They call themselves Christians and this Justice. Tony if I was to say what I really want to I would be banned. Intimidation nothing more, nothing less.

Why doesn't one self-respecting journalist pick up on this case and its over-kill ...?

And "they" must be desperate ... I think, they are ... I do ...

I have just finished reading the McCanns' lawyers' 'Skeleton Argument', which runs to 15 pages.

Up until now, I thought I was just up against:

Isabel Martorell, Partner of Carter-Ruck and her support staff, including an Assistant Solicitor

PLUS

Adam Tudor, Senior Partner of Carter-Ruck

PLUS

Jacob Dean, barister.

Apparently these already mighty legal resources are not considered strong enough to overwhelm me.

So, at the hearing on Tuesday 5 February, Jacob Dean will merely be the Junior barrister in the proceedings.

The McCanns have also appointed a Senior barrister to lead their case to impriosn me...

Adrienne Page, Queens Counsel

Again in the abuse of process. Unnecessary expense.

I so hope the Judge will see what greedy fools they are against one unrepresented man. Disgusting, every one of them.

You must be terrifying Tony, to have an entire Battalion pitched against you.

The ex MP. Margaret Moran, was also as litigious and aggressive as the McCanns. Look what's happened to her. Some say she got off lightly. Imagine having to feign mental illness for any length of time.

Question: If, I say IF Tony would be indeed be convicted to prison for contempt of court, is there a way to bail him out till the next court session's "stay" lifted, which would be about libel?

The press really ought to know about this - it has to go out there so people can hear about a solitary man defending himself against the most massive army. It`s so out of all proportion. Maybe some tweets are in order. I hope everyone tweets right up until and after the 6th Feb.

Tony, you are so correct, they would have wished you to back down but you haven't and I trust, nor will you.
You do have Mr. Justice Tugendhat.
He is his own boss when it comes to dealing with the surreal.
The above all-trail-blazing-show is just so overwhelmingly unbalanced. All the kings horses and all the kings men are being sent out to deal with a commoner. It's LAUGHABLE.
I have just grabbed some websites which Mr. Justice Tugendhat has dealt with recently.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] the comments below the article are good.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Mr. Justice Tugendhat is to my mind, completely perceptive and fair.

Think of David and Goliath, it's in the Bible for a good reason. It's to arm the apparent underdog with the courage to go out and take the giants on.

Every part of my strength is being sent to you with this post. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]I know there are many who send you all their strength too.

No one is sticking up for Madeleine other than the few that we know. The poor little girl deserves some recognition for her sad little life.

I am going to stick up for the journalists here. Most of them WANT to report all sorts of things, but are NOT ALLOWED to by their editors, the press and media owners and those who influence and control the editor and owners.

This is a lovely one, a win for the newspapers, when they do speak out. Mr. Justice Tugendhat took no rubbish.

A good sign. It shows they are not confident with their case and they fear it going full blown libel.

Their dirty tactics of delivering last min documents wont be lost on the Judge. It's called Abuse of Process.

It also proves someone is bankrolling the mccanns and that someone other than mccanns is driving this against TB.

by marxman 29.01.13 22:43

Tony, I wouldn't feel out gunned, or overawed by such

an inequality of arms. Big guns are too expensive, takes

too many to man, and very seldom hit their target.

You, be a Marxman, choose your shot, fire the truth,

and even if you miss first time, loads of time to reload

before the bigger gun reshapes it's position as its size

denotes its weakness. Tony, you can do it!

A very perceptive post aiyoyo, yes, I hadn't thought about it like that. It does prove that someone else is driving this, someone who doesn't want it to go to Libel trial and court. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Tony, this is to wish you all the very best and think how many of us are rooting for you in your pursuit of a just outcome. I cannot imagine what the judge will think when he sees all this lot paid to victimise one solitary person. At least we know that Judge Tugendhat has a reputation for wanting to see justice done, unlike some of his colleagues on the Bench. Just imagine the edition that Private Eye will publish when this appalling pair and their hangers-on finally get their come-uppance!

Those who criticised TB (you know who you are) and excused it under *helping him* or *concern for him* is doing him more harm than good when they persist with their constant destructive criticism. If critics are truly concerned for his welfare why not take it to PM? Would it not be more constructive that way?

When one is stressed out, as TB would be in the circumstances, it is extremely demoralizing and hurtful to receive uncalled for and unjustified criticism. Sometimes it is nice to respect people's choice, especially for a person who put his head above the parapet for Justice, and to credit them with intelligence and wisdom that they know what they are doing.

Constructive comments help, destructive ones hinder as well as destroy the spirit, and ideally should be avoided, especially when hurled at someone who is preparing hard against a legal suit.

I echo your sentiments Aiyoyo. Very well said.

I also echo them, aiyoyo and ShuBob :)
Tony, you are a complete inspiration, yourself and Amaral, Pat Brown etc. I only wish I was physically up to being able to support you at your trial. But being heavily pregnant isn't conducive to a 100+ mile trip, then 100+ back... But I will be there in spirit urging you on. I wish you all the best. Others may have forgotten Maddie, you haven't. You have my utmost respect and admiration. (I'd give you a flower but my phone doesn't 'do' emoticons!) :)
