WHY THE F*** DO THEY NEED FINANCIAL SUPPORT!? THEY'RE BOTH DOCTORS WITH REASONABLY HIGH SALARIES, HAVE PLENTY OF FINANCIAL SECURITY, SO WHY SHOULD THE FUND BE GIVING THEM FINANCIAL SUPPORT!?

..and cough. Up some money for the McCanns.

They need the funds to make more scary cinema adverts Wink

It's also interesting to note that the Madeleine Fund has a registered company number, but not a registered charity number.


The fund cannot be a registered as a charity because it doesn't help the public: http://www.bringmadeleinehome.com/fund/faq.asp

Being a company of course does mean though that there are less restrictions on what they do with the money and they are less accountable. The accounts will have to to be lodgd at Companies House though.

Interestingly one of the finds aims is to 'bring her abductors to justice'.... I wonder what would happen to all the donations if it the parents become suspects and it was needed as a defence fund for the family. Would people be able to get their money back?

It doesn't like my Gmail address, but I digress.

I wonder what the Daily Obsess is saying today?

And for the last four ruddy days:

Coincidentally on the same day it gets reported that police have told the McCanns to stay in Portugal the McCanns give an interview to Spannish papers. According to the Daily Mail...
Daily Mail posted:
The parents of Madeleine McCann have insisted their daughter is alive and may be in Spain.

Kate and Gerry McCann gave interviews to Spain's three top-selling newspapers in which they insisted there was a 'very real possibility' their daughter had not been killed

This appears to go against recent Portuguese police statements acknowledging for the first time that Madeleine could be dead.

It's almost as if they have someone in PR advising them, as whenever a negative story starts appearing into UK reports they manage to find something to (hopefully) shift the media attention away from it. Maybe I'm being a bit cynical.

The Daily Obsess is still running on Madeleine - now focussing on the 'MUM'S FURY AT 'YOU KILLED HER' SLUR'.

There was no 'you killed her' slur.

Now surely the McCanns realise that every possibility must be investigated?

And the murder of Rhys Jones has been confined to a squeeze at the top of the page. Their attitude seems to be 'Never mind - if it's a working class boy from Liverpool it's OK...' Rolling Eyes

The Express are still running with it today, the daily headline "Madeline: .....", even after the Mcann's have asked the press to stop reporting non-stories everyday

Also the family and friends of the boy from Liverpool must be seriously offended
