Lots of speculation about this previously.. but it's officially noted on the UK Polling Report site for Brighton Pavilion..

CLARENCE MITCHELL (Conservative) Educated at Friern Barnet County School. Media strategy advisor, former spokesman for the McCann family and former BBC journalist

This may go a long way to explaining why there is silence from the McCann camp, and why there's been no pinky spin in the press in recent months.

I 'suspect' er 'distanting' by 'pinkie' to AVOID 'questions' being 'asked' at GE 'hustings/stump' about his 'Madeleine 'fund' ('donated to by OAP's, school kiddies and HANDICAPPED kiddies) 'RETAINER' of £28,000pa! (40% of his 'former' er, 'salary' of £70,000pa)

We'll 'see'.

"PRO BONO" of course!

Like he did 'defending' benefits CHEAT, Fiona MacKeown, who stole over £51,000 of 'benefits', and who now has a criminal record, after being found guilty and convicted of that theft!

"CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE, CLARENCE MITHCHELL, DEFENDED, AND SUPPORTED, 100%, A £51,000 BENEFITS CHEAT"

NOT, a good 'headline' for 'pinkie' just before a GE, is it?

"Don't mention Fiona, DON'T mention Fiona, the £51,000 benefits cheat i supported, 100%"
