First the online store has not been working for ages.
The fundraising events has dwindled dramatically sans a few hanger-oners who are planning to release some balloons or bands who want to use the Madeleine cause to promote themselves, then donate only 33% of the proceeds to the fund and keep the rest for themselves.
Now Gerry has given up on his blog.
Its all going to rack and ruin. LOL.

Quickbrownfox - I like the concept of Gerry and Kate running an 'absent without leave' clothing range!

EDIT - Oh OK. The LOL may have been a bit out of order, but the rest of it isnt. So apologies to Lexy, Faith and co if you found the lol offensive.

I think all this should have been low-key from the start, there has been to much talk of fund money, Gerrys blog, world tours etc, and very little about Madeleine, like i have said many times before, all this fund money, all these clebs, world tours, will not find Madeleine, that will have to be done, or sadly it may never be done, by good old fashioned police work, it has all been one big media circus, the Mcanns if they have anything about them ( which i dont think they have ) should go back home, sort the twins out, get back to some sort of normal life & get out of the media spotlight, nothing they have done so far has helped in finding Madeleine, it has just made the Mcanns look cold, arrogant, trying to be clebs, Madeleine has been forgot in all this,

Not really. The McCanns have turned themselves into the story and are making money out of it. What do you think they are living on?
They have said they do not intend to return to their jobs and are talking of setting up a charity to run - no doubt on big fat salaries.
And where is Madeleine in all this? Sadly she is getting forgotten in their blaze of self publicity. Do you think that sounds tough? Well just consider how much of the reporting is about the McCanns and their activities and how little now is about Madeleine!!!
Interesting also that they are ranting against the police looking at them and their friends and saying the police should Laeve them alone yet the stories given by them and their friends would have prevented Madeleine being snatched if true so the police are rightly checking again. Also there are emails between the McCanns and their friends which have come under scrutiny.
Oh if only someone could bring it all back to the missing girls plight and away from the self serving parents!!!

I cant laugh at the fact because maybe after so long their hope has died.
Now whether you like the parents or not, if they are innocent Dave, its an awful thing for them to be going through. Whether you agree or not with their campaign or the advice they have been taking surely you wouldn't blame them from trying if the truth comes out it was a stranger abduction.
I know they left their children alone, which I strongly disagree with, but no parents deserve that, is that what you think Dave.
I find the new level of hatred on here unbelievable, considering the very limited facts that are available.
Can you not accept that even though they were wrong to leave their kids, that they still loved them.
I can understand maybe why you think they should be arrested for neglect, but if the authorities don't do is, is that the McCanns fault?
EDIT - Dave I didn't find it offensive ;-) besides I already have 4 thumbs down so obviously I'm more offensive..lol

I didn't know you had been trying to buy products from their online store Dave S........ gosh, has their PR campaign finally muddled your mind? Can you now be spotted wandering about with an array of yellow wrist bands, a commemorative limited edition 'Cuddle Cat' and clothing from their 'Absent without Leave' summer holiday range?!

He shouldn't have been doing a blog in the first place - what is the PR mob being paid for? That blog really did the two of them a lot of damage - very cringe worthy!

I agree Dave, it's not like they don't have enough free time or are doing anything terribly important (like for example, looking for their daughter). I'm really annoyed about the sudden stop in the blog entries though...it just is not fair,inconsiderate and immature of him. As soon as he is under the slightest bit of speculation he runs back under the dark, slimy rock from which he came from.
Coward!!
Edit: I am sure they are just experiencing "technical difficulties" and that's why he can't write to his beloved blog

Because we are getting closer to the truth and they feel spooked.
