Re: McCanns to appear in libel trial on Monday 16 June
THE BIG GIVEAWAY - not using the assembled cameras of the world to send a direct message to Madeleine. Most will be left askance at that lost opportunity. Particularly from a couple so versed in good marketing ploys.
And what did we hear instead? Whine, whine, whine, - a tick list of inconvenient domestic arrangements. Is this what they meant by Goncalo trying to wear them down? Booking flights, 5* hotels and arranging child care. Should prove a doddle for GA if that's what gets them going.
Weren't there veritable flocks of helpers in 2007 - so many they had to be organised on a rota system. Surely they haven't made themselves scarce when they are so urgently needed.
What a debacle! They really showed themselves in their true light. And so soon after the Algarve was being dug up for their daughter's body. A time when they SHOULD have been arranging flights and hotels to be right there on Portuguese soil. But they chose to stay at home. Speaks volumes doesn't it? Poor Madeleine.

On the Mirror page there is a slightly different video. You see Izzy-Whizzy-Not-So-Busy beetling out a tad before them and heading off in the opposite direction. Looked a bit sheepish to my eye.
I think she increasingly has the look of someone with a heavy albatross round the neck.

Eta. The photo below the video shows her in background shot. She seems to have press around her.

Re: McCanns to appear in libel trial on Monday 16 June
They've got a cheek! Moaning about Amaral inconveniencing them. I expect it's been pretty inconvenient for him the past few years, what with having his assets frozen and being dumped from his job. All because of this pair of....(insert rude word here)

The McCann's next move will be through the courts " rights to a family life ". claim all the negative coverage is denying them this basic human right .
It will also serve to have G'A's book prevented from being serialised by a tabloid .
Still the message is getting out there , and having no body is against them.

Thank you. Thank you for making this very important point which I intended to make yesterday. It is quite telling that they failed to use the opportunity to ask for Maddie to be returned even when prompted by journalists asking if the couple still believed Maddie was alive.

It could have been a lady in the final stages of a terminal illness who had chosen her mode of disposal and maybe even the music she wanted and where here ashes were to be sprinkled or interred. So it could be said she was facing her cremation as she was facing death'No Fate Worse Than De'Ath wrote:Clay: it does rather sound as if she wasn't dead at the time - now that's a horrible thought!

I am quite disgusted at the way the UK press still "fawn" over the Mccann's - and yes, it could be the press are just playing a waiting game and staying on the "side" of the Mccann's.
Whilst still being disgusted at the way it has portrayed Mr Amaral, I can see it is still managing to get the information out to the public at the same time as looking very supportive to the poor parents plight.
This case has really opened my eyes over the last 7 years as to how low the UK press will sink to get a story on its front pages just make money by selling nonsense and untrue stories to the majority of the unsuspecting and trusting public ( people who think the papers must be right simply because it has printed a story ) and when the tide turns ? The very same papers report the stories and make even more money !
The Mccann's CHOSE to tell the world they left their kids alone ( whether they actually did is another matter ) and, for that disgraceful behaviour ? They have since been fawned over and treated like celebrities in the UK for the last 7 years, and why ? Because due to good PR, onesided press reports, and interviews, the public have been conditioned to believe it is only the nasty, evil and unkind people who question the Mccann's totally unsupported claims of abduction.
I do so hope Mr Amaral wins this trial and maybe, just maybe, the tide will turn and the whole truth of what happened to the Mccann's little girl will eventually be solved. All my opinion only.

Yes, it was. The lawyer was called out of the Court room in the middle of the session as he had to rush to the hospital to be with him.

Newintown, for anyone wanting the lowdown, you gave a great answer on page 8 of the British police hide evidence thread in response to my same question as NFWTD (re GA's supposed 4 postponements). Thanks again.

I was responding to HelenMeg's post on that page. Maybe I misread the last paragraph, hope I did.
I too would happily donate, GA has been treated appallingly. His crime? Doing his job properly.
Oh Ok thanks. I will be donating too!

Re: McCanns to appear in libel trial on Monday 16 June
There has been pages and pages devoted to how the Mccann's portrayed themselves on the court steps yesterday ...so just to add to what has been said by some of the other posters....... They had the world stage so had the best chance to get a loving and caring message out to their daughter - but didn't so WHY ? Probably didn't occur to them !
Bet they both kicking themselves or eachother today for the "rash" remarks they both came out with because they were unable to contain their anger - at least we got to see what happens when they dont get chance to rehearse the answers to pre-scripted questions I suppose ! all my opinion only.

And all the 'pros' started screaming immediately that 'Amaral's bottled it' 'He's running away because he's scared' 'Gutless spineless Amaral can't face innocent McCanns' etc.,
Of course, when it transpired that that 'postponement' had nothing to do with GA, but it was because his lawyers son was ill, did we hear 'apologies' from the sychos?
er, NO!
(and BTW the McCanns own lawyer AGREED, on that occaision, that the session SHOULD be postponed!)
Let's hope that the McCanns, or either of their children, are not ill, and the case postponed because of that.
Would THAT be reported/broadcast in the UK Madia?

Re: McCanns to appear in libel trial on Monday 16 June
Going by the vast majority of comments in the Daily Mail yesterday, most of the public have now figured out that the McCanns' 'search' is for money, that they'll leave 'no stone unturned' in their pursuit of it. There were even calls for them to give any money they might eventually win to Scotland Yard as they're now searching for Madeleine, and isn't that what the McCanns say they want the money for? The tide is turning among the public, IMO; naked greed is a very ugly thing indeed.
As for their performance yesterday - most enlightening! Gerry's looks of exasperation as Kate kept on ranting were hilarious, especially as she committed her massive faux pas about the children needing to be looked after. It's quite strange to watch someone show such uncontrolled bitterness and fury in an interview, especially as this was the woman who said she could forgive her daughter's abductor. She could forgive the abductor, even while she wrote in her book about what he might have done to her daughter, yet she shows endless hatred towards the policeman who searched for that daughter, but who ultimately came to believe there was no abduction - what is wrong with this woman? Does she really care more for her own reputation (in tatters now, I'd say) than she does for her own children?
I know one thing - I'd love to have been a fly inside that car they got into after the interview yesterday, I think Gerry would've been worth listening to!

Re: McCanns to appear in libel trial on Monday 16 June
I am sure that there is someone on this forum with up-to-date legal knowledge.
It strikes me that, assuming that the McCanns did not gain the required permission from the High Court to represent Maddie in their legal action against Amaral, shouldn't the High Court take action against the McCanns for breaching the terms of the WOC status?
The High Court should be taking action against the McCanns in order to protect Maddie's interests, since her interests are vested with the High Court.
Anyone know?

I doubt they could say anything in the car in case the driver would run to the media with it.

Added to that...every time they go out they must always be wondering what people really think of them, ( image seems to be important to them ) right down to the ones who "show" their support - not knowing whether even those people are talking about them behind their backs.

Re: McCanns to appear in libel trial on Monday 16 June
I would like to reassure Mr and Mrs McCann that even though I have read the theories in the police files and Amaral's book (and suspect that Mr Amaral has arrived at the correct conclusion) that it would not stop me in any way searching for Madeleine or passing on any relevant details that I became aware of to the police.
Madeleine has received so much publicity over the years (not least from Amaral) that I assume that many others would still report anything suspicious that they noticed as well. I don't think they need to be too concerned that Amaral has impeded the search for their daughter.

Munchausen by proxy syndrome, a mental illness where the parent causes or fabricates symptoms in a child. The adult, in most cases it is the mother, is seeking attention and sympathy. Some experts also believe that it isn't just the attention that's gained but also the satisfaction in deceiving individuals who they consider to be more important and powerful than themselves. Popes and PMs are all pretty important and powerful!

A leak?
GA and his lawyer have been through a lot together and should imagine are very close friends now too.
It was a plan. A tactic. Agreed by both GA and his lawyer.
They both know exactly what they are doing and what the game plan is.
I'm sure we will all find out very soon as well.
