What Now BBC? What Now Mike O'Sullivan?

Will you be reporting the lifting of the book ban against Goncalo Amaral's, A Verdade Da Mentira with the same fervour that you reported the placing of the injunction?

As we all wait for Joana Morais to translate (now up) the reasons for court's decision to lift it's injunction, I thought I might post a video or two that highlights sycophantic McCann arse licker, Mike O'Sullivan of BBC's East Midlands Today.

By coincidence, it was only yesterday that I posted elsewhere on the subject of the biassed BBC, strangely enough on a blog of of the very same name. Biassed BBC

The first three videos epitomise the behaviour of fawning BBC hack, Mike O'Sullivan.

Might I ask you to concentrate, not on the loathsome words of McCann as he shamelessly uses his daughter for his own insidious ends, but rather give your attention to the brownnosing O'Sullivan as he pitches his contemptible softball questions at his paladin, the equally loathsome, Gerry McCann.

Typical to all these videos is the stark contrast between the ever so 'umble Mike O'Sullivan and any other journo at the scene. Sullivan, straight from the off then in this ninety second clip. You might remember this one better for McCann loosing it a tad.





In this next eight minutes, see if you can spot the difference between O'Sullivan and all the other reporters on the job. It is towards the end of this clip that McCann wants no more of a male Portuguese? reporter that is actually plying his trade. Feeling much the same I suppose, about her lovelyness, Sandra Felgueiras. Tip, O'Sullivan is the one with the English accent.





There is much in this next four minutes, O'Sullivan, sick bag required, comes in at 3m.15s, prior to that, and apart from shamelessly using his daughter, we are told, by McCann of course, that their stay in Portugal was, and I kid you not, "in an effort to aid the investigation."

A thesis, (McCann's new word) we are told, is, without evidence, meaningless. Funny then that McCann quotes the NOT finding a body, as EVIDENCE that Madeleine is probably alive. The bullshit that comes out pertaining to a reconstruction, is I think, best left.





I had forgotten that I had featured the following clip, "Pissed off with the McCanns," I wrote this at the time.

It's a pity this bloke, whoever he is brought the "class" issue into his argument, because apart from them not having any, it's not a class thing at all, something far bigger is, as we know, behind all this.

The McCanns and class, I ask you, it's like Joe Stalin and altruism. Class indeed, where's me razor blades?

Madeleine McCann: Which Part of Dead Do You Not Understand?

I suppose I can thank the lovely Sandra Fegueiras for taking the edge off my very considerable ire, pretty women tend to have that effect on me.

But Ire it was, and ire it is, and ire it will always be, until that is, someone puts a stop to these two creatures.

Is there nobody in this country, is there nobody that has the wherewithal to end this obscenity, is there nobody prepared to say, enough is enough?

Is there not one politician, not one cop, not one journalist among you that will bring this thing to an end? And I deliberately refrain from using terms like grow some balls or find a backbone, because it doesn't take these things to do what is required, it takes decency, a sense of what is right, morals, or better, moral indignation; indignation at seeing the wrong that is going on all around us.

There must be so many of you in a position to end this, there has to be, and you know who you are, but I beg you, don't sit back and wait for the other fellow to act, you act, you have it in your grasp to stop this vile canker from polluting decency and polluting this country further than it has already.

Please I beg you, I beseech you, put a stop to it, bring this abomination to an end.

Believe me, today's offering is by no means reflective of my disposition, not by a long chalk it isn't. And apologies if the above is a bit disjointed, I find it hard to be constructive when I'm so pissed off.







I came across this only the other day, how apt.





I'm afraid you ain't PC anymore Golly, we've moved on. When I weren't nowt but a nipper, there lived down the lane a woman with a dog, a black one obviously, why else would she call him Nigger. And nobody would have given it a thought in those days. We've moved on.




If your sensibilities are gentle, you may not wish to open this one. I don't know who photoshopped it, but he wasn't lacking in a sense of humour, or imagination for that matter.






The lovely Sandra Fegueiras, featured for herself rather than me having simultaneous posts under construction. The other being my old favourite, body language, I might post it tomorrow but my dear little Mammy has my attention for the most part of Thursday.

~ ~ ~

It seems I have been pre-empted on a few blogs, so here's just two stills and a clip and then it's done with.

The timing is on the slide bar of the stills, like puppets on a string when the crucial question gets asked.

"Do you consider the possibility of, errm... Madeleine not being alive?"

Have a bit more body language, that wanker Dave Edgar talking through his arse and nodding his head the wrong way and another itchy and scratchy from McCann towards the end.

McCanns Observed

I shall re-up this short clip, given now that I have had it explained to me.

I suppose I must have had my normal reaction when faced with this fellow on camera, and blanked it, whether that was consciously or subconsciously, I don't know, it matters not a bit.

This is how it was told to me by TTW4.

Gerald McCann - Just a Man

Sandra Felgueiras of RTP, the Portuguese TV station, is perhaps the McCanns complete nemesis of a news reporter. Sandra is a nightmare with a mouth as it is Sandra that can always be relied upon to be at these events, and it is to Sandra we must look for some straight questioning of the McCanns and their versions of the truth.

Sandra was the only reporter to ask Gerry McCann any questions. Another demonstration, in case it were really needed, of the hold the McCanns still exert over the media industry, not only in the UK but across the globe.

The frames shown here were grabbed from Sandras one question. They read from left to right with the final shot placed in the centre.

Gerry McCann still talking as he is questioned by Sandra. Sandra starts to ask her question and Gerry McCann immediately closes his eyes. This isn't a blink, this event lasted for a full half second.

Sandra continues and Gerry McCann now opens his eyes to take a long hard look at Sandra.....more, but don't dash off just yet.

Also in the telling, were details pertaining to the action brought by the McCanns against TVI, again entirely novel to me.

But this is a different post, recounting the events of yesterday in a blow by blow style of reporting, that was both interesting and easy to read.

This just a small piece taken from on of the many varying themes as the day and the article progressed.

McCann's Final Day in Court.

The McCanns argument appears to be based on the right of the TV station to simply discuss Amarals findings after the date of the McCanns injunction. Amarals views were aired prior to the injunction and then the station discussed and debated the consequences of Amarals version of events. It is this right to discuss and broadcast public debate that the McCanns are now contesting.

The McCanns are trying to gag the broadcaster for talking about something it had done when there was no civil or criminal restriction placed upon its actions. This is rather like a burglar being convicted of his crime and going to prison. Once there he has been overheard in his cell talking about the crime he has committed. As a consequence of being overheard discussing his daring deed the burglar is then dragged in front of another beak and given yet another sentence for simply talking about the first offence. TVI have not committed any criminal act and have not shown themselves to have acted in contravention of the McCanns gagging order. What possible grounds can the McCanns have for claiming TVI have acted in a criminal manner. On the face of the information available there does not appear to be a case to proceed with. more

Are we at last going to see a shift in the balance of things?

eta: Reflection on the same day in this fine article from Anna Andress. From My Big Desk

Unfinished Business: The Dogs Revisited

No great post this, just a few words to finished off a previous post that was cut short when my enmity got the better of me. I don't suppose I would have made mention of it really, but I had a prompt or two from McCann's Portuguese lawyer Isabel Duarte as she feebly tried to make a case for her clients in her summing up.

As much as can be gathered from the courtroom tweets she sounded pretty desperate, her diatribe I shall not, cannot really, go into.

A measure of her desperation reflected, not only in her calling (cop) Ricardo Paiva a liar, after he had left the stand I might add, accusing Goncalo Amaral of seeking revenge, and then for reasons known only to herself, decided to bring the dogs into the mix by offering this.



-->

Tweets from the courthouse.

5:07 @hannahtp: Duarte says Pavia has lied to the court during these proceedings. She says he has been inconsistent about the accuracy of sniffer dogs

5:22 @hannahtp: Duarte said that during the Madeleine investigation Pavia stated the sniffer dogs had failed at least once.

Which in turn motivates me to add one more photo to the previous post, An Interview With Sandra Felgueiras. You might ask, why go to this trouble for one graphic and one seemingly inconsequential question? and I can answer, unlike Gerry McCann of course, that it is far from inconsequential, and it is so because Gerry McCann cannot in fact furnish an answer.

And in not being able to give us an answer, makes his opinions about the dogs and all his pontifications, quite worthless, laughable in fact. And this answer or rather non-answer is just one more we can add to his anthology of lies, as we can add another bullet to our arsenal.

Just a reminder then of where we were when I abrubtly terminated Sandra's interview with the McCanns, both video of the interview and the transcript can be found here at The Maddie Case Files.

Perhaps I should say if you haven't as yet seen my previous interpretation of An Interview with Sandra Felgueiras, you might wish to do so before moving down this page.

Sandra: But this is the first time that you give us a big interview not being arguidos, not being arguidos. Since then. erm. So now I feel free to ask you this directly. How can you explain the coincidence of the scent of cadaver found by British and not Portuguese dogs?

Kate: Sandra, maybe you should ask the judiciary because they have examined all evidence. I mean we are also Madeleine's mum and dad and we are desperate for people to help us find Madeleine which is why we are here today. The majority of people are inherently good and I believe the majority of people in Portugal are inherently good people and I am asking them if they will help us spread this message to that person or people...

Sandra: So you don't have an explanation for that?

Gerry: Ask the dogs (smirk) Sandra.

Sandra: Ask the dogs? No Gerry. Now I feel free to ask you, don't you feel free to answer me?

Gerry: I can tell you that we have also looked at evidence about (haha) cadaver dogs and they are incredibly unreliable.

Sandra: Unreliable?

Gerry: Cadaver dogs, yes. That's what the evidence shows, if they are tested scientifically.

A simple enough question, do you think we might get a simple answer?

Hampering The Search For Madeleine. Perspective and Translation

Mrs McCann said: "Our main worry, obviously, was people believing that Madeleine was dead. "If people believe that she is not alive, then people will stop looking for her."

As you are probably aware the Portuguese Court is to hear appeals tomorrow against the temporary injunction that bans, among other things, the sale of Goncalo Amaral's book A Verdade Da Mentira.

Part of the complaint lodged with, in my eyes a somewhat dubious judge, was the claim that Goncalo Amaral's assertion that Madeleine McCann was dead would inhibit or hamper the search for the girl.

Leaving aside all the arguments that would endorse Amaral's conclusion, and leaving aside yet another disgraceful example of the McCanns abusing the name and memory of their dead child in yet another shameful and blatant attempt to protect their own worthless selves, leaving this apart, just who and just why would anybody be looking for Madeleine at all?

It does strike me as a rather odd that the McCanns include this as part of their argument when they themselves couldn't be arsed to go and search for their first born child in the hours immediately following the Madeleine's disappearance.

Kate: It was so dark...

Oprah: uh huh...

Kate: it was dark, erm I've never had such a long night it was dark and you're just praying for the light you know to come up to get out there it's just...

I have already made my feelings known regarding this extremely bizarre statement by the mother of the missing girl, I won't import it here, it is shall we say a tad passionate and a tad Anglo Saxon and perhaps not suitable reading for the prurient or small children.

Mrs McCann said: "Our main worry, obviously, was people believing that Madeleine was dead.

"If people believe that she is not alive, then people will stop looking for her." BBC

I took another look at this sixty second video clip today, in fact I have looked at it quite often, it's a classic.

If anybody was ever in doubt that the McCanns were up to their miserable necks in the death and disappearance of their daughter's body, they only need to watch Kate McCann squirm her way through these sixty seconds to dispel any doubt they may have harboured.

Short of a signed confession it's the nearest thing guilty I have ever seen in my life, as I say it's a classic, a pearler in fact.

But I did something else today, I made a transcript, read Kate McCann's response to the question put to her.

Q: I spoke to a lot of people over the weeks-local people that have given up a lot of time, you’ve talked about the support they’ve given you, I met people who didn’t go to work for more than a week because every day they were down on the beach, searching the streets. Did you as a mother Kate just sometimes think I’ve got to go and be out there with them, I want to go and just physically look as well?

Kate McCann. (Big sigh and shrugs shoulders)
I mean I did, erm tut we’d been working really hard really apart from the first forty eight hours as Gerry said were incredibly difficult and we were almost non functioning I’d say, erm but after that you get the strength from somewhere, we’ve certainly had loads of support and that’s given us strength and it’s been able to make us focus really so we have actually in our own way, it might not be physically searching but we’ve been working really hard and doing absolutely everything we can really to get Madeleine back.

Which translates in the lesser as: No, or in the greater: No there wasn't any point, Madeleine was already dead.


Here is another fine example from Madam McCann, this from the Sandra Felgueiras interview.

Kate: Yes I have read the files.

Sandra: What did shock you most? Any part of the... any detail that...you weren't... aware of? Something that has really surprised you or you didn't find anything?

Kate: Oh I have been through them and I have made notes and I passed that on to our investigation team obviously.

Sandra: And you found any evidence? Of anything?

Kate: Well obviously the only evidence I wanna find is who has taken Madeleine and where she is. They are the key things and until we actually get that bit of information you know we are always gonna feel like we are a long way away. But basically what we are doing is trying to get as much information as we can and trying to put the jig-shaw, jigsaw together, so finally we have the complete picture.

Again, short translation: yada yada waffle, or the longer: yada yada waffle, the only reason I read the files was to see how close we were to being brought to justice.

And to round off this post here be insight and common sense from:

Dimsie The Maddie Case Files.

Just Who is Looking

I've never been sure who these people who've stopped looking for Madeleine because of GA's book actually are. They can't be the McCanns' friends and relations because obviously they believe every word Kate and Gerry say about the 'abduction' and so will be ignoring anything Amaral says to the contrary.

They can't be the pro's that keep popping up in forums to tell us how we're all wrong and how dreadful Amaral is (and Tony Bennett too, of course), because they too are convinced Amaral is a monster for not believing in the 'abduction' and so they'll ignore him.

They can't be members of the public because most members of the public have jobs to go to, families to look after, lives of their own to lead, and are far too busy to head off somewhere looking for Madeleine. So who are they? Who has stopped looking for Madeleine because of Amaral's book?

Come to think of it, who has STARTED looking for Madeleine? I haven't read any reports in the papers about the friends and relatives of the McCanns combing the wilder parts of the area around PdL where Edgar informs us she's being held.

I can't see how the pro's who spend their time writing rubbish about the rest of us can have any time left over to join search parties; how many of THEM are in Portugal, knocking on doors and asking to inspect people's cellars?

I don't know of any member of the public who's gone anywhere looking for Madeleine, let alone join Dave and Arthur for a tramp around the lawless wastelands of the Algarve, where presumably white man has not yet laid foot.

I don't think either of Madeleine's parents is in Portugal, co-ordinating the search, though of course I could be wrong. Maybe we'll hear tomorrow that now that Kate has translated the files she's off to Portugal to tell the PJ how to start this most important search. But until I see it on tv I won't believe it.
.
Hmm, it seems NO ONE is looking for Madeleine, except a couple of incompetent (according to the Mail on Sunday) ex-cops, whose opinions change from one week to the next and who think that the way to find a child they're sure is entombed in a cellar in Portugal is to take a trip to Australia.
