Extract from Jon Clarke's new book: 'My Search for Madeleine McCann'

Private Dick Dastardly..

Jill Havern wrote:Jon has replied on Fakebook so at least we now know what the book's about.
Jon Clarke
Jill Havern/peter macloud and Tony Bennett (all warned and tackled by UK police and courts over lies and claims about the McCanns) - anyone interested can buy the book and read all about this tragic trio… a Ukip supporter, a retired detective and a driving instructor. No one should believe a word from trolls like them

For the record, and so that it shall be clearly understood
I have never been warned or tackled either by UK Police or Courts over lies and claims about the McCanns.
Jill and Tony will speak for themselves.
I have never told a lie about the McCanns so far as I am aware.
The lies and claims are entirely Clarke's

To the contrary I have been in regular contact by email with Operation Grange, have submitted several dossiers of evidence to them
and have received courteous acknowledgements

Nope, me neither. But then Jon has a reputation for being economical with the truth. But he did investigate the wrong person anywho so maybe there's time yet.

Notice how Jon the 'Journalist' can't won't even spell your name correctly and has put it all in lower case as a mark of juvenile disrespect...

p.s Your ebook blog had squillions of hits yesterday...

...mainly from Spain  

exactly as kate did in her autobiography 'madeleine'

I wonder what H. Fülscher thinks about the book and the condemning of his client, who has not yet been interviewed by H. Wolters, and certainly not by Clarkseau.

Actually I know what he thinks.  He has read it, and he has told me.
Not impressed, is, I think, an accurate euphemism and paraphrase of his email.

Will Brückner have to wait ?

Will I have to wait ?   Since it clear from the Blurb that Clarke is just about to repeat the libels against TB and me that he has in the past, 
and which he has been repeatedly warned about publishing and for which he has refused to retract, explain or apologise, 
even though I provided him with a form of words acceptable to me.

I've created this new facebook group today in readiness for debating Jon's book with facebook people, aswell as chatting about it here of course...if anyone would like to join?

"UKIP supporter" is hardly an insult.

Nigel Farage and UKIP led and dominated the campaign for the Referendum, which was held in 2016, and on 31 January 2020 we LEFT the European Union.

I joined UKIP in 1997 and was pleased to play a minor role in getting our first-ever UKIP M.E.P., Jeffrey Titford, elected in June 1999. I was UKIP's Eastern Region Campaign Co-ordinator.

Strange thing is, in October 2007, as the Madeleine McCann case was buzzing around my head, my wife and I had a holiday in Andalucia, Spain. We stayed in a B&B two nights in one of the area's famous 'white villages'. When we came down for breakfast, there were huge piles of The Olive Press stored all over the floor, ready to be delivered to various outlets. We had stayed in the house of Jon Clarke's Distribution Manager!

I asked to read a copy. There was a 2-page spread written by Jon Clarke himself. He boasted about being "the first journalist on Praia da Luz" and later in the article he explained why he was 'convinced' the McCanns were innocent.

I knew he was lying. By that time, a plan was already forming in my mind to try and bring a private prosecution against the McCanns for child neglect...

...the rest, as they say, is history...

"Jon Clarke was the first journalist on the scene when Madeleine McCann went missing in 2007 . . ."
NO HE WASN'T
There is YouTube news footage showing him in a group of at least 6, comparing notes and reading what they had found out. He got there comparatively late having driven the 4 hours from his home in Spain.
So the first sentence is a lie. One he has repeated over the years.
Read the rest with this in mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressively comprehensive

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 September 2021

Verified Purchase

I devoured all 437 pages of this book in less than three days.

And although I must have already read hundreds of thousands of words about this case over the years, it had plenty of information I didn't know.

Jon Clarke has clearly carried out a comprehensive and forensic investigation of the case in order to write it.

But equally impressive is the way he successfully takes the reader on his journey investigating it - from the morning this case first began, right up until the present day - with a very readable writing style, which made me want to keep on reading right until the end.

I would recommend it to anyone, from people who have very little knowledge of this mystery to those who are experts on it, including the authorities now investigating.

5.0 out of 5 stars A rigorous investigation into the mysterious Madeleine McCann case

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 September 2021

There is no doubt that Jon has become more immersed in this case than almost anyone… and his knowledge and expertise easily explain why no-one should believe the conspiracy theorists and oddballs who still blame the parents!
Instead he builds a very thorough and detailed understanding of the prime suspect Christian Brueckner by talking to those who know him best as well as police and prosecutors.
The seedy underworld of the costas of Spain and the Algarve is there for all to see. … and his probe of the hundreds of paedophiles there is excellent, as his honest and alarming study of the rise of child pornography over recent years.
All parents will want to have a read of this book.
In fact, it’s essential reading.

What a load of nonsense

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 September 2021
This novel should really be under crime fiction. Clarke, not known for fair and honest reporting, has pictured a man on the front cover and is suggesting that he is guilty of abducting Madeleine McCann when the man has not even been questioned yet. To me, this book is highly libelous and both the publisher and Amazon should be mindful of this.

Yeah, it's self-published - I doubt a reputable publisher would have touched it with a bargepole especially with the photo of CB on the front who hasn't even been questioned by the police yet.

We get a proper thrashing on this forum - as you might imagine   well, actually PeterMac does - which is understandable considering Jon's bewk is his way of getting his own back on Peter for trashing his made up stories in the e-book.

Interesting that for the FIRST TIME he spells my name correctly, and gets my police service and rank correct.
Why wait till now ?
Some of the rest is just journalistic tosh and fluff, but he uses the form "–or his aliases or colleagues–" which I suppose he intends to give him immunity to Libel suits . . .

I am from a previous generation and served in a previous century, indeed a previous Millennium.
I am used to abuse from drunks, druggies, criminals, the mentally ill,  . . . and journalists.

Sleep well..
I shall.

And will then reply. Here. Since we know he reads it.

After which, we will reply to his reply, won't we?

Only ONE rat ?
