BTW: in whose interest is this 'news' flash?
Is there an ex-Sunny boy on permanent guard duty in front of SY barracks?

If so: why?

Was CM seen carrying a change of clothes/clean underwear/toothbrush?

Maybe a case of mistaken identity.

Or maybe he's just reporting losing his wallet/credit cards/watch/mobile phone and what have you.

Let's wait & see.

Maybe he's just reporting a lost dog!

Now now kate isn't lost, she's temporarily stuck in the wardrobe again whilst searching for Madeleine in Narnia.

Walking into (ex-reporter) and walking passed (pinky)..............errr.....is that a fake sighting?

Pinky has lost his talent if he didnt get it that the ex-reporter was taking the piss........

Question is: why the ex-reporter reported such a sighting, as in what was his purpose? Is Amaral trial coming up soon?

They all knew Maddie would not be found and why he could leave his job in the government. Why john mccann also left Astra Zeneca

by Guest 28.03.13 13:36

It doesn't appear that John McCann ever left AstraZeneca - not until May 2011 anyway.

As for Clarence, we can only wonder why he gave up a steady job for one which for all he knew could end imminently.

From The Times
May 22, 2007

John McCann, 48, who is on indefinite leave from his job as a medical rep for the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca.

Gordon Brown has pledged his support. Last Friday [18 May 2007 - T.B.] John McCann was dining with friends when Downing Street called to say that the Chancellor was on the line. Minutes later Mr McCann’s mobile – on which he takes hundreds of calls daily – ran out of power, cutting off Britain’s next Prime Minister in mid-sentence. Yesterday morning, as Mr McCann was talking to The Times, his mobile rang again. It was Revenue & Customs, calling at Mr Brown’s request to discuss how the fund could gain charitable status.

Shame they were in such a rush to set up the 'fighting fund' that they didn't have time for attaining charitable status.

IMO, he must have compromised the government and had to be sacked, in order that the government can protect their position, and not be dragged down by him

IIRC, his hasty departure from his job with the Central Office of Information was very sudden, as if there was no notice period served; which could only mean he was sacked over a grave mistake and told to bugger off immediately literally.

I suspect that it was orchestrated and part of the plan.

The trick of PR is deniability. It's the entire foundation for the trade. A 'spokesman' rings the press and gives information, and then says that they will deny it if anything goes wrong. That's why large companies steer clear of employing their own PR people, and use external companies instead. Clarence Mitchell's resignation was for the purpose of removing liability from the government and civil service. It is how PR works.

This implies that the government knew exactly what was really going on, and how long the game would be playing out for. Of course, if you did know what was going on, you would know that Madeleine was not going to be found.

I agree with your views entirely, aiyoyo. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Clarrie's dramatic departure from MMU was not entirely surprising either, when you consider that the British trained CSI blood and cadaver dogs had alerted to all things McCann just a few weeks earlier.

I vividly remember his (so called) resignation speech, and felt at the time that this was a man that had been given the push. His claims that 'Kate and Gerry needed his full assistance.....' were absurdly weak, and did not match his peeved facial expression or body language.

I think his fall from grace happens from the moment he cautioned the mccanns to be watchful of Police bugging them.
That reckless act shows he got personal with his client, was already taking side even at that stage, which wasn't professional at all.
As Government's representative he was supposed to be neutral. By taking side he was biased; his action was hindering the Police works hence can tantamount to perverting the course of justice. The government couldn't be openly seen to be taking side.

The level of government's help was OTT. One could argue that the extreme level of help accorded to the mccanns is unusual, exceptional in fact, but no matter the reasons behind (sinister or just goodwill or misconception) the government cannot (rather cannot be seen) to be involved other than on a goodwill basis; and CM's action of warning the "objects of target" compromised that. IMO, that went beyond goodwill.

What interest me is not why he gave up a government job to work for a pair of non-entities. What interest me is at what stage was he dropped into picture. Did he go into it knowingly ( a willing co-conspirator) or did he go into it blindly (deceived into it), as in went into it believing they were innocent only for it to dawn on him the opposite is true but he was already too deep into it and too late to u-turn

I think he's just not very good at his job. Witness the asinine statements he made from the start.

If you want to see an amateurish attempt to get himself into the limelight, have a look at the powerpoint presentation about his handling of the case.
By himself of course. A level C- imo.

Here it is: scroll down for the pictures of the powerpoint.

and from Wordpress:
‘Find Madeleine’ PR guru to visit Dubai
The self-proclaimed PR guru who represented the parents of missing British girl Madeleine McCann during the investigation into her disappearance is visiting Dubai to give a talk on crisis management.

Clarence Mitchell appeared frequently in the international media during 2007 and 2008, after being hired to handle the intense interest in the high-profile case of the girl, who went missing from a holiday villa in Portugal.

Mitchell, a former BBC journalist and head of media monitoring at the British government’s cabinet office, acted as spokesman for Kate and Gerry McCann, and went on to assist several families involved in missing person and murder cases.

He will speak to delegates at the 5th IIR PR Congress in November, which also presents Kay Luo, senior director of communications at the USA’s Linkedin and Colleen Harris, former press adviser to the Prince of Wales.

The conference takes place at the Monarch Hotel in Dubai from 8 to 12 November.unquote

by The Rooster 29.03.13 14:43

I've just looked at Mitchell's presentation and felt sick to the pit of my stomach. You weak misfit. What sort of person are you to found upon a missing child to promote your business skills. The fact you took the job tells me exactly the type of human being you are.

Only a master wordsmith like Wilde or Peake could describe a person like the Mccanns mouthpiece...

In Peake's words:
His body gave the appearance of being malformed but it would be difficult to say exactly what gave it this gibbous quality. Limb by limb, it appeared that he was sound enough, but the sum of these several members accrued to an unexpectedly twisted total. His face was pale like clay and save for his eyes, mask-like. These eyes were set very close together, and were small, dark red, and of startling concentration.

How poetic, Rooster! I'm impressed - must read Titus Groan.

Yes indeed!

Clarrie is a pompous bully, that talks down to people and comes across just as creepy as his 2 infamous clients, but his heavy duty connections with Murdoch/Sky News, et al, counteracted his shortcomings on the PR front. Knowing how the system works is his forte.

I don't know if pinky knew the pair were dodgy initially, and I'm not sure his ambitious butt would have cared, but I feel sure he didn't expect to end up on the MMU scrap heap (jmo).

I feel the coverup went into swing when the initial damning FSS results came in, and that was when some half asleep people sat bolt upright (imho), and the shocking FSS U-turn went into effect. By then the horse had already bolted and the McCanns gaffs were legion. It's been one embarrassing revelation after another since that day, and the Operation Grange Review is the Home Office's last ditch attempt to ram forth the abduction facade before Goncalo Amaral has his freedoms completely restored.
