From scouseland though so it will be cheap Aldi plonk, probably nicked

Could be Chateaux scouse. Red whine.

The more I have looked in the past couple of hours the more I think this is actually a bit of a non story. Very little coverage by proper newspapers,only on itv with holly wow willoughby and mr lightweight schofield, nothing really anywhere else certainly didnt see it on al jazeera or russia today so really and truly one wonders about the legitimacy,relevance and actual impact of this charity on the real issues. The nasties have taken over their fb page and turned it into a fawning vomitfest and wooshclunk any unfavourable comments,donchafeelthespin man? and with all the named club members this has all the marks of a bonafide charity being hijacked as a vehicle for Lady K. According to the birmingham paper. A rag which I have never trusted it would appear as though her magic touch has had one result already. ...though that seems to have been a spinner also. That magic touch normally seems only capable of making children go missing. Imo this will all fade away soon and then real professionals will be able to get on with the job of finding missing persons. One wonders if this news will actually hinder the search for other missing people as personally that face would make me run a mile. And if I heard the voice I would go even further.

One of the possible results of this appointment may be an increase in the number of 'lost' (read runaway from bad homes) people.

The daft relatives who read the Sun and believe all they are told by the likes of Lazzeri will contact the Missingpeople site so that they can have their five minutes of fame - possibly some media coverage and getting a bit of money out of the whole thing?
If it weren't for KM such families wouldn't bother to find their lost lamb - there are a lot of families like that out there, I'm afraid. But wow! Kate yr. actual McCann can get you on the front page........

You are right tigger.chavs attract other chavs. They repulse me.

Is repulse a word? Repel. Thats even better. Must have had a red whine moment.

Could it be possible they were paid to take er on?

Repulse is an excellent word to describe your feeling there

Could posters please stop insulting people from Liverpool, especially with tired old unfunny jokes !

I agree. Lived in Liverpool for a few years. Lovely people. Should not judge Lpool people on the basis of Kate Mcc.

Who opened a door for Kate McCann at this Missing People Charity ? I believe Trish Cameron arrived here a year before !

The fragrant Rebekah was born in Warrington , now part of Greater Manchester[ I think !] close to Merseyside. She is def not Scouse.
my post was not meant to demonstrate any fondness for Liverpool or its people, no better or worse than any other city or citizens. I get uncomfortable reading posts which are very personal, that is all.

Amscreen supports Kate McCann’s Missing People campaign

11 July 2012

The UK’s largest digital out of home media owner Amscreen has today announced that they will be supporting the Missing People charity by donating network space towards the biggest digital billboard campaign in British history.

The campaign, backed by the charity’s ambassador Kate McCann, will see the UK’s largest digital media owner broadcast appeals nationally across its network of screens. The flexible, real-time nature of the network offers the charity the ability to drive national awareness literally within minutes of the individual being reported as missing. With content being donated on around 3000 sites across Amscreen’s healthcare and forecourt networks, the ads will reach nearly 25million UK adults in these vital days after the initial missing report. Advertisements will include details of individual missing people, creating awareness of the new number to call for sighting – 116 000 – and harnessing the public’s help to join the search.

CEO Simon Sugar said “Amscreen are delighted to be able to support such a worthy cause and to be a part of an unprecedented digital campaign such as this. Flexibility and speed are both essential when it comes to advertising Missing People appeals, and our ability to get content on to screens across the UK within a matter of minutes is a great advantage and we hope it will be of great benefit to the campaign.”

Ross Miller, Director of Fundraising and Communications, Missing People said “For the charity, the immediacy of Amscreen’s digital network means it’s perfect for driving awareness across the entire UK literally within minutes of an appeal for a missing child being issued. Amscreen has been able to provide us a very reliable, simple and quick way to deliver this kind of message nationally with no fuss. The longstanding commitment to this issue by Amscreen, and their renewed support via the Outdoor Media Centre, will make a valuable contribution to the search.”

The value of the total advertising space donated by Amscreen and other companies within the outdoor advertising industry is estimated at over £1million, and the campaign is estimated to reach a record number during the summer months when – thanks to the Olympics – Britain will be at its busiest.

ENDS

Perhaps Kate can influence European policing in the future. Treat people nicely, offer tea and coffee, drive at reasonable speeds, dress smartly and don't smoke. The rest of the world searching for a missing child might also like to take a few tips there. Oh, and don't talk in a plummy voice either.

Argh! sorry to do it again buuut....

In England you have a right, thanks to PACE 1984 Code C, when being interviewed in a Police station to:

Legal advice - which also has its own little sub rules,

A continuous period of uninterrupted rest without questioning in a given 24 hours,

Interviews should not exceed 2 hours,

You should not be made to stand,

You should be given refreshment breaks,

You should be deemed as fit for interview by the Custody Officer,

Your interview should not be carried out in an opressive manner,

The Officer in Charge should identify himself to you

and

The room you are being interviewed in should have proper ventilation, heating and light.



Can't remember if the old smoking ban in the workplace was in force that long ago.



So in England she would have got the things she expected other than perhaps the plummy voice.....

The ban on smoking was fascinating.
You put a man in the cells, and do not allow him tobacco, because of the blanket ban, and Health and safety.
Then you interview him, after many hours of nicotine deprivation.
Is this "Fair" under the English rules ?
Whose rights prevail?

But Kate wasn't in UK. Kate was in a Portuguese police station. Maybe there is an opportunity for Kate to transform Portugal's police service by working really hard (who knows it may lead to a job in European parliament - wouldn't surprise me if that's in the wider agenda) and advocating PACE as every European's human right.

Would you have rather that she had had the bottom of her soles hit with a rubber tube by her interogator as happened to a lady doctor in Iraq, Aquilla?

What she expected was not unreasonable and I don't believe for one minute that anybody here would use the saying "when in Rome do as the Romans do" to advocate the unfair and sometimes cruel treatment that some countries dish out to people they hold for questioning.



PeterMac, do the exceptions to the rules on smoking not apply to a person in cells?

We're talking about Portugal, not a despotic/third world country. If Kate wasn't offered tea or something to eat (how you could swallow food when your child is missing is beyond my comprehension) then she had a mouth in her head to ask. If she didn't know who was in charge of the case - ditto. Who cares what a police officer is wearing and if he/she smokes in such circumstances? On being taken back to the police station as they had some information they drove quickly - time was of the essence no doubt. Not good enough for Kate though. Her famous mantra showed her regard for the Portuguese police - those that were looking for her daughter. Things weren't good enough for Kate. The sad thing is Kate and Gerry's neglect of their children wasn't good enough for Madeleine and remember they could have been prosecuted for that but weren't.

Sorry about the tired and unfunny joke about liverpool. You are right you shouldnt judge a whole population by one person. I got carried away with a humorous series of posts. Unfortunately unless one laughs just a little with all this then one will cry a great deal.no offence was meant. However

Will do some research, meagain, but the lengthy process of approx 11 hours was in September? [ excessive, yes, but then again she refused to answer rather important questions].
The episode where there is a rather immature, petulant critique of the police in the book was 4th May as far as I can recall. It struck me as rather incongruous that a mother who had undergone the trauma of the abduction of her child hours previously would have been sufficiently aware to absorb such trivial details as casually dressed detectives or the irrelevant matter of their smoking.
Hardly important when what matters is a job being done to establish hte whereabouts of a 3 year old.
It was May 4th that she complained about not being offered refreshment, these niceties may have been forgotten about by a police department which had not until that date been placed under such pressure when a tourist's child went missing and their initial assessment did not match the claim of the parents.
Mrs McCann did not attend the police station alone, did she? Perhaps her companion could have asked for basic info such as the whereabouts of a toilet and drinking water.
To compare a developped European country like Portugal with some despotic regime is hardly fair.
