If so, how do you think we'll do it?
What do you think the repercussions/outcome will be?
If not, why do you think we won't?

Why do the anti-McCann clan believe that the McCanns are going to be questioned by the Social Work Department when they return to the UK.
As I see it there can only be 3 possibilities
1]They are so embroilled in their anger they are totally blind to the fact that since there was no crime commited in the UK and therefore the SWD have absolutely no authority to question them at all!
2]They think a couple of thousand people signing a petition will in some magical way have an immediate change in the law thereby allowing the SWD to question them. Total fantacists, under European legislation this is an impossibility! Bear in mind the million+ who signed a petition to stop us going to war, very effective indeed!
3]They are hard of thinking! Believing that just because they want something to happen, then it will!I totally agree that the McCanns were wrong to leave there children unattended and I know almost all believe this but that won't change the law, no matter how much you want it to!

She was returned home fine and everything but I was wondering if anyone knew any of the details surrounding the case, if anyone could like me to a newspaper article or provide details that would be great.

There's a one-sentence newsflash by the AP, but nothing more. Are there any Londoners who have heard anything?

(God forbid) a Democrat wins the next election? Will they praise him? Or will they lie about the things he does too? Will they only show they bad things in the world, or will they begin showing good things (i.e. children giving our shoulders flowers, hugging them, thanking them, etc.) to present him as a God?

"First of all we have Morocco. We drove up to Lisbon late this afternoon to catch a flight to Casablanca where embassy officials will meet us. We were surprised to learn that a 20 seat propeller plane was sent instead of the larger aircraft. Luckily Kate, Clarence and I got squeezed on although we were certainly rather apprehensive about flying on such an aircraft- it reminded us of some of the internal flights we took in New Zealand in the mid 90’s."

Who are the other 18 seats for if they had to 'squeeze in', their entourage?

I know a few people on here really dislike them but consider it on the basis that you knew they had nothing to do with it.

I dont think their campaign will help find Maddy, but that is just a viewpoint, but on the other hand they could get some comfort in the future out of raising awareness of these revolting people who snatch and molest children.

Re The McCanns.

When the topic pops up over the water cooler or at the bus stop are you honest in saying what you think or do you go with the majority and nod politely saying 'that's terrible'?

The McCanns say they are curtailing their European tour so they can grieve for their daughter. So, does that mean, until now, they haven't been grieving? Proper parents would have been doing so from the outset. I've also noticed they have stopped giving large scale press conferences and are now only giving one to one 'interviews' (questions agreed in advance, of course) with sympathetic and compliant reporters.

Do you think the real reason for stopping their tour might possibly be to avoid awkward questions such as the one last week in Germany?

Answers, please.

Squeezed on a 20 seat flight? Oh how terrible..fancy having to sit on a 20 seater plane squashed up like sardines while Madeleine is going through God only knows what..I guess they have been spoilt by the private jet ride to Rome. Does this comment incense anyone else or is it just me?

Chances of Madeliene having been taken to US vs. having been abducted in Europe and probably already dead?!

The parents need someone around them to stop these pointless visits - they have done enough now and I think they need to stop for their own interests and that of their remaining children.

this was in the last segmant of his latest statement. it made my blood run cold.
"The couple have said they have no intention of returning to the UK at least until the end of the summer and Mr McCann, a cardiologist, rejected suggestions he was planning to go back to work part-time.
"I might have to go home for meetings, but Kate and I have no immediate plans to leave Portugal," he said.
"I cannot think about anything else at the moment other than finding Madeleine. I do not know if I would be safe to go back and practise as a doctor at the moment."
The McCanns are due to fly from Casablanca to Lisbon before driving down to the Algarve, where their daughter was kidnapped."
if they fell they have done nothing wrong why is he making a statment like that. whats up jerry are you afraid of getting what you deserve,and are you scaird that someone will take the law into there own hands and get justice for maddy. maybe now you are starting to realise how scaird maddy must have been eh???
