As the Kate and Gerry media machine roll on ………?
from todays blog.
"Another trip to the airport this morning to pick up our campaign manager. Kate did a series of interviews for womens magazines and the Sunday newspapers which took most of the afternoon. Kates parents, who we visit regularly at home, also arrived and the twins were very happy to see them. They will be staying with us for a week.
We have had some new posters designed of Madeleine, in Portuguese and Spanish, which I have been printing out to distribute locally. I also did some filming to camera which we might use on the website and for future events."
1) I hope they have got some discount with easyjet or someone, the amount of times they fly everyone in and out of the Algarve (just so long as its spent wisely huh!). I didnt realise the fund was also called ‘Keep the entire McCann on one big summer holiday at the publics expense LTD’
2) What has Kate got to add that we don’t know already. Perhaps yet another denial from her that they were bad parents?
3) Uh hello ….. how is designing a new poster going to help. There are already posters out there in Spanish and Portugese about Madeleine. How is a new looking poster going to help matters now?
They are just throwing good money after bad in this campaign.
What annoys me with this campaign is that they are just repeating the same old tired ideas. Make a new poster. Appear on TV for a bit. Its all been done before for the last 3 months and hasnt delivered ANYTHING. Is this what they hired Justine McGuiness for, to come up with the same stuff they’ve been doing all along?
And to think people actually praise them for this campaign …………. geez ……..
FAITH - Damn right I will read it, and don’t worry I’ll be spotting the flaws in what Kate has to say. I can assure you of that 
LYNN18050 - HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Go ahead, Im scared! Waiting for the knock at my door now! hahahaa ……………. Loser, who’s the obsessed one now actually phoning up the police about something you saw on YA. hahaha …….. Girl you need to get some medical help.
these two just make me so angry

Couldn’t agree with you more, Dave. I live in Spain and we have posters everywhere, in English and in Spanish. I have a Bar and we have the poster in the Bar. Most of my customers are Spanish and they are all aware of Madeleine missing. Some of them ask on a daily basis if she has been found, so new posters won’t raise awareness.
Wonder if I can jump on the bandwagon, need to go back to the UK in 3 weeks - maybe they can pay for my flight as well.

What are you peeved about now???!
Their family needs to be together at this time, don’t you think?
How do you know that their tickets were not bought by Madeleine’s Grandpa’s own savings?
Did Kate go around asking to be interviewed or was she asked to? She was asked to by the magazines. Naturally, she’d agree to the interview, as hard as it must be, to keep her missing baby in the news. Wouldn’t you do the same?
You don’t have to read it, if you think you know it all already, but i betcha you will. Its called vicarious enjoyment.
And maybe the other posters of Madeleine may have her with another expression which will help people recognise her. Children, being so expressive, look amazingly different in different moods, don’t you think?
Edit: Look, if you think they’re repeating the same old ideas & you can come up with a few good ones that might work, why don’t you suggest something to them on their site?
OR are you just a Peeved Problem Pointer and not a Strong Solution Seeker?!
Edit: Aha! you do like to "spot flaws" in others, don’t you? You’ve taken it on as your sole role in life to do so, haven’t you? Do you like what you see in the mirror each morning? You don’t spot any flaws there do you?
Edit: Don’t call Lynn18050 a loser. If you’ve done nothing wrong & you’re not scared of the cops, don’t resort to name calling.

So the celebrity Mccann bandwagon rolls on.
Its way past the time when they should do the decent thing, come home and tell the truth about that night - May 3rd.

When are these people returning to the UK to pick up the "resposibility tab". No doubt large fees will be forthcoming from interviews ( what about this silence agreement - was Mr McCann present monitoring every word.) At least the money received will not be from well meaning but gullible members of the public.

Only the other day the impression was given that Kate McCann is very depressed and some members of her family were concerned about her.
Well, she’s not so depressed that she can’t give a series of interviews so I withdraw the sympathy I was beginning to feel for her. There is obviously nothing like a bit of money making to perk you up!
As for the posters, they’ve obviously got enough already. Why don’t they just go away and let the police get on with it, both Portuguese and British.

The website address is a bit more prominent on the new posters Dave, they had to print it over the pretty little girls face unfortunately, but, it does now mention their endless search for their much loved daughter which you can help using Paypal. Allegedly
Nice to know they’re up to doing some more filming, it might be used in the DVD which is almost certain to come out
"Life without Margar, err Madeline, errm, put another "E" in somewhere".
Poor little Madeline, they could have taken care of her so easily.

Theres nothing new, they just love being in the spotlight, there are posters everywhere, everyone knows about maddie, i read in the news yesterday, they are now going to up the campaign again, ( i didnt think it had gone away, did you? ) although i suppose they have to look like they are doing something with all that fund money, but really its just about Gerry jetting over the world, writing bloggs, and Kate well i dont know what Kate is doing, about this time i should think she is taking the twins to the babyminders. nothing new, is this now there life? they should come home & try to make a life for those twins, poor Madeleine they let her down

Bravo lynn18050 you’re my kind of person.
Dave s you would be dangerous if you had a brain.

Whatever anyone thinks about Dave S or the McCanns, the fact that they are being discused so often is at least keeping Madeleine’s story alive. I just hope that whatever people feel, that beautiful little girl is found safe and well.

I feel very sorry for them. All of this is unlikely to bring Madeliene back and its quite sad to read about.
I am still angry they never acknowledged how bad it is to leave children alone and there is no justification for it and its something they will regret for the rest of their lives. If they did that I would feel more towards them.
As it is I just feel very sorry for Maddy and for what has happened to her. I also hope, if she was abducted, they find that person and prosecute them. I am amazed with the reward that none of the sleazy pervs have come forward with a tip off. I wonder if the rich Arab thing is more likely? Although personally I still think there is a good chance she went off to the beach and drowned.

I cannot believe you are still on here ranting at the McCanns. You REALLY need to get a life.
References :
dave you haven’t specified whether or not Kate was paid for the interviews she gave, I would like to think she wasn’t and that she did it for the right reasons.
As someone has already said, you are right, more posters won’t do anything.
If they need their family around them, they should return home for some normality and leave the police or whoever they decide to hire with the fund money to search for their missing daughter and fly back to portugal as and when necessary.

Threats and counter threats Dave aren’t you becoming bored of idle threats of cops coming to your door? you’re only stating an opinion like the rest of us so trolls get a life!

So another day in the life of McScams. Why are they in so much denial. Another parent would never dream of neglecting their children like they did. Why are they not in hiding for doing the most wrongful thing in the world. They need their heads examined. So matter what they think they have neglected their children cos the couldn’t carry out the basic role of parenting.

Do you think they should re-name Yahoo question and answers as the Dave s show.
You are like the Charley of Yahoo answer, Obnoxious and argumentative.
Like Charley you wont everything to revolve around you and your need for attention is stunning.
The only pity is we can not vote to evict you, you can guarantee that unlike Charley we would not bring you back
Maybe you could start future posts with, " Not being Funny Right"
What do you think Dave ?.
Oh yeah, in answer to your consistantly nasty question I think Faith sums it up very well.

From another forum-
"The policing budgets in the UK, Portugal and the rest of Europe are going through the roof.
Millions of pounds and Euros are being pumped in from an endless budget.
The Madeleine Fund will be peanuts when compared to the huge spend that is being racked up on an hourly basis.
There are also millions of pounds being raised as a direct result of the negligence of the parents in advertising revenue through media outlets across the world.
It may already have cost tax payers in the western world more than it did to find Bin Laden….and they never found him."

It just shows that you simply have a one-sided view of this whole situation!
These women’s magazines are sold all over the world. Maybe the thinking behind the magazine interviews is that if a woman somewhere knows where Madeleine is, Kate’s interview may appeal to them and this may lead to finding their daughter. I know it seems a long shot but they obviously don’t want to give up.
You also criticise them for having the Grandparents visit. I know if I was in this situation my parents would be very important to me and my children.
You are simply taking info you read and twisting it to sound selfish and thoughtless.

The mind boggles doesn’t it?
New posters - do they really think that is what it takes? Is this what the campaign manager is being paid for (out of the fund of course?). I could have done that no bother! I’m a photoshop whizz!
Interviews for womans mags? Most woman are disgusted with her actions. Does she think she is going to appeal to the wobbly woman that read this trash?

If you go onto the official madeleine site http://www.findmadeleine.com and follow the link About Madeleine, that says it all. You would expect lots of information devoted to - well, Madeleine wouldn’t you. Guess what? Just one sentence to sum up her life.
"Madeleine McCann was born 4 years ago. She has one brother Sean and a sister Amelie. She lives with her family in Rothley, Leicestershire."

You would seriously think with the top people they have in team mccann they would come up with something a little more dynamic than another poster..
I also think it is odd that Kate is doing interviews on her own without the ever controlling Gerry hovering in the shadows …
Maybe it is show she is her own person ???

Maybe all the attention posters etc might find Maddy.
