McCanns: Kate and Gerry threaten to boycott the Portuguese Police ?

Question

Have Kate and Gerry totally lost the plot. We read that the two infamous serial child neglectors are now threatening to boycott the Portuguese Police.

Are these the same McCanns who pledged to assist the Police with all lines of investigation regarding their missing daughter ? Is this the same McCanns that are, and remain the MAIN SUSPECTS in the case ?

Are these two 'loving, caring parents' who left their young children alone crying while they went out drinking all night really in any position to threaten anyone let alone the Police ?

Answer 1

These two are very afraid of being questioned too closely, they and their friends will by now have perfectly rehearsed stories, all coinciding. One day someone may have a touch of conscience and then the truth will come out regarding their poor child !

Answer 2

enought said now traveling europe telling others how to look after there kids put them in jail where they belong thought child neglect was a crime or just for people of council estates

Answer 3

Considering all the remarks that the Portuguese police have leaked out to the world press I have to say I can't blame them. Ever heard that old saying "You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours." The Portuguese police have already stated that they do not wish to interview the McCanns while they are in England so why should they fly to Portugal to help them.

Answer 4

"...who left their young children alone crying while they went out drinking all night..."

you should be more careful with your english - there is no proof whatsoever to support that wild claim

youre as amateurish as the portugese police

Answer 5

I think it would be fair to say that the McCanns latest outing in to the limelight has proven nothing short of disasterous from a public relations point of view.

The person giving them advice in such matters might perhaps think about reconsidering their position.

Answer 6

There are enough people who know the truth about them and that they murdered their child as it is, is boycotting the people who are trying to find someone else to blame really the smartest move they could make right now, if they did that, they wouldn't be able to use their "Maddie Charity" to pay off all their bills any more.

Answer 7

I cant believe it, they are the two main suspects. The last thing that they should be doing is threatening the police

Answer 8

methinks the deeper they get in it the more they will fight and lie....

Clarrie - well he is just doing his job isn't he?

Answer 9

they say the truth hurts don't they ? would they have had as much support if people had ,had all the information in the beginning i don't think so, as a mum and grandparent it would never enter my head to leave my children alone least of all in a strange country. the beauty of holidays abroad is the children can go out as late as the parents, as the nights are family based in Portugal and the entertainment is for all ages.it was a reckless thing to do i for one am glad that i don't have to live with the choices they made

Answer 10

IAlthough my heart breaks for the sadness this couple must feel but I think this "spin doctor"they have employed is a clever manipulator of the facts and I wonder if his fees are being paid from the money donated to the "help find MADDIE " appeal

Answer 11

Usually I avoid questions about this couple like I would the plague, but I had a sneaking suspicion that they would somehow find an excuse not to do the reconstruction, this excuse however just takes the biscuit ! - this is THEIR child, their kith and kin - I would do it naked with bells on if it were my child.

One more point: as they have admitted leaving the door open/unlocked and suspected someone of following them and their children - could they not be charged with aiding and abetting a kidnapper (if that is what actually happened ?)

Answer 12

Well, quoting someone who never dreamt of once being quoted... bring it on!

For the reconstruction its only needed to use ben johnson, since he is the only one able to sprint as much as they said they did.

And he will get confused... since he will have to travel 2 roads at the same time...

Answer 13

You are a bit thick, aren't you? and you are not a very nice man mister. I pity your wife and children.

Answer 14

Ive just about had enough of there holy then tho c**p they should aleast be prosecuted for neglect

Answer 15

They are just upset about all the smears. If I were them, I would be too!

Answer 16

guilty

Answer 17

I dont think any leaks came from the PJ and these r just excuses put out.

Its all spin and bluster from their spooksman.

See thru the spin.

Answer 18

I feel bad for Maddie, but this whole thing hass been blown out of proportion and I think we are all tired of hearing about this 3rd rate. daily soap opera style saga. Let it go so we can all get on with our own lives and problems.! The Mc Canns have to live with their precious loss and pain, that's punishment enough.!

Answer 19

And don't we know why they're planning on boycotting them! It's the only 'excuse' they can come up with to get out of going back there coz they know, they're probably going to be arrested for the murder of their own child! What kind of parents are these? and it sickens me that they still have their other two kids!!!

Answer 20

So they are threatening to boycott the Portugese police?

I thought they were already doing that.  Refusing to answer questions and leaving the country as soon as they were made arguidos - if that's not a boycott what is?

Answer 21

It's about to explode...

It's obvious that since yesterday they are very very nervous, why should be...?

Oh I know, they will loose the VIP trip, the VIP PR, and the VIP receptions in different countries, including Paedophilia Paradise (Belgium), and that's why McJeckyll & McHyde are so bizarre, and they should know that it's easier for a liar to get caught then a cripple...

And in the end, WHEN? WHEN was the last time that they have mentioned MADELEINE? -I know the answer for that one as well, it was yesterday when they said Madeleine lied, well if she did, a nearly 4 year old to lie, I wonder where that came from... I mean the example...

It's pathetic because they say they believe that Madeleine is alive (unfortunately I don't, this is the 21st century) so why not help the Portuguese Police to reconstruct events, they are going against themselves here...

Answer 22

I'm sure the PJ are quaking in their boots.  They have the statements from those two and their friends, all they need to do is get actors to play them.  In my opinion, the PJ calling them back was to test their levels of co-operation.  You would think though, that after all their protests about wanting to assist the investigation, that they would JUMP at this chance, wouldn't you?  Obviously not.

Answer 23

You'd think they'd want to help in any way they can to get their daughter back...

Answer 24

Look, I know that there is evidence to suggest these two were somewhat less than responsible, but from what source did you obtain sufficient evidence to state with such confidence 'left their children alone crying while they went out drinking'?

If it were witnessed that these children were crying, and confirmed that the parents were drinking, surely such a witness would know what happened to the girl as well, since they apparently saw them crying?

Or... perhaps you just believe everything you read. And thus, your blustering hyperbole against these people makes you sound like you're working to a biased agenda.

Answer 25

Can it get any worse for these two???? They should be dragged back never mind given a choice as if they were doing them a favour! If they hadn't neglected their children and lied in the first place this wouldn't be happening! Who do they think they are? They make me so mad! In case they had forgotten they are fully responsible for the 'disappearance' of their forgotten daughter and are the main suspects!!!!! The mind boggles!

Edit: I think Duirmuid might have a point there, anything to avoid going back to Portugal, talk about sinister activities...

Edit: I hope you are right Tim, as they have gone too far now!
