Can I post here?

Cif posting here:->

Look seriously! Calm down! I only heard of this because Guido mentioned it in a puppy dog way ‘cos you Guardian guys threw him a bone.
Pointless article, maybe the court transcriptions are elsewhere on this site, but where is the evidence that the otherwise febrile twittering actually had any bearing on this case?
What you are witnessing here is the realisation of wha” twitter”and other future pseudo transparent sites are about.

They will tell you at the most glossy level what is “going on”, but the underlying gritty stuff is never real, think about it: do you yourself want to give away all your negotiating thoughts?

It is certain that the Guardian and Mr Rushbridger have had many conversations that have never even brushed the possibility of being allowed to be surmised in the papers articles let alone being leaked through a tweet.

But they pretend otherwise and insult intelligent thought in general.

Anything is real now.

Once a thought has been decided, in some London bar it can be decided, post hoc, to have been leaked by any media who pays the best

Your post is typical of the distortion either absorbed from Team McCann unconsciously or or which is deliberately disseminated – and which perpetuates itself because of the injunctions and the media lock down.

1. The offensive description of the professional Portugese police as “plods” is not backed up by the facts. The investigation was very thorough and very extensive as shown by the thousands of pages of evidence now available on the internet.

2. There is no evidence that the police were “complicit” in Madeleine’s disappearance as you claim.

3. There is absolutely no evidence that an abduction took place.

4. Far from being hounded from the beginning the McCanns were the recipients of a huge amount of good will and cash at the beginning.

5. Inspector Amaral has never accused them of killing their daughter. And very few people do. However it serves the McCanns to pretend that is the allegation being made.

6. Low profile/high profile is neither here nor there. What is relevant is why they are not giving their full backing to the Sunday Express’s call for a proper UK Police investigation and why they have never thought to do so before now. That will free up millions of pounds to aid the search for Madeleine – far more than they can now raise – and would involve professional Police detectives with relevant experience undertaking the work.

However, this is not the place to discuss all aspects of the McCann case. This is the place to make the point that we cannot engage in a proper discussion because of the injunctions and super injunctions. Joshua Rosenberg confirmed this morning on BBC radio that there were a number of such injunctions in place about which the public knows nothing. He could well have been referring to the McCann case.

But my first thought on reading that account of how she ‘manages’on so little money, was that a majority of pensioners in this country, exp elderly divorcees (myself included), have to manage on that sort of money – and we don’t get our fuel bills paid! And that’s after a lifetime of work (paid and unpaid) in this country.
