Lorraine Kelly's Latest McCann Nonsense - 'The Sun'

Saturday October 12th 2013

 LORRAINE KELLY -  'The Sun'

In today's Column, Lorraine Kelly has her usual 100% defence of Gerry & Kate, & her usual attack on those who doubt them.
Lorraine seems to think that people dislike the McCann's for the sake of it - out of sheer, uncalled for bullying.

   She also claims that  Gonçalo Amaral  never looked for Madeleine, as he was 'too busy' writing his book about the 'Case'! 

   She seems to know very little about it all - only what Gerry & Kate have told her!  And - as always - she writes about Gerry & Kate
as if they are victims, who have done nothing wrong, only for them to get picked on by 'bullies'. She is laughably naïve.

   Lorraine says:,

  "I pray e-fit helps find Madeleine

   In the years since she disappeared off the face of the earth, Madeleine McCann's parents have never given up hope.

     They have both been vilified and even found themselves accused of murdering their beloved child.
   
     Conspiracy theorists have taken to Twitter and other social networking sites to compare outlandish theories and inflict
disgraceful attacks on Kate and Gerry.

   Somehow they have managed to endure all the foul trolls and hateful comments.  

I simply have no idea how they stay so strong and remain so positive that one day they will find their daughter and their
fractured family will be repaired.

     This week their hopes were raised again with the news that Scotland Yard detectives plan to release an e-fit image of a possible
suspect in Madeleine's abduction.

  Kate and Gerry will also be appearing on BBC's Crimewatch on Monday night to make a fresh appeal for information.

    I have met them both many times over the years and have always been struck by their dignity and gratitude to everyone
who tried to help in the hunt for their daughter.

  I cannot even begin to imagine what they have been going through during the past six years.

   It must be the last thing they think about when they go to sleep and the first when they wake up in the morning. To go
through life with that knot in your stomach, pain in your heart and never really having peace of mind is just too painful
to bear. But bear it they must.

  They have to take care of their twins, Sean and Amelie.

  Right now, the McCann's are in the middle of a libel case against the Portuguese detective who devoted more energy to
writing a book about the case than actually trying to find Madeleine.

      Pain

    He has made heinous accusations against Kate and Gerry.

    The claims have caused them enormous pain and distress - and spawned much of the ludicrous backlash against them both.

    If only the British coppers had been allowed to take charge of this investigation six years ago when the clues were still fresh.  

 There would have been a real chance of finding out what happened to Madeleine.

   We can only hope that this latest development will bring about the reunion we are all praying for.

    And that one day Madeleine will be found and returned to the arms of her parents".

 hermes333 and what a corker from Lorraine Kelly you have posted.

Even by her usual standards, this is absolutely abysmal.

Knowing so much about the couple as LK claims to you wonder why she didn't testify on their behalf at the libel trial  

Thanks for the article Hermes and welcome to the forum  

Quite frankly, I couldn't give a fig what Lorraine Kelly thinks about anything. She's hardly the brightest button in the tin.

If only the British coppers had been allowed to take charge of this investigation six years ago when the clues were still fresh.

There would have been a real chance of finding out what happened to Madeleine.

See a post I made earlier on the crimewatch thread:
When a British child is abducted in another country the British Ambassador for that country is mandated to ensure that the police act in the same way that the British police do in every respect and basically do what they are jolly well told to.

Fact is that like the PJ, the British police forces would have automatically suspected the parents as having been the last people to see the child, the only thing they would have done differently would have not permitted either to be present whist the other was being interviewed..

I know what you mean L de B - she wouldn't be the brightest button if she was the only one there.

Nevertheless, she is printing downright lies and there will be some people who believe her.

If she is a member of the National Union of Journalists, she must be breaching their guidelines.

     what an idiot,never have I laughed this much before. hey Lorraine don't forget to wipe your tongue:laugh: browns not the in colour

FACT - Lorraine Kelly :puke: is a highly paid TV presenter and newspaper columnist.

FACT - The Sun :puke: is the biggest selling paper in the UK.

Utterly unbelievable. That's modern Great Britain for you

Right now, the McCann's are in the middle of a libel case against the Portuguese detective who devoted more energy to
writing a book about the case than actually trying to find Madeleine.

Why did they not send her as their witness for the trial. She would have been perfect for their cause!

So now we have 3 external voices calling out loud "LUDICROUS".
Justine McGuinness, PinkyPonk and now Lorraine Kelly. It's so funny because in all of my years dating back to when I was born, I never really heard the word Ludicrous used, and as far as its meaning goes, it stems from the word for 'game'. So do they all have just the one page that they have to read off. Lorraine certainly seems more involved and complicit than she does a dispassionate interviewer.

He has made heinous accusations against Kate and Gerry.

This is utter nonsense written by Clarry for the mass public to bring sympathy to the Mcs ?
The libel trial is not going well for the Mcs and they know it, the media has been rampant in defending them both but I wonder what they will say when they loose the trial ?

How the F***ing F*** F*** can a backlash be described as "Ludicrous"? To Clarence the professional lying Bastrad Mitchell "You do not have any right whatsoever to tell people what to think". I cannot see that bimp Lorraine coming out with language of this nature but it appears she is dumb enough to say it. Perhaps like you she is just a bit too profile to call as a witness because she would certainly be destroyed under cross exam.
 

Mind you it is the learned readership of the Sun she is playing to., that lot would believe anything even down to "we hired a babysitter but she had gone to the loo in the 1 minute window (don't mention shutters) that the abductor needed and we didn't want her to get into trouble because the PJ have a reputation of raping women in custody to get them to make a statement".

Lorraine's article clearly shows she has done no actual research on this case or bothered to read the PJ files - or if she has she is knowingly trying to mislead the public with her lies and smears. By saying Amaral has devoted more energy to writing a book about the case than actually trying to find Madeleine, that is a clear case of Libel.
 
She states he has made heinous accusations against Kate and Gerry causing them enormous pain and distress.  What he has said about Kate and Gerry has been Factual based on the investigation and based on PJ files. She makes no reference to the pain and distress caused to a decent hardworking copper who devoted over and above what he needed to do in pursuit of truth and justice in this case to try and solve what happened to Madeleine and give Madeleine a voice. She makes no reference to the pain and distress the McCann accusations have made against Amaral on him, his wife and his children, so I would say that makes Lorraine a rather big hypocrite with false concern about one child - Madeleine - but no concern for the innocent victims involved in this case - the children of Goncalo Amaral.
 
She makes reference to being struck by Mccanns dignity and gratitude to everyone who has tried to help in the hunt for their daughter - once again showing her ignoring the Facts of this case that Kate has made many comments about nobody looking for Madeleine when not only have the Police spent hours of their time but the residents of PDL, some of them even taking time off work to join the search. She conveniently forgets to mention that it was the Mccanns who did not search.
 
She says if only the British coppers had been allowed to take charge of this investigation six years ago when clues were still fresh there would have been a real chance of finding out what happened to Madeleine.  She fails to mention that if Kate had bothered to answer the Police questions, if the couple and mates had not told numerous different versions of what happened, if they had not told lies, - then there may have been a real chance of finding out what happened to Madeleine. she conveniently says nothing about the interference of the British Government who refused to cooperate with the Portuguese Police - but understandable she keeps quiet about that when her mate Gordon involved.
 
She seems to have no knowledge that the British cops Were in PDL helping with the investigation and it was their input which contributed to the Mccanns being made suspects.
 
She comments on attacks against the Mccanns but says nothing about the fact that for six years the Mccanns fans have made personal attacks, threats, and stalked anyone who dares to speak out and cast doubt on the abduction story. Makes no reference on the personal attacks Mccanns have made against Tony Bennett, Pat Brown and anyone who dares to question them.
 
Lorraine says she hopes that Madeleine will be found and returned to the arms of her parents - I am sure we would all love Madeleine to be found alive and well but would we want her returned to the arms of her parents! Parents who couldn't be bothered to answer questions even when told by Police to refuse to do so could harm the investigation, parents who put their own selfish selves before Madeleine, parents who have told lies, numerous versions of what happened, parent who clearly has such a disturbed mind to write what she did on Page 129 of her book, parents who cant wait to commercialise and market and make money from their own daughter, parents who highlighted Madeleine's eye defect even when told it could put her in danger, would we really want that for Madeleine, or would we prefer if found alive she had a loving caring honest decent home with parents who loved her for her, not for what they could make out of her and parents who would put her care and safety above everything else.
 
Lorraine Kelly is an absolute disgrace to British journalism, her unbalanced, biased and libellous article needs to be reported not only to Goncalo Amaral but to the Press Commission. It is people like her who has a high media presence that can influence the British public and the lies and misinformation she is spreading, and has done so for some considerable time, needs to be stopped. People like Wendy Murphy former US prosecutor is someone who puts people like Lorraine to shame.
 
At the end of the day she is doing nothing for the quest for truth and justice for Madeleine and ultimately the person she is disrespecting and letting down is Madeleine herself. Shame on Lorraine Kelly!

Well said Cherry - brilliant post!

Terrific post Cherry. Thank you for taking the time to write this.

Lorraine Kelly is a mercenary for courting popularity to keep her in the ratings. She's shallow, don't be conned into thinking she gives a flying F**k about the McCanns. She's just using them.

So well said Cherry. The questions that KM wouldn't answer - OMG you would do anything to get your child back if you were genuine.

Cherry,  

@Cherry - well said.  I`m too flabbergasted to respond.  Only to say Gonçalo has a good case for libel there.

Thank you posters   I posted it on MM and copied over here. Just makes me so angry that people like Lorraine spreading misinformation like this and there are people out there who will believe it. Totally unprofessional of her attacking Amaral and she has made herself look totally ridiculous to anyone who knows the facts of the case.

Och wee Kelly would not have been able to give evidence in Portugal because I remember when Mrs. sat on the settee before running the marathon.   Wee Kelly said something like, hi good to see you again, it's been a while but we will catch up later.   So I take it they are not in regular contact? ( The utube vid. which was posted by Candyfloss but whooshed because of "copyright" issues appartently.)

Wee Kelly flatters everyone, oh you are so beautiful blah blah and the celebs soak it up.   I remember seeing her on the BBC2 Apprentice show this year.  It's the programme where people vote if a particular apprentice hopeful should have been voted off.

Alan Sugar normally says why he voted a particular apprentice off.    What was wee Kelly's contribution when she was asked - you got it - I agree with Lord Sugar (or something similar).

How she ever got on there I  don't know, but it seems the same faces get the jobs switching from channel to channel.   Keep in at all costs by the look of it.   Well stuff that, I wouldn't want to be any part of this show biz malarky.

Great post Cherry; I hope it can be taken further.

Lorraine close to Gordon and wife, also connected to Missing people charity of which Kate ambassador

Fiona Phillips does the adverts for Postcode lottery and I think they donate to the Missing Person charity.   Small world "celeb land" isn't it.

I still have a good, quiet laugh to myself when I think of wee Kelly dressed up as Audrey Hepburn.   ha ha ha.

It gave me great pleasure to make a complaint to the PCC. Lorraine Kelly is such a gullible fool, fine if she's a private individual but not acceptable for someone with such a huge influence. A shame that such brainless and biased people can be such massive influencers...but that's the culture we've got and it's not getting any better.

I don't hold out much hope from complaining to Crimewatch or The Press Complaints Commission, but lets see.

Well done Prof Plum.

Self explanatory but it looks as though Aled Jones is taking the fall for the poor viewing figures?   Two presenters on the show and only one possibly being given the elbow.  Why?

I wonder what she'll do when the truth comes out.

I Haven't read all the comments but all I can say is that woman really needs to read the files. TOO BUSY WRITING A BOOK? Dear Ms Kelly, Amaral had been removed from the case when he wrote his book based on THE FACTS IN THE FILES, unlike your heroine's ass-saving novella. 
As for 'pity the Brit police...' What Deadwood and co? P-lease! How wish Portugal would sue over this xenophobic crud -but then they have more dignity than some.
Ms Kelly are you paid to write such utter..... or have brain at all?

I wonder also Ms Kelly had I, as a single mum in a council house, sat on your lovely sofa and admitted to leaving my kids alone  to go to the pub at the end of the road, be lauded in such a way? I think I would have been told I was selfish at best and deserved all the 'abuse' got on Twitter etc.

As a journo you have responsibilities - one of which is do your research and GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!!!

Good post rainbow-fairy.

Here's a very sincere question I'd like to ask Lorraine Kelly:

Have the McCanns/Limited Company ever been paid to sit on your sofa and give interviews?
