Panorama - Wasnt quite the whitewash the McCanns were hoping for?

Question

Here are my thoughts on last nights show about the McCanns.

1) Quote of the night. Kate McCann - "Gerry was probably at his lowest points on a Saturday as that was family day and we spent it with the twins." (haha, yeah having to actually parent for one day of the week must be annoying)

2) Jane Tanner - "The man was quite unusual because he didnt have shorts and a shirt on but rather was wearing trousers." ........ then later on in the interview "It was quite cold that night, it was early May." and also from Kate's mother "I remember Kate telling me it was colder than she expected" - So if its so bloody cold at night, then is it totally unreasonable for a man to be out and about after 9pm wearing trousers???

3) In the graphics shown yesterday of Janes movement and Gerrys movement, no explanation was given as to how Jane walked right past Gerry yet apparently Gerry nor Jeremy Wilkins saw her or the 'abductor' despite being just yards away.

4) Kate laughing several times throughout the documentary and making comments airly such as 'you hear of kids getting kidnapped, murder and stuff like that' .......... (what is stuff like that? The way she said this line with such casualness seemed well odd).

5) How many versions of the moment Madeleine was discovered missing are we going to get? Initially we were told that Kate came racing back into the restaurant and told everyone 'shes gone, shes gone'. Then we had her screaming from the apartment back to the Tapas bar that she had gone missing. Now Jane is saying she didnt even know anything about Madeleine being missing until she walked out of the apartment and noticed Kate and one of the other friends calling out for Madeleine.

Surely if your child is missing, you check with all members of your party first to ensure that she isnt with them. Especially as Jane has the apartment right next door to the McCanns. It seems unbelievable that Kate just started randomly calling out for

Madeleine and beginning to search when she hadnt even checked in with all her friends first to establish Madeleine wasnt with them. Especially when Kate KNEW that Jane and her husband had a sick child in the apartment right next door so logically Madeleine might have woken up and gone next door to where the O'Brien and Tanner was staying to see her playmate.

Personally I thought the Panorama program wasnt the whitewash the McCanns were hoping it would be. Even there legal eagles on the program acknowledged they were delibrately 'helping' the program so that they could get their message across. Luckily the program didnt bow to the McCanns as another pathetic program on ITV did.

Movie - au contraire ....... have you not noticed the public shift against the McCanns ....... so my work hasnt entirely been in vain.

Answer 1

Also, this friend of theirs who has only just come forward to say she saw a man carrying a young child in a blanket - has she only just remembered? I think most people would have thought that sighting suspicious at the time as it was late in the evening. She would have certainly remembered it the minute she realised that Madelaine was missing!

The McCanns and their friends keep throwing in these pieces of evidence but not all of them stack up which only serves to fuel the "fire of suspicion". They offered to take lie-detector tests a while ago but did they actually do it? If not, why not, as surely it will stop all this speculation of their involvement thus forcing people into concentrating on what really matters - finding Madelaine!

no longer extremely. Bangladesh is going to lose the the rest tests. It grew to become into organic success that they have got been given a highway to bat on. On a suitable wicket, Bangladesh might've misplaced through an innings and 200 runs. SL have a wager of prevailing this nevertheless. they might score some speedy runs at T20 %. and supply Bangladesh some 350 to chase 40 overs. SL is able to bowling them out in 40 overs on a 5th day pitch. in spite of you do, a Fisherman continually will stay a fisherman. Regards.

Answer 3

I agree with everything you say. The Mc's have seemed so nonchalant at times it is scarey. I remenber a couple of days into Gerry's blog he was bragging about how he and Kate jogged to some Portuguese landmark " ...in only 19 minutes...." as if he wanted a round of applause for being so fit. Their whole attitude from day one has been about damage limitation and trying to make money and of course their relentless self promotion. There is no way that they could be like that if they thought that their daughter was in the hands of a paedo ring being tortured and abused every day.
The spin and lies are getting tiresome now. People are sick to the back teeth of them and no longer believe a word that either they or their Tapas friends say. I pray that the PJ and Portuguese prosecutor have the guts and the finances to take this case all the way and not give in to bullying by British authorities.

Answer 4

I personally think that it is sad that you and the media have lost sight of the fact that whether she is dead or alive Madeline is still missing.
If it were my child, as a parent I would happily use the media to keep people looking for that child - no matter how bad it made me look or what was said about me!

Answer 5

I am more distrought when I lose a fiver than the McCanns were when Maddy disappeared. Their casualness really bothers me. There is something inhuman about it all.

Answer 6

I missed it I'm afraid as my DVD recorder refused to record it(?) - but its repeated on Thursday around midnight, so I shall attempy to record it again, and will be looking out for the points you have raised.

Answer 7

I have to agree with you, I didn't watch the show last night mainly because I thought it was going to be another McCanns love in.

I think there is something suspicious about the whole thing, and I'm sorry to say any normal person would at least suspect that there is a possibilty their child is dead after this long, whereas the McCanns are not, they are sure she has been kidnapped and she is alive because 'noone would kill a child like her' well I'm sorry but there are some sicko's out there that would kill anyone, and they are either guilty and trying to cover it up or very innocent and lucky something hasn't happened to their kids before this.

How come anyone saying anything bad about the McCanns are being marked down? Oh wait I know it's because your saying something bad against someone who is a possible victim. I'd love to see the oppinions of these people if it is found out the McCanns did have something to do with the disappearance

Answer 8

Don't have the time nor the inclination to read thru' all the drivel you've taken time off to type for your point 1 says it all for me...

Kate simply says that Gerry was sad on Saturday as it was family day for them (he had a holiday from work) and that they spent it with their twins. Naturally Madeleine was missed sorely.

Just look at the way you choose to interpret it... You insinuate that he is upset at having to spend time with his children... the pathetic one here is not Gerry McCann but anyone who can come to such a conclusion just from what Kate said.

Answer 9

The more they publicise their 'cause' - for whatever reason the further they literally dig their own graves. Everything they say or do is being scrutinised by everyone - these are parents with a missing child........................

.............I wonder how many other parents are watching them and thinking "this isn't how I would behave, I'd be devastated. Emotional. Worried...the strain would show. Sleepless nights..."

All is not well in the McCann's life - secrets never remain secrets for long no matter how many years will pass.

EDIT

We must have a McCann in our presence today what with all the TDs!! :o))

Answer 10

as they say, the eyes are the window to the soul and this pair..........well.....


edit: judging by the number of thumbs down on this page there are some out there who obviously dont know what its like to have a child go missing. well let me tell you a**holes something, i bloody well do know!!!!! i wont go into details but it has happened to me. im not some saddo sicko or whatever making this up. i was on sleeping pills antideppressants under psychiatric doctors, because to be truthful my world fell apart. when i saw this pair on the tv the other night smiling laughing not really seeming to be bothered, i thought as i have from the very first time i saw them over 6 months back that something is not quite right. so excuse me for having an opinion on something that i actually do know something about!!!!!
