigate why someone broke wind in a curry house.

Remember that Leicestershire Police placed a hitherto unknown/unprecedented gagging order on those involved with Madeleine's case...you know, that 'belt and bracers' approach sort of thing.

Leicestershire police??? You mean the one who "call me Stu" works for???
The ones who had a link button to the McCanns fraudulent fund???
The ones who sat on the Gaspar statements for months on end instead of handing it over to the Portuguese police???

I don't hold out much hope for an independent investigation.
