Sonia Poulton on Murdoch's SKY News AGAIN - today (4 April 2015)

The Sky Debate with... Sonia Poulton!

Yes folks, its everyone's favourite polymath and guru on everything... again!  This time she was introduced as Our Social Affairs Commentator: one of two participants (the other was journalist Petrie Hoskin) in

The Sky Debate.
'Why do teenagers lack confidence'

A report on teenagers and lack of confidence has just been published.  Sonia read it with great interest as she has a teenage daughter. Petrie has a teenage son. Petrie's contribution was straightforward and sensible.
From Sonia we learned the following:

'We have to look at the fact that society has changed.'
'Its a big age range between 11 and 24'
She, Sonia, has studied psychology and 'it', psychology, should be 'taught at primary school'.
'The brain is an amazing piece of equipment'... Then there was a half-uttered piece about 'moulding brains' next that I'm not quite sure I understood... etc etc etc

Do others listen carefully to the precise content of what she says... or claims?  If so, why is she on the box at all? 
It puzzles me.

Thank you very much for the news, @ comperedna

Let's review: Madeleine McCann, Rupert Murdoch and Sonia Poulton: The Story So Far

1. Madeleine McCann disappeared 3 May 2007

2. Within days, Tony Blair's chief spin doctor Clarence Mitchell appointed 

3. Murdoch's Sun, News of the World and SKY News are the worst offenders in promoting ridiculous stories about 'sightings' of Madeleine

4. Sep 2008, Clarence Mitchell stops working full-time for the McCanns - gets job at Freud Communications working for Rupert Murdoch's son-in-law Matthew Freud

5. 2009 David Cameron meets Rupert Murdoch on his Mediterranean yacht - they strike a deal: 'You get me BSkyB, I'll get my papers to switch to your party'. It all works out very well 

6. Cameron appoints Murdoch man, former editor of the NOTW, as his Director of Communications  

7. 2010 Cameron appoints Clarence Mitchell as his Deputy Director of Communications - wins General Election

8. 2007-2011 Murdoch papers continue to print utter rubbish about 'sightings' of Madeleine McCann and various assorted suspects  

9. 2011 Kate McCann writes book, Murdoch paper the Sun serialises it 

10. Same week, Murdoch's News International CEO Rebekah Brooks threatens David Cemeron - Operation Grange set up 

11. 2012-3 Enter Sonia Poulton, airs three rubbish interviews on Icke's TPV re Madeleine McCann - Birch, Shrimpton, S-W-M-N-B-N - sacked by Icke - promises documentary about him - doesn't for so-called 'legal reasons'

12. Brenda Leyland hounded to death by Murdoch's SKY News 4 Oct 2014   
  
13. Three days later: Poulton does YouTube video: "I'm going to make a doc about Brenda'

14. Poulton alliance with S-W-M-N-B-N - both attack CMOMM

15. Poulton's Christmas vid 'I'm going to make a doc about Madeleine McCann' - promises and promises not fulfilled, but: 'I will make doc after Leyland Inquest'

16. Poulton attends Leyland Inquest - tarnishes the Inquest by ruthlessly hounding an attendee with a microphone and camera outside the very door of the building 

17. More unfulfilled promises about a Madeleine documentary - Christmas promotional video pulled 

18. Starts to appear regularly on Rupert Murdoch's SKY News sofa despite claims she is outraged at how they hounded Brenda Leyland to death and that she has the 'Untold Story' of Madeleine McCann to tell

19. Suddenly invited on all sorts of media as 'Social Affairs Commentator' 

20. Gets S-W-M-N-B-N to make a fool of all McCann-sceptics in Murdoch's the Sun

21. Poulton openly boasts about door-stepping Kate McCann, with two cameramen in tow - no-one in the mainstream media breathes a word of criticism about this 

22. Poulton publicly refers to CMOMM s a 'cess-pit' on Twitter

23. Poulton on Murdoch's sofa again today, 23 September 2015.


To paraphrase Rolf Harris: 'Can anyone tell what's going on yet..?'

The problem seems to be that there is an assumption that the Tapas groups inconsistencies and behaviors means they are guilty of the removal of Madeleine. This is not necessarily true, it simply means that they are guilty of telling lies to cover themselves from 'something'. but what??...neglect and thus any form of prosecution arising from this.

The McCanns, Redwood and basically everyone knows/knew that right from day 1 Madeleine died in the apartment. IMO the reason why OG do not consider them suspects is because they know where the McCanns were (at the tapas restaurant) as the events unfolded. I also suspect they have additional evidence on file which would lead them to this conclusion.

IMO the only reason the McCanns continue the lie about searching for her alive, is to keep death by neglect charges at bay and to keep the money rolling in. The reason there has been no reconstruction of the night with the tapas group is IMO due to there being no point in reconstructing lies, it's a waste of time (until a case of neglect is brought, but that would only happen when a body is found or the guilty party confesses).

Anyway, in the meantime, the only reasons i can see for the likes of Poulton and various other people to be getting involved in this case, is purely for self promotion. Its a big audience and sparks debate, so a great leg up into the limelight. The other reason of course is that it gives the family and others someone else to point the finger at as a troll/supporter/potential court case revenue.

Not sure if I understand you correctly but are you saying that the McCanns are only guilty of 'something' ( neglect ? )   which the OG is  aware of and thus is prepared to keep the 'something'  secret whilst hunting  for the real guilty people? Is this   what a genuine enquiry would do?  If so,  the OG team has really left itself open to ridicule ..............................which thinking about it,  it has, so maybe you're right.  To be honest if it was simply a matter of being prosecuted for neglect ( which let's face it, would never have happened ) I would ditch the lies in the interests  of finding my child and damn the consequences.

'lazzerli-lies-in-the-sun' is brilliant and well worth a visit to the site. Sonia Poulton? Jumping on the bandwagon comes to mind and for anyone to think we are ' FEARFUL ' of her ..............................dream on. Talk about overestimating your abilities!

Yes, OG/PJ and all other forces are aware of their guilt of neglect, as are that majority of the general public. OG are not looking at the parents as suspects (rightly or wrongly).

The reason why they are all letting this carry on even though they know the parents are guilty of neglect is because the PJ would be pushing for death by neglect, a much heftier charge. These charges cannot be pressed until there is either a cadaver, or they get a confession from/enough evidence to prosecute the guilty party.

The McCanns have to keep up the pretense she is still alive and the tapas group have to all maintain they were all checking their kids, else they are all in the dock, hence the 'pact of silence'.

The safest place the McCanns can sit is in the "Someone took her, alive, in a 3 minute window of opportunity" seat. No neglect, public sympathy and ultimately ££££££ for everyone.

If they "ditch the lies" as you suggest, they are immediately vilified by everyone and guilty of neglect at the very least.

But of course the cunning DCI Andy Redwood on the BBC Crimewatch McCann show widened the '3-minute window' to 50 minutes by producing his fake 'Crecheman'.

That gives him 50 whole minutes to invent some fable with which to end this charade

I believe the single purpose of this was to discredit Jane Tanner to the public once and for all, in the nicest possible manner (even though her statements and most of what fell out of her mouth were discredited very early on by various forces). She can now slope off into the shadows without being the subject of attention and question, whilst putting a stop to her wasting every ones time and effort.

Crecheman is IMO a complete fake. It does not take that long for a person to come forward, especially with all creche records to hand, lists of holiday makers in the area at the time and the willingness of people to help, based on worldwide media coverage.

Smithman is also fake (IMO) and as such nothing will come of that sighting (as it didn't happen, IMO was just created to help get Murat off the hook), therefore based on the vague descriptions by the Smiths, that evidence can be thrown in the bin.

I don't personally think OG or the PJ are focusing on either of those supposed sightings. They are just the 2 that have been thrown around the media since the early days and early stories (Tanner and Smith).

I did uncover this little exposé, courtesy of Sky News..

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] @2:40

Classic case of takes one to know one?

Covering her track already ! 
Rather premature and self defeating given she has announced on LBC she's going to put out a trailer soon to coincide with Brenda Leyland's death annivesary?  
How is that going to work?  

I hadn't seen that little expose before.  
It's fascinating! In it she is saying people shouldn't waste Police's time over trivial, unless when one is harassed (as she was she claimed), receiving hate, harassment messages and death threats then the Police should treat it seriously.

She bemoans the Police did nothing even after she'd lodged three reports.  

Wonder what the Police will make of it, if (when) the outed trolls in her film (if it ever appears), lodge police complaints against her unlawful hacking, tracing and tracking of their ips/identities? How else would she have gotten the 2nd dossier so to speak, the one she worked on with or without help to compile so that she got material for her film?
No wonder she struggles to get lawyers' libel free stamp. 

Naturally this question is valid - IF the OBJECTIVE for her untold story of Madeleine pertains to justice for Madeleine, why not give the evidence to the Police and not be dangling it as carrot to rabbits?  Why say her volition to talk is constrained b/c of ongoing criminal investigation and then on the other hand say she is going to release a teaser of it through trailer? Collision!  Can't talk about it but can show on video, what ! 

It's yet to be seen if her objective is an honorable one or is Madeleine's case a stepping stone she is using as catalyst to champion her own cause as victim of trolls?  Time will tell....

Another major sighting of Sonia Poulton on our mainstream media this morning, this time on ITV's 'This Morning', where she was discussing some blogger called Perez Hilton, who caused controversy by posting this pic of himself and young son in the shower together (left of picture]:

The Daily Mail has helpfully published the Twitterati's reactions to Poulton's comments:

The Mail article said;

"Sonia argued it was the fact the picture was posted online which troubled her. She said: 'For me it's not the photo, as a mother myself I bathe with my daughter regularly and plan to show her boyfriend those photos at some stage in the future to embarrass her as we've all done as parents. But it's the putting it online'."

She is the media's darling right now - just 48 hours after video of her door-stepping Madeleine McCann's mother was transmitted.

@robert_mctavish lol my daughter loved it but then we went there for her 18th so she was ready for it

Is it me?

Her independent project and her appearances on Sky's sofa is mutually exclusive.
The inference that she can't be paid by Sky and still be doing something else that risks compromising her position with Sky or fall out with Sky has no leg to stand on.

I don't see why she can't independently be doing her own project at will if she wished to while on stand by for the odd ad hoc jobs? Her ad hoc appearance on Murdoch's sofa is few and far between and mostly on trivial gossip social issues if I'm not wrong.   A single mum has to make a living after all, even a blond.

Cannot imagine Sky obliging her to a binding contract that forbids her to undertake anything else outside of Sky nor would she accept such crazy term for a few odd jobs here and there.

Just saying......

Just had a look at Ms Poulton's official site to see if there's any indication as to when the complete documentary/film is to be released.  There isn't but I noticed this to the side of her complete unabridged biography..

I doubt very much Sky would not insist on some kind of contractual obligation on commentators on its channel be they direct employees or freelance. Sky would not want to be embarrassed (as it sees it) by a maverick who might make its policy line look stupid.

They must be some varying conditions imposed on full time employees and freelancers.
But I doubt it would be something that binding that suffocates a freelancer that she can't do anything independently outside of the random jobs she gets from Sky.  
On a worst scenario, if maverick should choose to go against policy line, Sky will simply refuse to air it, so ultimate control rests with Sky. 

Would imagine nothing gets passed editor in chief or equivalent superior in broadcasting department without it being officially sanctioned first before printing/airing.

Meanwhile in the south east of England, beyond the fringe (in fact probably even beyond anything that might resemble humanoid), Britain's home troll  correspondent slash windbag extraordinaire, continues unabated to spit deadly venom in the name of revenge.

It's funny you should say that about SP, because i watched a David Icke video the other night titled,

and  about her where he spoke of his experience with SP and TVP, and he pretty much describes her in the same way and called her a Diva, lol. Regardless of what people think of Icke, i think he should know about SP because she was working for him at one time.

Sorry peoples - just couldn't resist this one..

It's a spoof but still, a classic example of Ms Poulton doing what she does best - screeching like a banshee whilst hugging her favourite studio sofa.  I thought it rather amusing.

Talking of new year resolutions January 2015..

Damning new Madeleine documentary promised for 2015

A damning new “evidence-based” documentary is being prepared for screening in 2015 and promises to tell the “Untold Story of Madeleine McCann” - alleging that “no abduction took place at all”. ..

Orchestrated by independent journalist and social activist Sonia Poulton, the project got underway following the death of 63 year old grandmother ...

This is what Poulton claims has spurred her on. In a Christmas message posted on Youtube, the former broadcaster with Internet TV station The People’s Voice reveals her documentary should be ready by the end of March...

YouTube video link..  ooops no sorry, alien invasion alert - it's been abducted.
----------

New year resolutions?  Promises and pie crusts - wonder what's in store for a Poulton stylized 2016 resolution..

..and you know where those probes go with aliens.
The documentary ship sailed a long time ago, along with its sister, The Mary Celeste.
If this vessel ever resurfaces then I'm a Flying Dutchman.

Although still affiliated with Sky.com, I'm interested to know why Ms Poulton - in whom we trust to deliver the Untold Story of Madeleine McCann  - has suddenly hitched her wagon to 'Leading Britain's Conversation' (LBC Radio)..

More examples of Ms Poulton expressing her opinion on social issues as opposed to being a true freelance journalist and/or social commentator so, what exactly is she all about?  The voice of the people - the justice super sleuth in quest of peace on earth and good will to all, or is this all purely a shrouded career move?  Interested to learn more about LBC Radio, I uncovered this from a couple of years back which might explain a lot..
