Is SKY NEWS making a film about Madeleine McCann? - Report from Richard D Hall's meeting in Nottingham last night (1 April)

A McCann-sceptic unfamiliar with Richard Hall's work attended his meeting in Nottingham last night - part of his three-week nationwide tour.

He described the meeting as 'packed to overflowing'. During the first part of the meeting, Hall spoke about the Madeleine McCann case, and showed a short trailer from his new film. He asked the audience if anyone had heard of Wojcek Krokowski. No hands went up.  

But also of interest was news brought by a latecomer to the meeting who suddenly shouted out: "There's a SKY News team filming outside and they want to talk to you, Richard".

Hall apparently explained that he thought that a film crew might turn up, said he knew about them, and said he was not co-operating with them.

Sure enough, my informant tells me that he saw a female journalist, a cameraman and another person outside the venue filming, and talking to people out on the street.


Now, when I heard this, my mind immediately wandered to Sonia Poulton's forthcoming (?) documentary.

I remembered that Rosalinda Hutton/Cristobell had blurted out that Sonia had been 'commissioned' by a TV company to make a film about Madeleine - but wouldn't say by whom.

I also remembered that Sonia Poulton tweeted that she wanted a McCann-sceptic who would volunteer to talk to the media, promising that the newspaper concerned was willing to cover the facts of the case.

Then I remembered that within minutes of that tweet, Hutton had volunteered, then Poulton accepted her (without trying to get anyone else) - and the end result was that appalling article in Rupert Murdoch's Sun in which Hutton admitted, indeed boasted, that she was an 'anti-McCann bitch who got a 'buzz' from attacking other people'.

I also brought to mind that THREE TIMES in recent months Sonia Poulton has been invited by Rupert Murdoch's SKY News to pontificate about her generally 'airhead' views about this and that on SKY News' early morning chat shows.

I also recalled a recent photo released by Sonia Poulton of her and a cameraman - taken obviously by a third person - right outside the McCanns' front door - and I wondered how that was possible, given the McCanns' elaborate security arrangements.

So finally I asked myself: what was a SKY News team doing outside Richard Hall's talk in Nottingham?

Were they:

(a) persuaded by Richard Hall's previous film on Madeleine that there were hidden 'truths' about the case that desperately needed reporting?     

OR

(b) preparing a major hatchet job - maybe with Sonia Poulton's co-operation - on the many McCann-sceptics who discuss the case on the internet?

Tony, very interesting article and I suspiciously suspect option (B). IMO only !

Tony, I know some of the people involved with the making of Sonia Poultons documentary.
I can assure you that you are totally wrong in thinking that there is any attempt of a hatchet
job on the McCann sceptics as far as Sonia is concerned. Completely the opposite infact.

Speaking of 'SKY' news:

Has Sky News, or their senior crime correspondent, MB, 'done' anything on the Madeleine 'story' SINCE BL?

MB, has 'availed' himself, in a private conversation, with BL, 'off camera' and KNOWS, exactly, what her 'views' were about the McCanns,

He knows what BL was 'railing' against, re the McCanns about their private 'fund' and their child 'provisions' in May 2007.

Has MB, will MB, ever make 'public', via Sky News, BL's 'concerns?

He 'owes' her that, surely?

No matter, how 'nutty or not' he thinks BL's 'views' were. (or not?)

MB 'knows' what BL 'said', has he even given HER 'views' a seconds thought, since then?

If somebody told me something, i'd certainly 'think about' what that person 'said' and not 'dismiss' it 'out of hand' (if indeed that is what MB has 'done')

Not forgetting, the Sky News, 'camera man' was ALSO at the 'private' conversation.

WHAT does he 'think'.................NOW?

(won't be holding my breath, that MB, or Sky News, WILL, voice, publicly, BL's 'concerns')

Sky News, MB, too 'busy' arranging an 8th 'anniversary' SPECIAL, about the child the McCanns, diliberately and consciously, left alone, in an unlocked apartment, abroad...........probably!

Would YOU care then to 'name' the person, who will be 'named', by SP, as a 'shocking' revelation, to us all, (the prolific 'poster') as the person, in whose 'interest', it IS, SP has said, to 'maintain' the 'abduction' scenario/theory?

eta: re SP

"but it's very interesting, because with modern technology, we've quite legally and legitmately, we've been able to trace these people, who are sending quite awful smeary things about myself and my loved ones, so we will be going after them for this documentary because these people need to be revealed, we will also, we've also now traced somebody whose involved with the campaign, of maintaining the abduction theory. Somebody who was very prolific online and it's somebody who will SHOCK people, and we have traced that person, and THAT person, WILL be revealed in the documentary."

Her 'words', not mine.

1. Which TV company commissioned Sonia Poulton to do this documentary?

2. Why did Sonia Poulton promise in her tweet that the newspaper concerned (who wanted to talk to a genuine McCann-doubter) would give an opportunity for the person chosen to talk about the facts of this case - when this was clearly untrue

3. Why did Sonia Poulton immediately accept Rosalinda Hutton's offer to collaborate and refuse offers from other people to take part?     

4. Does Sonia Poultion recognise the obvious - that the two-page Sun feature on Hutton was unmitigatingly bad publicity for the cause of the McCann-doubters?

5. When is Sonia Poulton's documentary coming out?

Many thanks

Who were the camera crew from Sky? Did no-one give a description of them? If it were Poulton it would be easy to recognise.

I have made enquiries - and apparently the journalist was one JENNY KLEEMAN

I'm sure he would have 'talked' to her, had he known, who it was.

Hope he does, shortly.

I went to see RH last week, and believe me he is not so glowing about JK

Kleeman doesn't impress me.

I AM 'allowed' to, am i not?

I also 'like' Darshna Soni, at Channel 4.

Anything 'wrong' with her?

Jeeez!

Information reaches me that Channel 4 are preparing a film provisionally called 'Trolling' which is to be aired later this spring.

Further information suggests that they tried filming in the Leicestershire village of Burton Overy, where Brenda Leyland lived until hounded to death by Martin Brunt and his boss Jonathan Levy and assorted vicious pro-McCann Twitter trolls. Apparently the entire village blanked the Channel 4 team and refused to co-operate with them.

Now this seems to be a different venture from the one that Jenny Kleeman is engaged on, as that one appears to be more focussed on Madeleine McCann.

I am not sure now which of the two Sonia Poulton might be involved with - or perhaps neither if 'interestedobserver' is right.

@ jeanmonroe    I have had a quick look at Jenny Kleeman's website: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and I would cheerfully concede that judging by those clips that she's put up, she has secured some very interesting and informative interviews with people.

But there are those stories that the mainstream media allow journalists to cover, and there are those that the mainstream media won't let them touch with a 10-foot bargepole.

How likely is it, for example, that Kleeman might be researching a documentary/article exposing all the dark antics of the McCanns' private investigators?  



ETA:  The poster 'Richard IV' has directed us to where Richard Hall (on CMOMM) has already mentioned Jenny Kleeman. Here is what he said:

QUOTE

I was approached by a journalist acting for the Guardian the other day. They are preparing an article (probably hit piece) on the fact that people do not think the media are asking the right questions in relation to the McCanns. They were desperate to get me on camera to make comments. They refused to agree to my conditions, which were mainly that they show me the piece before it airs so I can check it for accuracy - so I did not give them an interview. I suspect they are planning a hit piece on the "beliefs" of those who have found information on the internet about the McCann case. The journalist is Jenny Kleeman.

MAYBE she is!

just an 'aside' Mr Bennett, Could you please address Jenny Kleeman with 'title', either Mrs Kleeman, or Jenny Kleeman, not just 'Kleeman'

And the same 'curtesy' extended to, when addressing 'posts' about DCI Nicola Wall.

Thankyou.

Not me!

Maybe Mrs Kleeman will 'surprise' us all!

I would like to know when SP's docu. is going to get an airing.   It's been a long time and still nothing.  

I have boycotted Sky news since the atrocious behaviour involving Brenda so I will not be watching the docu. if it has anything to do with Sky but I will be reading this forum to see what it's all about.

IMO if it is going to be done for Sky we can expect the pro Maddie questioners to be shown as trolls and nutters.

I would like to be pleasantly surprised to find I am wrong, but I wont be holding my breath.

I believe these journos are waiting to hear the result of the action in Portugal and whether Rocky has won or not.

Tony B.........I think the correct spelling of    Wojcech Krokowski   is  Wojciech Krokowski.

Sonia is genuine

How do you know Noddy?   If you are in the know, maybe you can tell us when the docu. will be aired?

I am not in the know re the documentary

In that case Jean, please extend the same 'curtesy' to ex-DCI Redwood and stop calling him Deadwood.

The jury is still out on Sonia for me.

I think we should wait until she actually does something.

Er, she has...

1...given a platform on Icke TV to self-seeking madman Stephen D Birch

2...backed the cruel 'Hollie Demands Justice' group, which insists that member here Sylvia Major and 30 others are paedophiles who serially raped Hollie Greig at locations across north-east Scotland for 14 years from the age of 6 to 20

3...given a platform to Robert Green of the Hollie Demands Justice group whilst refusing to give a platform to those telling the truth about Anne Greig's campaign of vengeance and lies

4...arranged for the Sun newspaper, Britain's most popular, to feature Rosalinda Hutton over two pages, describing how she was an 'anti-McCann bitch' who got a 'buzz' out of attacking others.


I am aware that I have made some mistakes in trying to analyse this case.

I also believe anyone should be given a fair chance.

But the above record is IMO a truly terrible record if we are looking at Poulton's ability to even understand what is true and what is not

I'm with Tony on this one. Poulton has yet to demonstrate one iota of professionalism. She is well known for viciously attacking anyone who dares question her and positively delights in trolling and encouraging her thug boyfriend when he does it accompanied by a picture of himself with a large sub machine gun. I have no time for the so called hard core pros however reading the account from the one who bravely attended Brenda's inquest alone, Poulton's account and subsequent crowing and bullying of this lady on Twitter was nothing short of disgusting. I also will believe it when I see it re the documentary. If nothing else she is a hypocrite by taking the coin from Murdoch. It could play out in three ways. Either Sky are ready to turn on the Mccanns and using her as the conduit (she hardly has a dazzling career to lose if it backfires) or, it will be a hatchet job on those who question the abduction mantra a la the Hutton interview. Thirdly she will use it to portray herself as a fearless warrior fighting for the truth who has been personally attacked. This is just my observation of her usual m o. You have to ask, have you ever seen a 'respected' journalist tweet her every move and engage in online attacks, inciting the weak and easily led to do the same? Whatever way, unless Murdoch has tired of supporting Kate & Gerry and wants a new angle to increase interest and profits, Poulton's offering will be no more than another You Tube 'sensation'.

snook wrote: I have no time for the so called hard core pros however reading the account from the one who bravely attended Brenda's inquest alone, Poulton's account and subsequent crowing and bullying of this lady on Twitter was nothing short of disgusting.

I fully agree with all of the above (and with the rest of your post) @ snook.  

Whatever our views on the hounding to death of Brenda Leyland, an Inquest is an occasion for dignity and respect to be shown for the deceased - and her family. 

One of the four others who attended with Poulton had to be pulled up in the Inquest for constant audible muttering - not good.

But to pounce on a fellow attendee outside the door of the Inquest, with a camera in her face, shouting abuse, and then to brag about this deed on the internet, was indeed 'disgusting' - and brought those expressing concern about Brenda Leyland's fate, and how it came about, into disrepute.

It is only matched by such crass stunts as the video of her screeching at the top of her voice 'mass murderer!', 'mass murderer!' as Iain Duncan-Smith and Esther McVey walk into the House of Commons.

I also think that @ snook makes some very pertinent observations on Sonia Poulton's relationship with the Murdoch empire - appearing on Murdoch's SKY regularly, arranging the 'Cristobell' debacle in Murdoch's Sun etc. etc.

Stalker :)

I have tweeted Jenny for a few years because I like her documentary work, especially for Channel 4 Despatches. I have asked her why the likes of herself and other freelancers stay away from the McCann case.

Now she wanted to do an interview on video with myself on the topic of: "Growing number of people that believe the media isn't telling the real story of M McCann".

Not an indepth interview on the aspects of the case, but the general feeling of why people like myself feel the way we do about the Main Stream Media's biased coverage. 

All sounds great, yeah? Sounds plausible? 

I immediately asked the following questions:

1) Who was funding the documentary? ... Ans: The Guardian

2) Where will this 'docu' be broadcast? ... Ans: The Guardian website

3) Are you planning on tricking /portraying people like myself in bad light, like Brenda Leyland? ... Ans: No, the film is about people who think the media haven't asked the right questions.

4) Why are you doing this now, at this time? ... Ans: I've been getting lots of tweets from people wanting me to do this.


Now, I was considering this because I've got nothing to hide.  I use my real name and use my real identity etc and I have never crossed any line of legality towards anyone when outing my feelings on the case.   However ... an alarm bell rang:

A) The Guardian were the only UK newspaper to to accept Leveson recommendations 

B) Hacked Off also want Leveson recommendations pushed through and are friendly with The Guardian

C) Gerry McCann was allowed to write an article in The Guardian around the time of the Brenda Leyland tragedy

So the Jenny Kleeman / Guardian / Hacked Off / Leveson / Gerald McCann connection is evident.


However, Jenny may be 100% genuine in her reasoning for wanting to interview ordinary folk on opinion of why MSM are not asking the right questions.  I deep down hope she is genuine, because I like her and the work she does.  But why is The Guardian willing to fund her and her crew to travel 100s of miles to interview myself and probably others?

It also crossed my mind that this was a planned Team McCann counteraction to Sonia Poulton's documentary or Richard D. Halls.

It also crossed my mind that Jenny also is a regular for the newspaper review on Sky News and of course there is the Gamble, Brunt connection.

As I said, I hope Jenny is doing this for the right reasons, but reading the fact that Jenny was stalking outside of Richard D. Hall's gig and not allowing him to see the final version of any agreed interview suggests something is not quite right.

Needless to say, I will refuse to get involved.

Look what happened to Cristobel.
There is NO WAY on this Earth any MSM will allow negative opinions of McCanns.
Knowing that and also she wouldnt allow Richard to see what would be "aired" sets off more alarm bells than a fire station.
Never volunteer to deal with the Press, they will stitch you up like a kipper. And this stinks of one.
