I've followed the case since October 2007 and bought copies of Tony's booklet, which I passed on to family and friends.

I would like to wish Tony the very best of luck for the future.

Thank you for the warm welcome candyfloss. And a big thank you to all of the members that have greeted the newcomers across the various threads. I'm sure we can all agree that first post is the most daunting!

I've read Tony referring to the Scotland Yard team, from my reading both disparagingly and cynically as a bunch of oldies nearing retirement, as to insinuate what good will they do about anything. He must remember that there's a lot to be said for old boots, they're tough and have nothing left to prove...

as what is the worst that can happen to an old boot? I have faith that this review team will be as strong in their convictions as Tony is.
Following the charges of Stephen Lawrence's killers Scotland Yard are on a roll. Moreover, they have been water-tight, no leaks.

The Mccann's may have had the contacts initially, yet people have shirked away... embarrassed by the nonsense.
Embarrassed by the answers to questions that have not been asked yet such as the issue of 'tea stains' and 'sea bass'.
Everyone knows that dogs don't lie, however they have dug themselves a deeper and deeper hole.

They have managed to wriggle out of facing Amarel however I believe the outcome of that postponement will depend on yourself.
They may send you to prison for breaching undertakings, but as long as you get this to a full libel trial you have won.
Its about time all this dirty washing was aired in public.

I have always felt that Yvonne Martin knew exactly where she knew David Payne from.
For her to report anonymously and then to go public it is clear that she had seen information from confidential child protection papers which she could not disclose for want of jeopardising other cases. Once everything outs everyone connected will be brought down with them...

I therefore have a message for the minion's in the PR Companies that are paid to 'cognitively infiltrate forums' (whatever the writings of Cass Sunstein you should know that you are obvious) however you will clearly be an entry level position, possibly a recently graduate yet know this... when the Mccann's get found out it will be your career on the line also and you will never get work anywhere. You may think that your companies pseudonyms for these forums will keep you safe, however they won't. You will be publicly humiliated by this! My advice to you would be to leak your work remits, key word monitoring information or information deemed sensitive to forums or wikileaks in your spare time. Remember the Nuremberg defence of 'I was just following orders' does not apply.

The same goes for you junior staff at Carter Ruck that are reading this now... If I were you I would start looking for jobs elsewhere as your company is going to be embarrassed and publicly ridiculed for all your dark and devious goings on. If you have 'Carter-Ruck' on your CV around the period when it all goes down then you will have great difficulty getting a job anywhere else. You should think about that. Make no mistake, all this corruption will get exposed, this is the reason for this disparity in arms, there are a lot of people with a hell of a lot to lose and the first people in the firing line will be the junior staff. Your employers and the senior partners will claim lack of knowledge on everything you've been doing and shirk blame in any way.

This end result is what I hope Tony keeps his eye on, as in the end what is the worst that can happen. For Tony, you're an old boot and have nothing to prove. You have truth on your side, stay strong and don't buckle (didn't mean that pun!) when faced with 'deals'.

They on the other hand have everything to lose....

All the best.


Loopzdaloop,

This is an absolute watershed moment that you have described. When you have lived to be "an old boot" you never cease to be amazed at how cyclical life is. What you do in life revisits you at some stage - I believe it is a learning CURVE in the most literal sense. None of us escape this.

I often liken it to Hardy's Mayor of Casterbridge - the dissolute who sold his wife at the fair. Later, as a respectable and wealthy merchant and, of course, Mayor, he is confronted unexpectedly with the shame of his past.

Those bright young things at CR as well as the PR employees you describe, will one day be in that position too. For, make no mistake, the TM charade is overdue implosion.

Fortunately, for the Mayor of Casterbridge his misdemeanours were confined within parochial parameters. Today, the besmirchment of your CV will be circulated globally faster than you can say McCann,

I agree fully with your quote about 'old boots', especially being one myself. BUT, it is well known in the police service that those within 2-3 years of their 30 years' service have both eyes on their police pension - and retiring. Then they will either enjoying gardening and a few holiday cruises OR get a nice job to supplement their pension - and therefore those employing them know that they simply won't rock the boat.

Anyway, what are they doing, loopzdaloop? Shuffling and sorting boxes, probably rooms full, of paper, and translations, from Portugal, Leicestershire and Barcelona - oh, and maybe visiting a U.S. jail if they want to find out if Kevin Halligen has anything useful to tell them about his 4 months' employment for the McCanns spent living the high life with his girlfriend Shrirn Trachiotis, and trousering £500,000 plus expenses in the process
