A few weeks ago the fund was stuck at about £902,000. then Gerry went to the States and within days the amount had reached £946,000 or thereabouts where it has stayed ever since.

My point is that the McCanns have said on many occasions that hundreds and thousands of people all around the world are supporting them. They have made a lot of money, but the amount in that fund [ given their so-called worldwide support ] shoud be increasing relative to the immense support they feel they have... not stagnating....

Yahoo has a news story up today that states of the 28 people killed in a suicide bombing 19 were children. Why attack these children? What have they or anyone else done to deserve this?

If so what happens next and when. Any opinions on that?
I know I have an idea, but I want to hear what all of you have to say about it.

On a tv show he said something like "30 years ago, 13 year old girls were putting posters of Gary Glitter on their walls... today, it is the other way round".

in their old apartment and the sniffer dogs situation ] .. why would they go to so much trouble to set up a fund, and throw themselves in our faces each and every day?
Now you will all know I am not a supporter of the McCanns in any shape of form. I cannot stand the people but could they really be so stupid to put themselves out there in this manner if they had done something? That would make them not only criminal in some way but also somewhat sociopathic...

Interestingly enough one of the definitions provided of a socipath is as follows: "relatively normal temperament... their personality disorder being more an effect of negative sociological factors like parental neglect... and extremely low or extremely high intelligence"

I note there was a lot of coverage of Kates interview in the Sunday newspapers today. I managed to read one of them and certainly seemd to sum up very well how we are feeling and coping without Madeleine. {The key message is that we are doing everything we can to help find Madeleine}.

i would have thought the key message should have been , the public please keep looking.

was that the purpose of the interviews, with all these papers by kate,,to try and show ye are still looking,,,
why would ye try to do that gerry? could it be that ye know the public know ye have not been looking,,

Read this link form Leicester's local paper

http://www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=132384&command=displayContent&sourceNode=232710&home=yes&more_nodeId1=132393&contentPK=18016867

Kate says

"Mrs McCann said: "Gerry and I want to remind people that our lovely little girl, Madeleine, is still missing. Today will mark three months since she was cruelly snatched from her bed.

"We do not know where she is, or where she has been taken, but would urge tourists and residents in Portugal and Spain to keep looking for Madeleine"

Hasn't their been a possible sighting in Belgium?

Why does she not mention that, she only mentions Portugal and Spain ?????

Also she says Maddy was snatched from her bed, How could she know that??

i totally dont understand this

why would the news publish something that could kill maddie?

if the people who actually do have maddie see the news reports that say "new suspects" and they think it is them little maddie will be gone!
they will either move or kill her!

why would they release information like that?
i just dont get it

then left the 2 year old twins alone while she went back to the bar to alert everyone? Surely even SHE would not leave the 2 year old twins alone KNOWING there was an abductor in the area who had already visited her apartment. I reckon she found Maddie dead from an accidental overdose of the sleeping potion that had been administered earlier by either she or Gerry. What do you think?

Why is bush blamed for everything from 9/11 to hurricane katrina. It was your members of congress including HIllary clinton that said that iraq had WMD'S and saying that they should be stopped with military action. They voted to send our troops to Iraq. How is bush to blame for 9/11? he didnt know that was going to happen. And what should he have done when he was in the classroom full of kids? should he have been like "oh **** gotta leave some bad guys are flying planes into our buildings." He is doing the best he can do and all these liberal democrats just want to cut and run. If we did that then iraq will be a breeding ground for terrorists and mass killings. Why listen to the liberal media, they are just as bad and do not report anything but how many people died. So tell me, why should be leave?

With the bridge collapse in Minneapolis, can one wonder the safety of the Midwest, if she were to experience another major quake? Remember that one of the strongest quakes to hit the U.S. mainland was the series of New Madrid Earthquakes (1811-1812 in the Southwest corner of Missouri), where a few of them registered over 8+ on the Richter scale.

It is said that there is over a 50% chance that a 6+ magnitude quake will hit Southwest Missouri by 2040. From 1811 to present day, there has been major development and population explosion west of the Mississippi River. One of the major obstacles, liabilities facing the Midwest is her reliance on unreinforced masonry. That will truly up the death tolls in cities like Memphis and St. Louis, if such a quake were to take place.

Check out the graphic of the U.S. vs. the 1994 Northridge Earthquake vs. the 1895 Charleston, MO, earthquake that traveled a lot longer ways, damage and earthfelt wise.

...think that Jennifer Ellison (Brit tv actress) is an idiot? She stayed with her moronic boyfriend who beat seven bells out of her constantly for six years. They have no kids, she is a rich woman, and they weren't married -so she can't claim that she was trapped, had nowhere to go, and no money to leave.

She then dumps him - not because he abused her appallingly, but because he cheated on her.

(and yes I know the police arent commenting on what they may or may not have found, but considering someone in the media would have noticed the police carting out a body from the garden, its fairly safe to say they found f### all there ........)
