'UTTER RUBBISH' Kate and Gerry McCann slam claims they are plotting to make hundreds of thousands out of 10th anniversary of Maddie’s disappearance

A friend claims Kate and Gerry McCann have been offered huge bids for an exclusive interview

So who was this supposed "friend"?

And does this not now tell everyone (in light of their furious denials) that anyone quoted as an anonymous "friend" of the fragrant couple (be it helpful to them or not) cannot be considered reliable in the least? (we already knew that, but this now means the McCanns themselves can never again fall back on "a friend" to confirm or deny anything on their behalf, or even provide "helpful" information to the press)

Do you think they have any 'friends'....

I suspect they have very few indeed, if any.... they lie the whole time...have not integrity.. they are responsible, imo, for their daughter's death....they will carry on being complete idiots,,,they really are....scary...and they know it.

'It's not just Amaral but all the anti's spouting their nonsense. Kate and Gerry can't silence them all but their lawyers will be looking at any they feel are potentially libellous and damaging.'

What a load of bollox. Their lawyers can't do diddly squat. And they know it. I don't even think they have any lawyers anyway. Not now their skint.

Do any of these stories ever make the print edition or are they online only? They just seem to be rehashing the same thing over and over again. And surely even a Sun reader is bright enough to notice that the paper is repeating itself?

It was in the print edition yesterday when I inadvertently picked up a copy of the Daily Star in the evening.

Well they did run out of toilet roll.

They're definitely trying to 'educate' their readers.

As much as they can currently get away with anyway.

Oh what a difference ten years makes!!

ROCK legend Sir Elton John is being lined up to front a global pop concert, to carry the message of missing Madeleine McCann’s plight to every corner of the earth.

It is hoped the singer will headline a huge series of worldwide events to mark a special Madeleine Day that her distraught parents are planning in the effort to find the vanished four-year-old. Sir Elton’s popular appeal is guaranteed to attract a swarm of other film and music superstars keen to offer support to parents Gerry and Kate McCann.

The couple, having promised not to return home until they are reunited with Madeleine, are now planning a series of visits to European and North African cities, to distribute posters and widen the appeal for information.

Sir Elton has played an emotional DVD of Madeline at his concerts, but now believes a larger effort would do more to raise awareness of her predicament.

Gerry McCann, 38, said: “One of the ideas is maybe getting all the people who have publicly supported us to come together. I don’t just mean from the UK but from different parts of the world. We want a big event to raise awareness that she is still missing.

“We would look at high-profile people who have already pledged support. It will be some sort of focus around an anniversary, to tell people thatMadeleine ’s still missing. I think it would be later this year, once media attention has dropped, to bring it back up, hopefully, for a short period.

“It wouldn’t be a one-year anniversary, it will be sooner than that. What we’re doing at the minute has its role but doing that down the line in a few months won’t have anything like the same impact. We might have a sporting event, something arts, something music.

"We’ve had backing from sporting people up to now. We have had backing from certain musical celebrities as well. We’ve got some other musical contacts that we are exploring, who are happy to offer support.

“We’re not saying it would necessarily be one big concert, it might be that on a certain day they are playing her DVD.

“What we want at the current time is maximum message out there now, about her disappearance but then just events to bring it back up occasionally just to remind people, if she’s not found.”

A month after the sleeping Madeleine was snatched from her bed, Gerry and Kate McCann have betrayed the first signs that their hopes of finding her alive are starting to fade.

The couple confessed that they are haunted by the harrowing thought of her being held captive by a pervert. Still desperately clinging toMadeleine ’s pink Cuddle Cat, 38-year-old Kate said: “We don’t know where she is. We’d like to think she’s still in Portugal, she might still be in Portugal.

“But we know there’s a possibility she’s gone over the border – or several borders. We know there are bad people out there, but we know there are also a lot of sad people. We hope it’s the latter.”

Gerry added: “Of course we believe Madeleine is still alive but you would be incredible if you hadn’t considered the worst scenario, that she’s dead.

“Kate and I discuss it – not a lot, but we talk about hope, and that while there’s some we will not give up. At the minute, there’s loads of hope.”

I noticed on one of the news articles from yesterday it had a still picture from GA's video of 'Smithman'.

I was wondering what the McCann's leading defence lawyer, Tony Bennett, thinks of that.....

... Also just started reading Textusa's blog and got to this point:

To the laypeople, the conclusion was a very simple one to reach: the man who Martin Smith saw was Gerry Smith carrying Maddie.

That sentence alone is enough to give Tony Bennett a coronary.

I hope he's got some doctors on hand.

Of course he has.

.... Just read a bit more.

Will sit back now and watch Tony Bennett's desperate rebuttal of it.

Can't find the popcorn emoji.

Oh dear, let's hope he doesn't choke over his cornflakes.

I can't wait for his response to this one!

A great tune.

Just read that back to myself.

Gerry Smith

Do you know, pedantic old git as I am, I didn't notice that!

Ha!

So Textusa doesn't believe Martin Smith saw Gerry McCann. Obviously he saw Gerry Smith the notorious, wicked black sheep of the Smith family.

Funny typo though

It is great tho....when we are on another thread every one seems able both to read and understand textusa when it suits....something have always known but never had confirmed!!
