According to the paper this morning some bloke from the family contacted them three times and was very aggressive asking for money. Mother's lined up for a kicking. It looks like her organising.keveh wrote:I can't remember where I had heard it, but somebody had called up the McCann fund to try and get some money from them.

Annoying part of it all, it's the taxpayers who'll finish up footing the bill for this bunch of nutters. What chance the kids with a family like this around them? The mother, no doubt, will plead poverty, sell her "story" to the Sun or NOTW and come out of it all scot free. Lock the lot of them up.fatshaft wrote:It's taken Chavery to a new low.CrazyHorse wrote:I'm stunned by this whole affair. Absolutely stunned.

I too am getting tired of all this, if guilty she will probably get put away for a short time then come out and demand a new identity etc etc.TANGODANCER wrote:Annoying part of it all, it's the taxpayers who'll finish up footing the bill for this bunch of nutters.

Lock these sort of idiots up for good and throw away the key.
Every time I watch one of those "reality" cop shows I am getting more and more amazed with the pond scum that seem to get away with anything they like.
Not saying the rest of the world is any better buy once my daughter has flown the nest I am seriously considering getting out

What frightens me is that there are many more people exactly like this in every city, town and village throughout this country.TANGODANCER wrote:Annoying part of it all, it's the taxpayers who'll finish up footing the bill for this bunch of nutters.

Well, it would be fair comment normally, but given the weight of evidence: family concealment of their own child, repeated (and very aggressive apparently) demands for money from the McCann Trust, arrest of other members of the family and the way and place the child was found, it's seems a bit fair to assume some skullduggery. All this outside of the fact that the mother's "partner" was found in possesion of child pornography, means it will take a good lawyer to make any case for them. Only real plus from it all is a safe and unharmed child. I'll stand to be wrong.Bruce Rioja wrote:Innocent until proven guilty, anyone? Just a thought.

I have to say that I'm always concerned by trial by media - they need screaming headlines to generate higher sales and advertising revenue - look no further than the McCann's ordeals to see that, and they're taking action against about 30 incidents of slander .TANGODANCER wrote:Well, it would be fair comment normally, but given the weight of evidence: family concealment of their own child, repeated (and very aggressive apparently) demands for money from the McCann Trust, arrest of other members of the family and the way and place the child was found, it's seems a bit fair to assume some skullduggery.

The evidence looks overwhelming; but if institutions like Murdoch are driving the agenda, I'll wait for the trial (if and when) and put my faith in the British Legal system (mad fool that I am).
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Which makes me think the mother is covering for her Partner and his sick b**tard uncle than anything elseTANGODANCER wrote:Well, it would be fair comment normally, but given the weight of evidence: family concealment of their own child, repeated (and very aggressive apparently) demands for money from the McCann Trust, arrest of other members of the family and the way and place the child was found, it's seems a bit fair to assume some skullduggery.

Metro actually, I don't ever read the Mail. And I'm only repeating what the papers and national TV are putting out. Why so aggressive at me Bruce, most others on here seem to think the same: the family did conceal the child and all the other stuff is well reported in papers, on TV and on News Websites? Most people seem to think the same.Bruce Rioja wrote:evidence?fact? Go on then, let's have some, Tango.

I ended my post with "I'll stand to be wrong". I will.

Sorry, Tango. I'm not having a go at you personally. What we have at the moment are possibilities and probabilities, not facts in relation to guilt nor evidence. Everyone has the right to a fair trial regardless of their background or family set-up. Still, best we don't tell that to the usual lynching mob on here. Their days would become empty otherwise.

Every one is entitled to a fair trial but where in the UK they will find twelve individuals who have not already formed an opinion on the case I cannot imagine.Bruce Rioja wrote:Sorry, Tango.

Perhaps its an age thing but I tend to decide guilt on the alleged perpetrators appearances.
The McCanns - Work for a living, conduct themselves in a calm manner and can speak reasonably and clearly. Innocent.
The Matthews - Umpteen kids by umpteen fathers, no wallpaper in the house but no shortage of bottles of wkd. Faces that would scare a Police horse. Guilty.
If this case highlights anything to the whole country it should be that we are going to hell in a handcart if we dont get rid of this huge benefit underclass that is so prevalent around the UK.

they'll all gradually die off ..
