What with that and Branson pledging £100k for the advertising campaign.. how long is this going to go on for without any new major developments?

It's still "Tonight" - just changed the topic of the show which they often do.

I though the £100K was for McCann's legal fees. I think Branson is on something. First he comes to the aid of the McCann's (not really wrong) but then sells off Virgin Megastores, which will be renamed Zavvi. He needs to sober up and buy back his record stores. I'll be sad to see the Virgin Megastores brand disappear. That's all I have to say on the subject.

yeah...like £100 k is going to go far with the legal team they've employed.

if he wants to make a gesture he'll have to dig deeper than that.

The Tonight special stinks of bias towards the family, so much for any (slim) hope of neutral unbiased reporting.

Should be a good police panto this year. Looking forward to it.


Laughing What no Diana? Although will the Express be claiming that the Duke of Edinburgh had a white Fiat Uno sent to tail Marc Bolan's mini and Gloria Jones was planted as a scapegoat?

There surely must be other things going on in the news that DE could put on its front cover. Northern Rock? Foot & Mouth?

Do you work for the Daily Express? Laughing Or maybe you got the sack?

I wonder if Maddie will be their new Diana, something which they can follow for years to come.

No I don't work for the Obsess . That would be my worst nightmare.

*extends pointer* I am illustrating the bipolar style of the Daily Express 's journalism by pointing out inconsistencies between each edition of the paper. For example, three weeks ago the Express was staunchly pro-McCann, using headlines such as 'MADELEINE: MUM'S FURY AT "YOU KILLED HER" SLUR'. However, in more recent editions they have started to be more suspicions of the McCanns.

*collapses pointer* I hope that clears things up.

I've already wondered what the editors are smoking when they produce these obsessive headlines.
