£12 for Madeleine's 12th birthday + £88 because I like round numbers :o) I believe in natural justice and it is completely unjust for ANYONE to be deliberately and/or maliciously deprived of access to adequate legal counsel, and particularly by his adversaries. How on earth can it ever be acceptable for a plaintiff to freeze a defendant's assets and thus render him incapable of mounting a defence/appeal when he has competent and valid grounds to do so? Not to mention effectively gagging him, when they have the UK media dancing and spinning to their tune. No matter the circumstances of the particular case, no matter the outcome, Dr Amaral deserves the opportunity to appeal an obviously unfair and disproportionate judgement. Happy Birthday Madeleine, RIP Brenda & Good Luck Goncalo Amaral

In 2008, News International compensated Kate McCann to the tune of £125k for publishing her diaries because this reportedly caused her to feel "mentally raped". Yet, in 2011, she sold the £500k serialisation rights to 'madeleine' (a book written for her children, so we were told, and based on her famous diaries) to the very same news group she accused of 'violating' her... and not only did she reveal details of her and Gerry's sex life but she also included a grossly offensive description of the abuse she imagined Maddie endured at the hands of a paedophile (The Sun had to replace her precise words with something more acceptable). In 2012 the McCanns appeared at the Leveson Inquiry to reiterate how terribly violated they felt. However, in response to a question about Leveson, Lord Bell, Chairman of the PR company Bell Pottinger, said "And I'm really not interested in what the McCanns think, because the McCanns paid me £500,000 in fees to keep them on the front page of every single newspaper for a year, which we did'. And they talk about "trolls"? Everything about this story has been nothing but dishonesty and manipulation from the beginning.

Des - The term *Troll* was once reserved for those who resorted to using threatening or extreme language on social media, now it's used to describe anyone who disagrees with the mainstream media & their friends. And, unfortunately, we're lumbered with a media that bows to the rich & powerful, regardless of the truth, whilst preying on soft targets, like the Portuguese detective, who cannot afford libel lawyers. The truth is, if you have influential allies & enough money to hire half a dozen top-notch lawyers, you can quite literally get away with anything in the UK. No wonder there's so many cover-ups involving children.

Blaize - Its a disgrace that the majority of the British public do NOT know the hidden truths about this case, truths that the British main stream media don't bother telling us.... why

This fund is a fantastic effort because it is joining up more people who perhaps dont frequent forums such as this - collectively - the more we can network in these people the better

Snipped from article upthread

Meantime, the instigator of the British appeal fund raising money for Amaral’s appeal tells us she has been approached by a number of UK newspapers, but none of them are keen to write about her effort until it reaches the €25,000 target.

I am not comfortable with that. 

Why approached her in the first place if they weren't ready to write about it ?
Why should the reached target make a different to what they are going to write?
There is a sinister connotation to it.

Kate and Gerry,you damaged the lives of my children when they were small as they thought someone was going to get into their bedroom windows as their catholic school told them your jack-a-nory story and asked them to pray. We had sleepless nights for years and a security routine to check doors and windows before sleep.
Their anxiety and distress caused by your lies.
I donated £5 back then to the school fund for you as at the time I thought you were genuine human beings.
I cuddled and calmed them as I believed the fiction too.
I would like to withdraw that money and give to a truth teller.
The truth will be told.
You cannot hide behind pity statements by calling people trolls and haters.
People are waking up and realising your story is full of holes and had the real story broke back then, my children would not have been scared or scarred by your lies.

LB unwisely got drawn in & said they were not on the list of contributors which was taken to mean that she was divulging info. about the ‘anonymous’ donors, which she may or may not have been, but was clearly wrong if that was the case.
 
Cristobell waded in as well, but it looks a bit ‘handbags at dawn’ and was certainly being blown up by the TM supporters as much as possible.
 
Looks to have been resolved anyway, certainly from the RP side as he is again promoting the fund.
 
Just for the record, I donated anonymously, but will put my name to it next time as I would like to be formally classed as a ‘troll’, which seems to have taken on a completely new meaning over the last week or so!
