Splendid idea to have all the donations listed in one place for future reference.

Just had a quick look and picked out this one that I thought not only interesting but also very constructive:

"I am a lecturer in Law and we often debate the case of MBM . So many young students are now researching the case with the original translated case files. Their research is outstanding and these young students demonstrate a real passion for truth and their dislike of the BS printed in the MSM. Students now realise that the truth is now via twitter/blogs and the British MSM is worthless. So sad to see such dreadful misinformation and corruption in the UK. I'm ashamed when I look at Mccans/ missing people/ Jim Gamble/ Gordan Brown. WTF is going on?!

Big mistake on the part of the McCanns and their brethren to think in their arrogance, they were only preaching to a load of mindless morons !?!

Couldn't agree more.

Some of these comments are brilliant!

Wow! This one:

Another small donation. A huge injustice has been done to Dr Amaral. State-sponsored injustice of this nature follows predictable lines and I have been reflecting on the wider malaise in our society - that of secrecy.The tissue of lies in cases like the Madeleine McCann case are exactly that, lots and lots of very thin layers that tear and break down over time. We currently are witness to the unravelling of another case decades on: the Kincora Boys' Home scandal (Channel 4 News) and the involvement of intelligence services is damning. Children's lives decimated by faceless, unaccountable people who make arbitrary and amoral decisions as to the "greater good" of society. There was a man called Colin Wallace. He evidently tried to call a halt to the abuse at Kincora, abuse which was being filmed and used for blackmail in counter-terrorism ops. This man of significant military rank, Wallace, ended up in prison on some trumped-up charge for his trouble, but is back today with his head held high, still telling a story of boys who were deemed "collateral damage" by intelligence services. There are dark forces everywhere in society, particularly where secrecy is involved, but when these dark forces are embedded in MI5, MI6 , the Home Office, the Diplomatic Service and immune from prosecution due to the Official Secrets Act it is little wonder we are descending into a miasma of immorality. With every emergent case we cannot avoid the bitter truth about the country we thought we knew - and that is, we and our children are every bit as vulnerable to attack from these same malign forces as to any invading enemy attacking the fabric of our society. And if adults can be silenced, what hope has a child? A child's pain spoken through the voice of a grown man or woman left unhealed decades later, denied basic justice and condemned to an outsider's life of fear and watchfulness, is very painful to listen to. We must all, somehow, muster the courage to fight this evil, and the first stage is an awakening. I believe many more people are aware but in various stages of denial. They find it too painful to countenance what our society has become, and turn away again. And IT IS painful to see the ugly stain spread across the face of Blake's towering land with the echo of the abiding question he posed forever ringing in our ears: "And was Jerusalem builded here?" . I saw Theresa May fielding questions from Keith Vaz at a recent Home Affairs Select Committee regarding the Child Sex Abuse Inquiry. She was playing with words as only Ms May can, repeatedly conceding that she would "hope" whistle-blowers to the enquiry would not be prosecuted under the OSA. That was as far as she would be pressed. She "HOPED". Not long after this, I read on Exaro News that there had been a late night vote in Parliament just weeks before she appeared in front of this Committee. John Mann (Lab) had, in February 2015, put forward a motion with, I believe, two small clause amendments to the Official Secrets Act and SPECIFIC ONLY to the Child Abuse Inquiry. It was a way to release those previously constrained by the OSA but with information to give the Child Abuse Inquiry. The clause would release them from fear of prosecution and subsequent imprisonment for contravening the OSA. This important vote went unreported in the MSM and I suspect few are even aware of it today. I was gobsmacked to discover that this supposed FREE VOTE had obviously been whipped along party lines. With a few exceptions, the Tories, and the LibDems had voted AGAINST, and the Labour party had voted FOR the amendment. Incredulous, I ran my eyes down the list of MPs (available on Exaro News) to see which way individuals had voted. From what I saw it was no wonder Ms May had very good reason to only "HOPE" that no one would end up in gaol for speaking to the Inquiry, as you too can discover at your leisure if you have five minutes to spare.

.. for her cycle ride for Missing People, has still some considerable way to go before it reaches her £10 000 target: £5506.92 donated so far from just 374 people. Oh dear, where did all the celebrity donors go to?

Bit of a contrast with our fund raising efforts for Dr Amaral, £26, 817 to date, raised by 1652 people just on the GoFundMe site, which has been done without a poster campaign showing Madeleine with a coloboma which the McCanns never made much of apparently, or the sale of good quality wristbands and other such stuff.

Since 2nd June there has been a £500-600 spike on the bike ride page, this spike seems to correspond with the Daily Star article about'sick trolls' donating to Amaral's fund. There was also an upward spike on Amaral's fund after that Daily Star article.

Oh, i'm 'sure' that a 'huge £5,000 grant' will be 'donated', shortly, to Kate and Fiona's 'Hacked Off, Cycling Tour of Britain', ('in MEMORY of Madeleine') by a certain 'Huge Grant', don't you?

'curtailing' peoples 'freedom of speech' does cost money, after all!

I've been looking at donations to KM on justgiving and I was wondering if someone could explain the gaps where people make a comment and yet no donation amount is printed?

Is this a normal thing on justgiving?

by LG 10.06.15 13:32

Justgiving gives the option to hide the amount donated, obviously some have chose to it.

Thank you, that explains things.

339 can’t be right as it’s gone down.

Now £6625 from 402.

Looks to be calling in favours from a few ‘zleb’s this morning?

So Nicky Campbell believes that MBM was abducted by a stranger. I remember the time I phoned his programme to ask his guest, BHH, about OG and he shut me up PDQ.

yes LIR I remember he was rather dismissive of the Portuguese police.

Not sure if it's wise of NC and his wife, Tina Ritchie, both BBC employees, to involve themselves with the MCs.

Comment on fund website by someone from Exeter - as posted by Sally pelt on another thread.

"Good luck Goncalo! You must regret the day that the McCann's arrived in Portugal and have since made your life a living hell. I knew very little about this case and always felt genuinely sorry for Kate and Gerry. I now feel genuinely sorry for you and the defamation of the Portuguese police force by the UK MSM thanks to the McCann's and their supporters. Something huge is being covered up and as a resident of Exeter many whispers have now become local gossip. I pray for both you and those innocent people that have been dragged into this sordid case".

Dear friends,

Just a short note to clarify that donations that have been received via the GoFundMe page which was set up by Leanne Baulch have been received directly - and continue to be received directly - into the BPI bank account that Projecto Justiça Gonçalo Amaral has used since 2009 to channel support towards Mr Amaral's defence costs.

Please allow us to use this opportunity to, once again, thank you for your support, which has been received by Gonçalo Amaral in many wonderful ways, from all over the world.

We will update you on the appeal proceedings as soon as there are developments.

Thank you, as ever.

Come on Rocky win this fight, I am sick of seeing their grinning faces and do-gooding activities on behalf of other people, when she wouldn't answer those 48 questions the Portugest police asked of her.

And KM, quite 'happy', to 'jeopardise'(on 'record') the investigation that sought to establish the material truth about what 'happened' to her 'missing' daughter.
