Re: General anniversary topic
Random long shot...
Anyone remember the two Leicester radio presenters who visited PDL and did a little investigating? I remember specifically because at the wrap-up at the end where one was asked what she thought, she was very, very nervous and cagey and not wanting to say anything. Always wondered about them but they completely disappeared never to be heard from again. I'm thinking the title of their video was something like 6 months gone (but could be my imagination!). I really can't remember their names and it is doing my head in!
Would love to know what they think 15 years on.

I think I know the one you mean. They gave the impression - or maybe said it outright - that there was more to the case than we were being told.
They were probably banished to Siberia!

Re: General anniversary topic
I found a video! "6 Months Gone" was the correct title.
The really juicy bit is from ~1:55 to ~2:25
ETA: I should add their names so I don't forget again. Yvonne Radley and Klara Lethbridge

Well done! I'll watch that soon. I've looked up those names. Klara L is now a trainee lawyer at Liverpool John Moores University. The other name is more common and I can't yet find one who is definitely the same person.

After a quick search I'm pretty sure she is the boot camp fitness lady up in Notts. Interesting that Klara is training/trained to be a lawyer. Wonder what kind?

This stuff from near the time is golden. Jill Renwick sticking it to the Police at that juncture; what was she on?

Re: General anniversary topic
Talking of early events which are now mind-blowing, what about this one from Uncle John, six days after his niece was "abducted by paedophiles", looking as if he had won the Lottery.

I think the word 'extraordinary' just about covers it, Freedom.

Amelie joins in the 16th anniversary events
Lots of news coverage of this - the penny hasn't dropped yet for poor Amelie!

I can't read this for the sake of my blood pressure but perhaps someone could sum it up - other than in one word, garbage!

Re: General anniversary topic
Interestingly, Amelie's twin Sean did not attend this 16th anniversary. Why?
And the other thing I learnt, from the press coverage is that Kate (now 55) is a medical worker with dementia sufferers. Why not a 'doctor' with dementia sufferers? I think the phrase medical worker was used several years ago. is she still on the register of qualified and active doctors? Medical worker is a vague term.

Yes, Kate is on the medical register.

I wonder if Sean has stopped believing in fairy tales.

Your link says she is on the GP register BUT under this it states ' this doctor is subject to revalidation'
Surely if she was entitled to use the term Dr (meaning a medical doctor) and she is working with (whether paid or unpaid) people with dementia she would use the term Doctor/ Also the media would refer to her as Dr Kate McCann automatically. They must have used the term medical worker in their recent press releases.

Re: General anniversary topic
Is there anything straightforward in this case?!
The term medical worker seems to be a generic term: "What is another name for a medical worker? A person in the medical profession. practitioner. doctor. physician. general practitioner".
Perhaps it's more common in America than here?

Re: General anniversary topic
I have never heard the term medical worker used in the UK or Ireland. I mean if you are a medical doctor you call yourself a doctor, if you are a nurse you call yourself a nurse and so on for physios etc. If you work in a hospital doing the filing of medical records and typing medical reports - are you a 'medical worker'?
It puzzles me why Kate and her PR team have made the decision for her not to be referred to as a (medical) doctor and used this vague term which could mean someone much less qualified than she is.

Another skim through article for the sake of my blood pressure. The nameless friend spoke to The Sun so it all must be true! Kate only returned to full-time work within the last two years.

Re: General anniversary topic
Kates not happy.
4th May, 2023
I am writing this message to the media in general. I expect it may not appear in print or on-line but hope that it will spark a conscience in some.
As we do every year, we gathered in our village yesterday evening to mark the anniversary of our daughter Madeleine’s abduction. It was a special event and lovely to sense the hope and warmth of those who were there.
I was dismayed, however, that this sadly provided an opportunity for a local journalist to exploit the presence of our younger daughter who does not wish to be photographed or interviewed and was made to feel uncomfortable, especially at such a special moment of hope for Madeleine.
Our son and daughter turned eighteen this year - but I truly hope this will not make them targets for those journalists looking to make financial gain.
Please can I appeal to you that you respect our children’s privacy and let them live their lives.

Pass the sick bag.
If Kate were sincere about this, and worried about media intrusion, she would have suggested to Amelie that she didn't go, or went in a hoodie etc so hard to recognise her. Her twin Sean did not go, so he didn't get photographed. I'd love to know why he didn't go - maybe he doesn't believe his parents version of Madeleine's disappearance?

It would be nice if Kate had a conscience which could be sparked!
