I agree she hasn't got a lot of clout there but seen her on press review last week and she just would not let newsreader move on until she questioned new mccann info.
I didn't like her before but find she is trying to leak things out a bit..

They are indeed few and far between, but I use them as an example of people who steadfastly believe the story.

Irony, innuendo, reading between the lines, whatever we want to call it, is lost on those who sat with their breakfasts reading the article. There are many people who believe what is written in the press quite simply because it is there.

It's not an attack or a criticism of the writer.  I simply think journalists should have the balls to tell it like it is or not bother reporting at all.  

In a discussion with an acquaintance recently, I mentioned I did not believe in the burglar story.  This caused a heated debate by the other party which resulted in them losing the plot and telling me I was jealous of Kate McCann.  I'm still trying to figure that argument out  

Being jealous of Kate is an old pro argument Sami, something that I think originated from Kate herself, or at least from her Mother, when asking people to show more sympathy - her slim body, etc, too yucky to recall.  Might have been better if she had focused on the trauma Kate was experiencing as the mother of a missing a child for sympathy, rather than the perfection of her daughter's physique.  Some might say both Kate and Gerry show psychopathic traits, imagining people are jealous of them would be one of them.

Sami,

To be jealous of someone means you want to be them. Would you want to be KM? Thought not :)

To my shame, twice in my life I have found myself completely agreeing with Kate.  When she stated

"I couldn't make love to Gerry".   Neither could I frankly.

The second was "it's dreadful living with this void".  Not a nice thing to call Gerry but again I sympathise.
