McCanns - Musselburgh races

aquila wrote:The McCanns had previously encountered David Steel at their fundraising bash at Kensington Gardens. Steel was one of those who paid £150 for a ticket to attend.

This fundraiser was to mark the 1000th day since Madeleine's abduction disappearance and to put some much needed cash into the limited company's coffers with half of the proceeds going to the McCanns and the remaining half being split between Missing People and an EU equivalent charity. The McCann's fund is not a charity but a limited company, nevertheless there was, how shall I say, something symbiotic.

This is David Steel, the man who failed to have Cyril Smith investigated and was instrumental in getting him a knighthood. Would I want to stand next to him if my child had been 'taken by a paedophile'? It's obviously a rhetorical question.

The Kensington Gardens bash involved an auction. Stobo Castle also did a fundraiser with an auction.

I remember the Richard Branson's exclusive Kensington Roof Gardens funtion and what a memorable damp squib occasion that was - a star-studded bash (so sayeth the UK tabloids) that managed to rustle-up such names as Gloria Hunniford,  Fiona Bruce,  Peter Bowles and the WOW factor - none other than  Lord David Steel.  Just look at proud Gerald standing before the camera, again looking like a David Walliams tribute act..



Gerry McCann, Martin Houghton-Brown, Chief Executive Missing People, Kate McCann and Francis Herbert, Secretary General, Missing Children Europe at a Madeleine McCann fundraiser....

I think that was about the extent of the press coverage.  It must have been a total non-event, otherwise it would have been the talking point of the year.

Are those coins thrown at their feet, or gobs of chewing gum?

David Steel was a member of the party run by Jeremy Thorpe who allegedly tried to organise the murder of a rent boy who was going to tell.

Is it possible/more than likely that David Steel knew about Clement Freud sharing an office with Cyril Smith?

Oh, and I believe there's a topic somewhere on the forum that has discussed Stobo castle allowing parties for swingers.

Is it any wonder why people question the sexual pecadilloes of the rich, the powerful and the establishment who immediately swooped in on the Madeleine case as the very reason for a cover up?

Just my opinion - and thanks to a friend who pointed out this information to me.

NB:  Lord David Steel also wrote a glowing obituary following the death of his party comrade Jeremy Thorpe - another dubious character that haunted the corridors of Westminster.

Everton v. Liverpool FA Cup semi final 14 April 2014

I'm no good at celebrity spotting but I can easily recognize Dame Judi Dench and Amanda Holden.  Seems losing a child opened door for the McCanns - some might say 'a good marketing ploy'.
