I know this argument could be applied to many threads, I tend to fine it isn't as bad on non football threads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point is to question what you are told in the press. Now I have joined, I may well take part in other discussions, but it was this topic that made me want to become a member. If that makes my contribution any less valid, I apologise. Jim Gamble is part of the problem, mate, although he seems to be doing a bit of backtracking these days. ...and I didn't mention your TLDR contribution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The British media are lieing about the case. For example, Jim Gamble has never been an investigating officer in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann., although he did provide support to the family from an early stage Paolo Reis has recently published a book on the subject of how the case has been covered in the British media. https://themccannswar.blogspot.com/ Reading it led me to question why there was such a campaign of disinformation from the McCann camp. Why are they so keen to smear others and block any discussion that goes against their version of events?

You don't need to be Colombo to see what a crock the whole thing is. "In one of the most flagrant cases, Martin Fricker and Rod Chaytor of the "Daily Mirror" signed a laudatory piece on May 5, highlighting the fact that the entire 5-story building was sealed by police with the usual blue and white ribbons, and that fingerprints had been collected from the blinds and window of Madeleine's bedroom. The article noted that even the rear yard area had been sealed off by police: “Officers sealed off the five story holiday block with crime scene tape and fingerprinted the shutters and window sill outside Maddy's room. A patio to the rear of the block, believed to be attached to the family's two-bedroom apartment, was also sealed off”. During the afternoon, still according to the same article, the searches had intensified, with helicopters, firemen and elements of the Maritime Police. "A special Judicial Police team was on its way from Lisbon," added the Daily Mirror article, which quoted Sky News weather news presenter Jo Wheeler in Praia da Luz as reporting in the newspaper that the searches "were very well organized". The same Martin Fricker, this time with the journalist Stewart Maclean, penned another article, on May 9, where there is a list of the "ten great blunders" committed by the Portuguese police in the first hours after the disappearance is made. In this list, there is totally contradictory information about the first article in the Daily Mirror on 5 May. In this second story, it is stated that the apartment had not been sealed: “Officers failed to cordon off the holiday apartment where Maddy was snatched as soon as they arrived. Amazingly, other tourists were allowed to stroll around the crime scene up to 24 hours later - potentially destroying clues and contaminating forensic evidence."" Paulo Reis: 'The McCann War'.

As long as the buggers don't try to delete it from my Kindle. They did that a few years ago with copies of Orwell's 1984, due to some confusion over who owned the rights. People who had purchased it perfectly legally found it had vanished off their devices, and that included any notes they had taken if they were reading it for school or university. Amazon later apologised but that didn't bring the notes back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
