Then there was the journalist who had worked with Clarrie on the Soham murders, possibly already in PdL.
I'll continue tomorrow, but this Pyatt looks an awful lot like the fat man in the playground photo.

Do you mean the man with the very bendy knees Tigger? I thought he was coloured!

No, I don't think he was coloured, looks a lot like him though, it's just because this blessed woman Lori ? was on the scene very quickly and I'd seen something on a forum that she was there before the 3rd of May. So if she was there before zero hour, could he have a connection with Lori?

Meanwhile to carry on about checking fora and journalists:

quote from link below:
DUARTE Levy writes on the case of Madeleine McCann. He alleges that that Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns’ PR adviser, is “using the Government’s services to keep watch on journalists and forum participants.” Says Mr Levy:

Clarence Mitchell, the McCann’s PR adviser and spokesman, continues to make use of the British government’s services despite having officially resigned from his position as director of the Media Monitoring Unit*. The accusation comes from a Home Office source who has stated that the outgoing director had called upon his former service to keep a watch not only on several journalists but also on the behaviour of participants in a list of forums and blogs considered to be “highly detrimental to the image of the McCanns and that of the British government”.

Can what Mr Levy alleges be true? And if it is, why would it be a big deal for the McCanns’ spokesman to keep an eye on the web, and get what help he can? Mr Levy continues:

Clarence Mitchell, a former journalist for the Daily Express and the BBC, was seconded by the Foreign Office to act as a liaison officer between the media and Madeleine’s parents. Through the intermediary of the respective British embassies, it was he who organised the McCann’s visits to the Vatican, Madrid, Berlin, Amsterdam and Rabat.

Since the very early days, media monitoring has been an important part of Clarence Mitchell’s work. While the McCann’s were in Praia da Luz, it was he who decided to separate journalists according to nationality: the British first, and the Portuguese last.

Today, the McCann’s PR campaign relies more than ever on monitoring public opinion: over the past few days several UK forums and blogs have been shut down due to “anti-McCann” comments. Amongst them is the Mirror newspaper’s forum, which erased all comments about the case without warning when the participants started to debate Home Office interference.

No response from Mr Mitchell is quoted in Mr Levy’s email to us. But why did the Daily Mirror close its forum? Anyone from those forums care to tell us what they know? unquote

Considering this was published in feb 2008, it's rather amazing that this gag is still firmly in place. So if I got this right, the government paid for the monitoring of fora from the start.

Then I'm looking for a video from a young blonde journalist(e) who went out to PdL and on arriving decided all was not well with the fairy tale, stated so clearly on video and never heard of again.

Hi tigger.

Your last sentence gave me a flashback. Not sure if this the video you talk about but remember it because it was two women from my local radio station and they sound like something really fishy is going on.
