The Leveson Inquiry Is An Indictment Of The Stupidity Of Newspaper Readers First And Foremost
November 28, 2011
R.F.Wilson writes from London: It’s really hard to imagine how Lord Justice Leveson, who is presiding over the inquiry into the ethics of the British press, is going to salvage the proceedings that have descended into a total farce, compliments of dimwitted celebs who have testified at its hearings. The choice of most witnesses, who have given evidence to the inquiry, has basically wiped out any chance of anyone treating this exercise seriously. Lord Leveson may be a good judge, but he sure got taken for a ride by people, who represent celebs and semi-celebs and and everything possible to get them some free publicity.
What on earth were mediocre actor Hugh Grant and so-called comedian Steve Coogan doing on the witness stand at Leveson inquiry anyway? How is it that they represent the voice of reason when it comes to giving a balanced account of the way the press operates? They should be the last people to be telling anyone about press intrusion. Not to mention that Kate and Gerry McCann have probably singlehandedly turned the inquiry into a joke with their appearance. There’s a certain limit to which some people can go in treating everyone as idiots and the McCanns have went way beyond this limit. And if you want the brutal truth, even the Dowler family, who have lost their daughter Milly to a psychopathic murderer, should not have been at the inquiry as well, having accepted a huge pay-out from News International for tapping their poor murdered girl’s mobile phone. Once the money had settled on their account, they should have stayed away from the proceedings. more

Nothing new, interesting though despite the annoying music.
Gerry's facial expression at the 1:03 mark, he looks as if he cannot remember anything from Kate's story.
I'll pass on that one Maren, I never could bear looking at them when I was blogging them, all the more so now I'm not.

second comment, from a mother with a daughter called Madeleine.
I haven't the words for the madness of the McCann circus.
"Is there any current evidence or possibility that this girl is in Canada right now? Then why keep reporting about her on Canadian news-sites? Do you also report missing child cases from Africa or Asia or USA?"

Good morning.
I notice the usual amount of praying, but isn't it always the case, those that do the most praying, do the most believing.
---------------------------------
Most likely there was complicity from someone who knew the whereabouts of the couple.
It would be a good investigation for Sherlock Holmes. I still think Scotland Yard is the best police in the world.
The only thing I can do is I shall pray that the Lord put His hand in this case.

“I notice the usual amount of praying, but isn't it always the case, those that do the most praying, do the most believing.”
Yes it is, and isn’t it tragic that those that do the most praying and believing put their faith in two unbelievable parents.

If anything, when this first happened it strengthened my faith. I felt that there was such support and I really felt that may have been God’s work, that something good was going to come out of this. - Gerry McCann

“In that way she therefore stands for abducted children everywhere, recovered or lost; and for every child who suffers from the misdeeds of adults, be they victims of isolated crime, or injured, killed or orphaned as a result of armed conflict all over the globe.” http://bit.ly/LUdZ6f
which is even more bizarre in connection with the Philadelphia link and other misdeeds of adults by that organisation.
Madeleine McCann, goodwill trophy for the catholic church, just what they needed.

The press must never be controlled by law,they investigate and reveal truths that the police never seem able to,but the police are bedevilled with rules and regulations,the press must never have that anchor round their necks,maybe hacking phones was going too far but they just might have gleaned something of use,as for little Madeleines father complaining,fair enough they should not have hacked their phone but what if they hacked someones phone and found where she was in doing so.what would Mr McCann be saying then?. maybe all our phones are listened into i don't know.i don't really care.but then i've nothing to hide,i wonder if some of the protesters can say the same?.

suemark 2:37 PM on 1/12/2012 - The McCann's phones were not hacked. Their complaint was that the papers were no longer singing from only the McCann's hymn sheet but were reporting what was being said over the world. Maybe the McCann's should have given them the answers to the script sheet that they usually hand over to whoever interviews them instead.

The McCanns on the high horse telling the Politicians to do the 'right thing' ....Perhaps it is THEY who should have done the 'Right Thing' ?? We NEVER EVER left our children unattended until they were 16.

Lloyd Embley, the editor-in-chief of the Mirror titles, suggested yesterday that it was possible to inflate the number of signatories to the petition through false names and email addresses.
A spokesman for Hacked Off said there were procedures in place to “weed out obvious bogus signatures” as well as multiple entries from the same IP address. “Our count of over 100,000 doesn’t count these timewasters,” he said.
Sounds familiar.
Good morning my lovely, let me make my second cup of the day and I shall be with you.

Hi m'darlin'
While you were making your second cup of the day, I was reading your tweets and inspecting your followers. Not stalking of course, just being nosy.
A nice bunch by the way and, an interesting read via @GaeMar01.
I shall make you a third cup, the world needs your attention. xx

Why thank you m'darlin'
A nice bunch by the way
Interesting at least, how nice some of them are is anybody's guess.
But some are short lived, you follow them on the strength of a couple of brilliant tweets and they turn out to be right wankers.
Don't ask me how, but I'm following a munchkin, and I mean munchkin, she's still at school, but she seems nice munchkin and far be it for me to unfollow her because of the age gap.
A sign of the times that I feel the need to explain myself.
It's all wrong.

Thanks Maren, I shall pass it on to the Munchkin.
It seems Gerry McCann thinks that by incessant ranting he can continue to milk the 'frantic parent' persona. Frantic? I've seen more anguish over a missing cufflink.
The only thing I believe is the evidence of the cadaver dogs that Gerry McCann threw a tantrum on TV to avoid discussing. - S

Yes, after I learned the expression, thanks.
I can understand why he deleted it, too many weirdos indeed.
Liked Mental in the original tweet. Who does this remind me of.
Good night, sleep well m'dear. x

Good morning Maren.
Thank you for some very interesting links, not least this one.
Which if I'm not mistaken has all the hallmarks of "Rothley Pillow"
Why am I not surprised the petition has but half a dozen signatures?
How did it come to your attention?
I'm taking Mother out shortly, so will only be around for a little while.
Your other links I shall to address later on.
Thank you.
Good morning H
Someone (don't remember who) tweeted that petition, useless as for reaching the goal I think but perhaps useful for spreading the word. Not sure though, might also be counterproductive.
I hope your mother is doing well.
Love to you. M
Good morning Maren, thank you so much for your kind wishes.
might also be counterproductive
When things have the appearance of being written by a congenital idiot, it's usually the case. Which of course, was my point.
I stopped following Dodgy Dr the other day, because he had shit made of my timeline with somewhere in the region of a hundred of these.
https://twitter.com/DodgyDrPayne/status/340872521656176640
Which I find infantile, annoying, and yes, counter-productive.
He is of course, free to do whatever he wishes, as equally so am I. Goodbye Dodgy.

Hmmm
Have they found the "abductor" or a body?
Might have found a bit of self awareness at last.
Or more likely, their shit just isn't selling.
http://bit.ly/1fDwBCn
I agree with that, not with her trust in Redwood & Op Grange as for nailing the McCanns. Perhaps they let them nail themselves, not getting their hands dirty.
The "substitute" and "arranged abduction" theories are utter nonsense IMO
The "substitute" and "arranged abduction" theories are utter nonsense.
JillyC is plenty bad enough, almost as delusional as Viv.
Almost, because Viv's unwavering belief that the White Knight, in the form of the cops, is going to come riding over the hill, is beyond anything I have ever witnessed.
For six years, I have listened to her say the same old thing, again and again and again.
I stopped following Jilly for this very reason. I don't know whether I have done the same with Viv or not. If I haven't, I should.

Sometimes there is an emotional pressure from the family who are desperate for a death certificate so they can move on, says one coroner, who does not want to be named.
But an inquest without a body operates very much on the evidence provided by the police, he says, and whether senior officers believe the individual in question has genuinely died.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declared_death_in_absentia
England and Wales
(...)These processes were not considered satisfactory, and so in February - March 2013, a Presumption of Death Act was passed to simplify this process. The Act is currently due for publication. The new act will allow an application to be made to the UK High Court to declare a person dead. This declaration is conclusive and cannot be appealed. It will be recorded on a new Register of Presumed Deaths, and will have the same effect as a registration of death. Death is taken to occur on (a) the last day that they could have been alive (if the court is satisfied that they are dead), or (b) the day seven years after the date they were last seen (if death is presumed by the elapse of time).

DCI Redwood: “We are here in terms of seeking to bring closure to the case. That would be the ultimate objective and is our ultimate objective.”
Richard Bilton: “What does that mean?”
DCI Redwood: “Well closure means establishing what has happened to Madeleine McCann.”
RB: “Solving it?”
DCI Redwood: “Yes, solving it, of course.”

Of course.
Bicycles on a bridge, thank you my darling, bless you. And may your own year be puncture free.
Death in absentia.
Wasn't that ghastly jailhouse lawyer fellow, threatening to try and have her declared dead once over? Or was that Bennett?
Who I see has been at it again. What a twisted little fuck he is. Blacksmith had him down to a tee in his recent article.
I don't normally advocate violence, but the bloke needs a fucking good hiding, teach him to keep his nose out.
I've been quite busy of late Chuck, what with one thing or another, and Mother tomorrow.
So my lovely, it is time to sit down and chill with one of the girls.

Are edflynn20 and Steven Reith people I should know?
I got the email Chuck, Blogger must think you are spamming. Too many links in one comment is synonymous with spam as far as they are concerned.
Why don't you bite the bullet and register with Blogger, it only takes a minute and then you can tick the "notify me of replies" on the comments. It would save a lot of messing.
I assume you can use a throw away email account, gmail or hotmail or whatever.
I posted an answer to your question on
but it doesn't show up.
I give it a (third) go, here.
Are edflynn20 and Steven Reith people I should know?
No, they are not people you should know. I should’ve explained better. I lifted tweets bit.ly/1d0wvEr and bit.ly/19s4Dup from RT bit.ly/1i9z3SE (14 Oct.), nice girl that shouldn’t be involved. It shows that the McCann family & Co are fully aware of public opinion and the fact that more and more people become aware of Amaral’s book.
Ah so, and yes.
