Re: Madeleine McCann shopping bags and fine art prints - a clever, but believable, spoof

It really has never been about trying to find a missing child has it.
It is about Madeleine as a product, a brand, and marketing opportunities.
Even if TM are not doing this themselves, they must have given permission for the reproduction of the image.
I can't see how long these things have been on sale.

It seems someone has been playing with Photoshop again. Isn't it odd how it is always McCann-haters who 'find' these things so they can be outraged?

Hounder:

I have searched everywhere for words in the original link, using google, nothing comes up except this forum. I have searched Amazon, under tote bags, Madeleine McCann products, and even discussions, nothing. So where has this original link come from?

Best ask pretendypete, as he is the one who 'found' it.

Now he's wagging his finger at another MM poster for being 'wrong', and trollyjean is buzzing from one site to another keeping the pot stirred.

Now what was it Bennett said about fair comment defense?

Opinions - the "fair comment" defence protects honestly held opinions on matters of public interest, however extreme those opinions may be, but they must be based on accurate facts which are either set out in the blog or generally known. For example, if a blogger expresses the view that a person is corrupt because they took a payment which they should not have, if that person did not in fact take the payment the comment will not be protected by law.

That's Bennett sunk then, isn't it?

Oh yeah. Like the Titanic.

Exactly Bonny.

8. Malice - all the qualified privilege defences and the fair comment defence will fail if the blogger can be shown to have been "malicious" in publishing the allegations. In this context, "malice" bears a very narrow meaning, namely that the blogger has to be shown to have known the allegations were false, or was reckless or uncaring as to the truth of the allegations, when publishing them. (Amali de Silva).

This is an interesting one too.

6. Rumours/gossip - simply putting "allegedly" in front of a defamatory statement or relying on the fact that you are reporting what someone else has said will not usually be a good defence to a libel claim. If you report defamatory remarks made by A about B, you will need to be able to defend the statement as if it is one you made yourself. (Amali de Silva).

I quite like the above. Bennett is going to quote the disgraced cop, is he not?

Yes, Tony, and every bit of carp from Portuguese tabloids. However ridiculous. Oh, and he's going to use Arguido Cristovao's 'book' too.

That's the Arguido Cristovao who was kicked out of the PJ after the rape allegations, and after he was found guilty of helping himself to €800 of PJ funds.

The Arguido Cristovao who is currently charged with fraud, blackmail...oh, just about any kind of gangsterism you can think of.

Me, I can't wait to hear Bennett quote Arguido Cristovao.

Trollyjean tells MM what to do:


Re: McCann v Bennett: Court documents in the case can be made public
Not Born Yesterday Today
He isn't a member here and, for reasons that I don't know, new ones aren't being accepted at the moment.

1. Bennett was kicked out of MM under an extremely large cloud.

2. Mayhap MM admin know better than to let every nutter, troll, sock and WUM on the internet in? After all, it isn't MM that is going to be quoted in court, is it?

And it isn't MM who rolled out the red carpet for Birch, is it?

Neither is it MM that is faking its membership numbers.

It just gets better and better, doesn't it?

I bet his hounders are thrilled.

Here he is, making promises, back in May:

The English translation of 'The Truth About A Lie' by Anna Esse is one of the documents already exhibited to my two Affidavits and will form part of my defence to the committal-to-prison application against me by Dr Gerald and Dr Kate McCann - and part of my application to be released from some of the Court undertakings I gave to the McCanns and the High Court on 25 November 2007.

So will the entirety of 'astro's translation of A Estrela de Madeleine - 'Madeleine's Star' - by Paulo Cristavao.

Me, I can't wait.

It's pretty much all he has really. That's what they get for believing in a lying incompetent ex cop who wrote a book of fiction. At least Cristavao called his work fiction.

I wonder if Gonc is looking forward to the outcome of this?

The hounders certainly aren't, from the vile, sick remarks they are making just now. Maybe they are trying to be as hateful as possible before the law deals with Head Hounder?

Perhaps we could think of other items which would guarantee this is a spoof.

Baby alarms.

Heavy duty air freshener which remove all smells, even those of dead bodies.

Economy size bottles of Calpol.

Sick, sick sick. Why they bother pretending they don't hate Madeleine McCann just as much as they hate her parents, I do not know.

And pretendypete needs to explain how he 'found' that tacky thing in the first place.

Interesting that he has exhibited translations of these two books. I assume the translation is accompanied by a note of the qualifications of the translater. Oh - and of course written permssion from the publishers of the books - given that they own the copyright....

No? Oops.......

If memory serves, Guerra e Paz, the publishers of The Truth - I Lied, complained at one of the injunction hearings about unauthorised, amateur translations being on the internet, Jean-Pierre.

Bennett's cavalier attitude to these important details is astounding, but what else can you expect from someone with so little respect for the law?

http://thehoundingofthemccans.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/a-huge-hint-on-reason-i-believe-bennett.html

Quite; constantly repeating lies will not turn them into truth.

That article is awesome. Thank you, Tony, I hadn't seen that before.

http://www.gerrymccannsblogs.co.uk/court_docs.htm

31 - The documentary was published and sub-titled in English, by third parties who published it on the internet, without the knowledge and against the will of "VC Filmes"

That's interesting. The whole thing has a few golden moments, not least Gonc's thicko mouthpiece thinking the McCanns ran Pamalan's site.

At least the McCanns' legal representative was a bit more on the ball:

http://www.gerrymccannsblogs.co.uk/court_docs.htm

With respect to the publisher they argue that the book had been ready for publication
since April 2008, and, regarding the Internet blogs, they allege that the publishing
company knew the author of the blog that had appropriated the name of the father.
They adduced further that, through things observed on the Internet, it was clear that
that site had nothing to do with the parents.

I'll say it is, Tony. I liked this bit........


The lawful state bases itself on evidence, beyond doubt. The notion that innocence prevails over guilt when there is no evidence to the contrary is what separates civilization from barbarism.

Unfortunately, there are remains of barbarism among us. Until very recently, it headed the PJ in Portimão. I hope he was the last one."
