Carlos Anjos: 'I believe that there is clearly an attempt to exonerate the couple'

Katie Hopkins has been the only one recently who has caused a few waves but as the public are divided on her I am not sure how seriously she is taken . She had a radio discussion last Sunday but was limited to discussing the cost and whether the investigation should be stopped. She said at the start it wasn't going to be a discussion about the investigation itself. She did mention the withheld efits though and a couple of callers did express their doubts about the McCanns.

Carlos Anjos -

"No, nothing makes sense anymore.

"I would say, from the day the process was reopened or since when the English authorities reopened the case in England and started to investigate, it has never made any sense.

"It would make some sense if the English authorities had read the Portuguese process and said that there were failures, and then followed alternative lines of investigation.

"All they did do, what they have limited themselves to, was merely to follow or repeat what was done by the Portuguese, several times. In fact, they are now redoing what they themselves had done, they've already done this step".

I wish I'd had this before my trip to Downing Street last Friday.

I feel another Addendum coming on...

Most definitely from day one IMO


Nothing to do with any truth for Madeleine, nothing to do with justice!


But why? Why the need to "exonerate"? 


What is so special about the MCCanns? 




SY isn't a "yard" anymore it's a "mile" one they've taken too far!

I mean, honestly..since when do we take the people who SHOULD (and would be in any other case, because of statistics and such) be the prime suspects word for it and centre the investigation around nothing but what they say? Its just crazy.

Having said that though I do not see why on earth this whole sorry parade happened if the only point was to exonerate the McCanns.

Remember that OG was actually Rebekka Brooks' idea - with Cameron jumping on board either through fear or error of judgement.  Having made the decision, he then had to be 100% certain that Grange would not come back and bite him in the backside. The only way to avoid that was to strictly limit the remit and ensure that the T9 were not even looked at as suspects.

The primary goal of OG was therefore to save the faces of all those (particularly politicians) who had ill-advisedly thrown their weight and government resources behind the McCanns.  Exonerating the McCanns was the only way to do this.  A guilty McCann result would have had Brown and Cameron looking like complete fools. Ditto all the high-profile supporters.  Worse, it would look as though the UK government had actively tried to pervert the course of justice in the case. Grange would never be permitted to do that - and so it has proved.

Well, a possible reason purely my opinion.

I posted a BBC link from '02 stating that British cardiology wasn't very good and the government was determined to make it better.  Now spin it forward to now.  Britain is said to be best in Europe. And a recent report said that Prof. Gerry McCann is one of the best cardiologists around.

What am I suggesting? The money tied up in his training and expertise in cardiology. The powers that be will protect him. And stick their fingers in their ears and shout la la la.

Uh can you give a reliable source for "prof" Gerry McCann being one  of the best cardiologists around? You don't end up in nuclear imaging because of your great diagnostic or therapeutic skills.

oh err, all that loss of appetite blah blah blah in the libel action doesn't seem to have stopped him climbing the greasy pole though?

With that salary coming in there will never be any need to make mortgage repayments from the Fund again then? (IMO of course).

Okay correction of him being a prof of cardiology.  But the point is still valid that him being a prof within that dept.

Wasn't there some utterance from Team McCann that someone had been taken ill and Madeleine had wheeled out some sort of children's toy to deal with it.

I get so pissed off with all the PR.
