Sonia Poulton and the Madeleine McCann case, 7 October 2014 to 7 October 2016

Today is the two-year anniversary of Sonia Poulton’s impassioned plea about the death of Brenda Leyland and about not being able to report the truth about Madeleine McCann:

It was followed up two months later with a promise to make a documentary about both Brenda Leyland and Madeleine McCann which would contain something “that will truly shock you all”.

As the months rolled by, we were given one version after another by Sonia of when the documentary was going to appear and then why there was a delay.

Then we had a dramatic clip of her knocking on the door of the McCanns’ home, and the door apparently being opened by Kate McCann. The video (a 'Teaser Trailer') described her documentary as 'coming soon'.

Along with others, I welcomed Sonia’s proposed documentary, although to be honest it seemed somewhat unnecessary given that only weeks before Sonia released the above video, Richard D Hall had published a 4-hour documentary covering many angles of the case - which has now been viewed on YouTube alone over 1.5 million times.

From time to time people tweet Sonia Poulton in the vain hope of an answer to the question: “What has happened to your documentary?” I recently replied to two of these tweets, which has drawn forth a tweet a from Sonia-supporter why styles herself as Lady Cheryl Lavinia Moncrieffe. She seems to be a prominent member of the 'Justice for Maddie' forum which I think is run by the shouty and aggressive Linda Wrafter.

This was her tweet:

Cheryl Moncrieffe ‏@ CherylM777  Oct 2
@ zampos @ SoniaPoulton Tony please arm yourself with knowledge! Here is a grab from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] What's your obsession with Sonia?

The 'grab’ from Sonia’s blog was this,

which states that a film-maker, Dave Eden, agreed to fund the entire documentary project out of his own pocket. The problem for Sonia with that account was that it contradicted many other statements she made about her proposed documentary, e.g. claiming it had been ‘commissioned’ by a TV channel.

I am not in the least ‘obsessed’ with Sonia but if any members and guests here are curious about the great reservations I have about her handling of the Madeleine McCann case, they derive from her actions when employed by David icke for ‘People’s TV’.

She featured the Madeleine McCann case three times while she was employed by People’s TV. These are the three people she chose to interview regarding the Madeleine McCann case:

1 Former barrister Michael Shrimpton, a fantasist who once wrote a fake intelligence report about Madeleine, claiming she had been abducted on a boat on behalf of European Commission paedophiles, had later been spirited over the Argentine-Chile border, and eventually killed in December 2008. I am not making this up. But Shrimpton certainly was. Shrimpton has a conviction for having child sexual abuse images on his computer and was handed a one year prison sentence

2 Stephen D Birch, another fantasist and attention-seeker, who has claimed, using sheer chicanery, that Madeleine is buried under Robert Murat’s driveway, and sought funds from the public to fund a dig there

3 Rosalinda Hutton, who contributed no information at all about Madeleine’s disappearance when Sonia interviewed her, and then, months later, featured in a 2-page spread in Britain’s most-read newspaper, the Sun, where she was accurately protrayed as an ‘anti-McCann hater’ who ‘got a buzz out of squishing people for fun on Twitter’. That interview of Hutton in the Sun was personally arranged by Sonia.

If people want to believe that Sonia Poulton has done one single thing to advance the public’s knowledge of what really happened to Madeleine McCann, I am fine with that.

I just happen to disagree

In addition, as a reminder, the Production Journal (2014-present) still up for all to read, concludes with an entry for February 2016 - I quote..

"A positive development. A wealthy man has offered to back me in travelling overseas to talk with a broadcaster. Our journey continues....."

Yes,Sonia has been very quiet over Brenda Leyland's Death and has so far failed to carry out any campaign to oust the instigators of the actions they took to"hound"Brenda about her beliefs on Madeleine's disappearance?
Then it is brought to CMMoM,that Sonia had taken up a paid role for Sky News Corporation,the same "Sky news"that had Martin Brunt and his Dossier handed to Sir Bernard Hogan Howe over misconstrued allegations involving the Identity of Sweep@face,by **nt on Live TV?
Then Sonia has close associations to person's"Harassing"CMMoM mediators,who have been convicted for the actions they had undertook,did Sonia ever distance herself from these people?
