I think a lot of their problems stem from being just so naturally unlikeable, although Gerry vastly more so out of the pair of them. They've both got voices that could curdle milk, for a start, and despite being doctors neither of them come across as the brightest pencils in the box. They are victims of circumstance, yes, but largely of their own making.

I would feel sorry for the McCanns if I believed their story as, goodness knows I did some stupid things as a first-time parent (and only having one child, I didn't have the chance to be less stupid the second time round!) but, in the circumstances where they have been economical with the truth from the start and reacted viciously to people who don't believe them, then no - the twins are the only ones deserving sympathy.

They've created this mess and they need to be held accountable for it. Sorry, but that's just my opinion.

Whatever happens now, the show must come to an end. One way or another.

I do feel sad, when you look at the films where they had everything, and think how they threw it all away.

They risked their long term happiness for an evening of superficial fun with people they did not even know that well.

They are not happy now. They would probably have been happier if they had told the truth, the fall out would be well and truly over by now, and they could have moved on.

So, yes, I think I am sad for them, they have consistently made the wrong choices, chosen pride over truth, themselves over the children, and they have made their own hell of constant fear and no one who can be trusted.

When Kate said that she wanted Amaral to feel fear it was because that is the emotion she has felt since 2007.

I feel even more sad for all the people whose lives have been adversely affected by all their evil choices, they are leaving a trail of victims in behind them. No one matters, as long as they can make themselves feel safe. For a little while, then the next threat pops up.

Poe Tue 25 Apr 2017, 11:10 am

I have no sympathy for Kate or Gerry.

They tried to destroy Mr Amaral, innocent people, both suspects and witnesses, have had their lives torn apart because they were in PdL, little girls have been hounded simply for having blonde hair and a passing resemblance to Madeleine not to mention the psychological damage to the twins and the extended Healy/McCann family.

If they are subdued, it's because they've lost to Mr Amaral, they no longer have an iron grip on the media and OG is still ongoing. If they are suffering, it is a suffering of their own making. At any time, one or both of them could have said "enough is enough", gone to the police and told them everything. It wouldn't have been easy, doing the right thing rarely is. The choice to continue the charade was theirs.

I suppose the Brenda Leyland situation was unforgivable but the family only produced the dossier; the explanation for why the entire MSM decided to coordinate in running with it is still sadly lacking. Still for me one of the most bizarre and troubling events of my lifetime.

Very rarely you see Sky News reporting on this sort of stuff....

mumof6 Tue 25 Apr 2017, 1:37 pm

I truly hope that those reporting on the 'story' over the next couple of weeks will have a conscience. Even if little consideration for Gerry and me is shown, they will at least bear in mind the effect such unfounded and unwarranted negativity could have on our other children - and of course Madeleine.

What sort of unfounded negativity? There has not yet been any.

So, what sort of unfounded negativity is on the way?

Dee Coy Tue 25 Apr 2017, 1:55 pm

Interesting that this is not an appeal for restraint from the usual McCann critics - us "trolls", if you like.

This is an appeal to those who will be writing the story to come, as yet unknown by us but which the McCanns believe will be negative for them. They are appealing, then, for journalists to have a conscience towards the twins. This means they feel they will be no consideration for the parents themselves.

Blimey. What are they expecting?

The people who could keep the media in line with Carter-Ruck are now reduced to using the twins to hide behind.
In fact, they are coming very close to asking nicely.

Does that mean that they have already attempted to squash the "unfounded negativity" in court, and been told they can't? That, surely, would be their first move, before asking nicely?

This was featured on the ITV news today it was about a 3 minute segment,the Officer in charge in Portugal was also speaking.

It can be seen on plus one at 2 30 and i think it's the 3rd item in.

There was some noise on twitter that the 'Find Madeleine' Website has been taken down.

It appears it has unless it's just a glitch......

I tried two different browsers and get nothing - not even a dead link message.
Interesting.

Andrew Tue 16 May 2017, 9:05 am

Yeah just a completely blank page for me as well.

Doesn't it usually say something though if a website has been taken down... Some error message at least... scratch
