Get back to Portugal and look themselves. That is what they should do, but haven't. Sell their home if the fund is running low or get their millionair backers to buy up their entire stock and put money in their fund that way.

Stop begging the general public. You lost your daughter and millions of public money both in Portugal and Britain have been spent trying to find poor Maddie. Try putting their hands in their own pockets for a change.

I do not want to hear about the marathon running or the volunteer work or the husband and his hacked off campaign. Spend the time searching for Maddie themselves instead of expecting others to do it for them. Enough begging more searching should be their aim now imo.

Perhaps we can ask the express if there is anywhere we can comment on the fact that we can't often comment (and then not for very long) on anything relating to the McCanns.

I suggest we enter comments in much-read articles (not about the McCanns) where we will simply refer to this problem.

e.g: Nick Clegg really has to get his act together. By the way why are comments not allowed about the article re the McCanns?
or: Totally agree with this tax being illegal. Money-grabbing by the government. Why are comments not allowed by the Express/Mirror etc. on the McCanns?

might be a useful ploy since they're going to have to edit all comments on all headlines.

@JeanMonroe - it wouldn't be you who'd be sued, it would be the owners and moderators of this forum.

Myra, Harold, Fred, Rose, Gerry and Kate. Shame on you!

Kate was in Portugal for the sixth anniversary, why didn't she stay longer and do some searching herself? This article is just an advert to sell their wares, how tacky listing what £1.75 can buy. The article was supposed to be about Madeleine still missing.

While Kate McCann, the MOTHER of Madeleine was in Portugal did she put up any posters? anyone?

The mccanns are facing a very costly libel trial in Lisbon, one which they have very little hope of winning. There are three lots of Defendants, each with their own legal teams, if mccanns lose they will have to pay not only their own legal costs but those of all the other parties. The Fund could be wiped out.

I think (I may be wrong here) but in Portuguese law each party is required to pay their own costs regardless of the outcome. Can someone confirm that?

by worriedmum 02.06.13 11:43

I feel very cross that this article leads on to a link to the McCann's site and the information that this poster can be purchased.
With the huge amount of donations that the fund has received, it seems amazing to me that they have not been using the money to print and distribute posters FOR FREE. In fact Kate could have done this while she was in Praia Da Luz recently.

Then I remembered this-

You may well be right that Portuguese law differs, hope someone knows the answer to this.

When the McCanns LOST the overturn book decision COSTS were awarded AGAINST them!
And that included Sean and Amelie as well, because the book 'trial' was bought by The McCanns AND their THREE children!
No pocket money for the twins for a few years!

The appeal by defendant Dr. Gonçalo Amaral is sustained.

The other appeals are not taken into consideration, as it is understood that their
appreciation is prejudiced – article 660º, no 2, of the Civil Process
Code.

III – Decision

In harmony with what is written above, under the terms of the cited dispositions, the Judges at this
Appeals Court declare the validity of the appeal filed by defendant Dr. Gonçalo Amaral, and the sentence of the Court a quo is revoked, its disposition replaced by the following:

The injunction is deemed not valid because it was not proved.

Furthermore we deliberate that we do not acknowledge the rest of the appeals.

Costs to be paid by the appellants*...... (The McCanns AND their THREE children)

Lisbon and Appeals Court,
14.10.2010

The Appellate Court
Judges,

Francisco Bruto da Costa
Catarina Arelo
Manso
António Valente

Not sure this is a way forward. I would think not having comments on topics means the newspaper moderators have had legal problems with comments before. Therefore they don't want to open themselves up for possible legal actions. It doesn't just apply to the McCanns though. NewsNight on BBC TV once said email addresses of those who commented were always logged against legal action. It is true the owners would be sued but then again the owners could counter-sue the person/persons who made the original comment very easy with their tracking software. People have been caught out recently.

by Peneda Geres 02.06.13 12:50

I'm not going to do this, tho I hope someone here will. Contact Missing people and explain you are going on holiday and would like them to send you some age progressed posters of MBM.

I would do this myself but I have no holidays planned, it would play on my conscience asking for goods by fraudulent means.

People were caught out on twitter because they admitted it. If you have a number of people living at home how would they know who had posted what?
They would also need the computer so unless it is a police matter, then it would be very, very expensive to get hold of the computer and also if the hard drive had been removed or the computer done away with, then it would be difficult to sue unless they had an admission from the poster?

I think it would become a police matter so everything else would follow including the ID of the person posting. The computer would record who posted & what. It is very simple. Not really like getting your wife to take your speeding points. I think you may suffer from being a little naive and that is the worst thing possible when posting or dealing on Twitter/Facebook. Then again you or anyone is free to take their own path on this topic. I have just stated mine.

by Peneda Geres 02.06.13 16:08

One computer, one IP address, more than one person having access to said computer, police ask questions," NO COMMENT".....simples.

by Guest 02.06.13 16:34

I'm sort of with Penny on this one, my golden rule is never to land on a site from this forum particularly if I'm going to post a comment about it.

I don't necessarily think the police might be that interested but TM/press might be interested in making an example of someone.

I'm only suggesting we ask a perfectly good question about the closed comments we encounter so often on McCann articles. If we add this query to a perfectly civil comment on another topic I cannot see what the problem is. We're asking the Express/Mail/Mirror et al a simple question. You don't get taken to court for going off topic.
I don't think the tabloids have a section where any question can be asked? If so, I'd be perfectly happy to put it there. Otherwise, adding the question to a comment on another topic seems to be the only option.
Legal actions don't apply - comments are routinely screened, it's the paper's responsibility. It has nothing to do with the recent Twitter libel case.
Asking why one may not comment is not libel. I've bolded the general question above. I certainly don't suggest we ask anything else or add our opinion on the McCanns.

Agreed tigger and paraps British holidaymakers can help in the hunt for Madeleine, says Kate McCann Sunday Express 2/6/13 3711883763

As you say, comments won't see the light of day unless the moderator lets them through. Many comments I have submitted don't get through, but I know someone has read them at the office, and is being duly educated in the enormous skepticism that abounds re the gruesome twosome's dodgy story.

I have no idea of the legalities regarding comments in newspapers as it's not my concern. I made it my concern though at the height of the TB proceedings to research whether a forum owner is liable for postings. They are not and it's here somewhere that to sue a forum owner would be akin to suing a newsagent for selling a paper containing libellous material.

We are all responsible for what we post, not the forum owner.
Think on. Would CR have gone after Tony Bennett if they could have had the site owner instead and closed it down?

There's a blogger called 'Dr David Payne' (I expect you've seen him), and his comments often make it through, complete with his avatar of David Payne's face. This blogger has been posting regularly some very direct and blunt comments re the McCanns for years now on twitter and everywhere! The 'pro's' used to go ballistic with threats.... and his oftentimes response was..... to post up the Gaspar statements!

Good point! I too would like to know Aquila but I doubt she did any of that. Probably because she would have to pay for them herself. Some people truly have the hide of a rhino! They make me cringe. IMO
