Some kind hearted generous people wanted to help out and donated money. It works out to less than 1p per 50 head of population and I really don't believe that the people wittering on about it gave a penny between them!
It's not really that much money in the greater scheme of things. A million probably wouldn't cover Madonna's wardrobe bill for a year, or pay for the diamond collars on Paris's dogs and Kate Moss wears £17k vintage dresses like she got them from Oxfam... so why get so worked up about it? Why not scream outrage at what celebrities spend on lunch everyday? You could probably pay your mortgage with what a celebrity spends on shoes...

Some sad people have nothing better to do with their time than whine and moan about the McCanns.
Just be grateful you're not one of them.
I gave money to the fund, and I'm happy for them to pay their mortgage with it - it means they can focus on trying to find Maddie and not have money worries on top of everything else.
There's not enough kindness in the world, that's the problem.

What are you twittering on about? So what if Madonna, Kate and Paris spend crazy amounts of money, they earnt it doing whatever it is they do.
The McCanns received donations after asking for them to help find their daughter. The one they left sleeping so they could go out on the lash.
They then use it to pay the mortgage on their house when both of them are well paid professionals.
Paris and Co can do what they want with their money - it is their own. When they start asking for donations for one thing then spend the money on another I will start getting them in my 'sights' (not sites.)

The thing is the media likes to pick up on small issues in order to captivate public interest to sell papers, and to fill the news. Comparing the McCann's "fund" to celebrity spending habits is a weak link, celebrities have money from different avenues, and thus being their own money can spend it how they choose.
The McCanns have access to a fund which is supposed to help them find their daughter, and the thing which is making people mad is the way in which things have happened.
regardless of which "side" your on there are inconsistancies with the information that has been released. And some of the things they have done since the whole fiasco begun are questionable at best.
I fail to see how a "spokesperson" can help find madeline, I fail to see how a team of lawyers can help find her either.
and now, almost 6 months later? now they set up a phone line manned by private investigators to follow up the leads. This would have been one of the first things I did!
Personally I find this case quite weird based on the information avaliable and their actions.
and as for the celebs, most of them live in their own fantasy world where idiots like Paris Hilton are glamourised for doing sod all apart from living off their parents backs.

The difference is people like Madonna and Kate Moss have earned their money honestly and it is is their money to do with as they please.. The McCanns said the money donated to the find maddie fund would be used to find Maddie and if o when she was found the remainder would go to towards helping other families find their children. We now learn from the spokesman that the money is being used to pay their mortgage and living expenses. This can't be right. Who paid for Ben Needhams mums living expenses? Can't the McCanns use their savings, after all they do earn a fair amount between them and must have had a bit put away. Most people gave to the fund in good faith that it was going to be used to leave no stone unturned in finding this little girl. I am sure if they had been told the money would used to help the McCanns buy their house instead, few would have donated.

Some kind hearted generous people donated money to the Find Madeleine fund to actually help FIND her, not the McCanns mortgage fund.....

thing is skidoo...those celebrities actually worked for those things whether they were given by deisgners etc those celebrities are promoting a product....it's called marketing/advertising. the mccann's collected that sum of money from people all over the world, some of whom i'm sure really sacrificed just to make a contribution.

I gave thirty pounds to that fund, at the very beginning!
The more days that went by, the more and more I began to dislike these two!
Now after months of saying that the fund was not used for personal reasons, we now find out that it was used for a couple of mortgage payments! (what else will we find out?)
The fund should have been frozen the minute they were made arguidos!
And btw, what stars spend on their shoes etc. is up to them, and you will find that they give accordingly to plenty of charities!
The McCann case bothers me because people like me gave into that fund!
I am now ashamed that I did donate!

I thought the fund was set up to try and find their missing child NOT to pay their bills

I would like to see funds set up for every family that has a child missing or murdered and we are now hunting the killer(s).... or should it just be for those who have mates in PR?
I find it grossly unfair - what has gone on. I resent seeing other families go through hell yet because they do not prostitute themselves to the media and busy themselves with setting up paypal websites and just grieve in private they get NO help.
Its so unfair on them.

Ungraceful, self-indulgence, like paying a mortgage, from the donated fund ,seems to be rather inconsiderate, even
nearing on fraudulent unacceptable moral behaviour.
Appears McCanns, lack sensitivity, & sincerity in financial
matters ....Aswell...?
Pity , people like Chunk z above, were taken in.....!
They did it in good faith...?
They did not donate, in order, to pay off the McCanns mortgage......?
