Dear Mr Bentley,
Thank you for contacting the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) regarding your complaint about an article headlined “Online trolls pay Madeleine McCann libel detective’s legal bills on eight year anniversary”, published by the Daily Express on 4 May 2015.
On receipt of a complaint, IPSO’s Executive reviews it to ensure that it falls within our remit, and discloses a possible breach of the Editors’ Code of Practice. The Executive has now completed an assessment of your complaint under the terms of the Code. Having considered the points you have raised in full, we have concluded that your complaint does not raise a possible breach of the Code.
You said that it was inaccurate in breach of Clause 1 (Accuracy) to refer to individuals who have contributed towards covering the legal costs of Goncalo Amaral as “trolls”. The newspaper was entitled to characterise those “funding the legal bills of a shamed Portuguese detective” as “trolls”. Further, the article included statements from a number of individuals who have made donations to Mr Amaral, as well as from the McCann family about their experiences, which would allow readers to reach their own conclusions on the matter. As such, your complaint did not raise a possible breach of Clause 1.
You also said that the article breached Clause 4 (Harassment). We should explain that the terms of Clause 4 generally relate to the conduct of journalists during the newsgathering process. Your concern that the article amounted to “harassment” to individuals who support Mr Amaral did not engage the terms of the Code, and did not raise a possible breach of Clause 4.
While we note your position that the term “troll” is offensive, we should explain that the Editors’ Code does not address issues of taste and offence. The Code is designed to address the potentially competing rights of freedom of expression and other rights of individuals, such as privacy. Newspapers and magazines have editorial freedom to publish what they consider to be appropriate provided that the rights of individuals – enshrined in the terms of the Code which specifically defines and protects these rights – are not unjustifiably infringed.
You are entitled to request the Executive’s decision to reject your complaint be reviewed by IPSO’s Complaints Committee. To do so you will need to write to us within seven days, setting out the reasons why you believe the decision should be reviewed. Please note that we are unable to accept requests for review made more than seven days following the date of this email.
We would like to thank you for giving us the opportunity to consider the points you have raised, and have shared this correspondence with the newspaper to make it aware of your concerns.
Best wishes,
Xavier Bastin

Don't know, don't care. But when is it going to sink in with the hater trolls that that tide is never going to turn for them, that tick is never going to tock.
And that the media detest them, not least because of all the abuse, often obscene, that the haters have hurled at reporters and journalists over the years?
Did they really think sending hate mail to the media was helping their sicko cause?

A numty comment on the Express letter, which demonstrates exactly why the media detests them:
Sharon Wheatley That makes the press the trolls then... there so full of shit .. these reporters they need flushing toilet handles instead of ears !!
No-one is going to give these creatures a sympathetic hearing, after being spoken to like that - and worse - for years.

Forker, on the Gonzo Scrounge Fund:
The media are supposedly going to report/feature? the fund when the 25k target is reached. If this is correct and they do I would like to think with more exposure more money would roll in. Nothing has been mentioned on twitter, maybe we will hear something soon.
Certainly hope so! That copy of the Sun should be a collector's item.

@JBLittlemore Infuriating to have to block/report all the 'giveaway' spam just to read a clean hashtag. #McCann
Or she could always try getting a life that doesn't revolve around pitchforking on #mccann.

What happened to innocent on till proven guilty, surely Goncalo can't be guilty till the McCann's prove an actual abduction took place
Stupid numty can't even see what's wrong with that statement.
Here's a clue.
SARDINEMAN falsely accused the McCanns of....just about everything under the sun, and his devotees are still doing so to this day.
Despite the McCanns having been cleared - without any charge - of any wrongdoing by the AG of Portugal, the PJ, Scotland Yard, etc.
This hasn't stopped the pondlife vigilantes from making vile, false allegations about the McCann family and others. All at the behest of SARDINEMAN, the convicted perjurer and general waste of space.
So, whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty, then?

Received a email today from IPOS regarding the Suns article calling us trolls , apparently they didn't breach any clauses by doing so . The part of my email that I find dam right disgusting is " you indicated that it was inaccurate to refer to individuals who have contributed towards covering the legal costs of Gonçalo Amaral as "Trolls" . The newspaper however characterised the hundreds of donations as a sick campaign and those making the payments as trolls , the newspaper was entitled to characterise the support of Mr Amaral in this manner and doing so did not raise a possible breach .
You'd need a heart of stone not to laugh at them.

@ChickEll there's talk of Goncs fund being "ring fenced" they're not very bright in these matters either #McCann
'Ring fenced'? They don't know much about it, then.....
Nothing resembling accounts have been produced for its 'parent' PJGA fund for FIVE YEARS - and then all that appeared, about the time there was some carry-on over credit cards, was this:
Project Justice Gonçalo Amaral – Solidarity Account
Information 18 January 2010
On the 18th of January, 2010, the Solidarity Account's balance is of EUR 5718,45.
PayPal donations, total: EUR 2819,49
Donations by direct debit/bank wire transfer, total: EUR 4400,00
Donations from fundraising dinner (14Jan2010): EUR 500,00
Bank transfer to Dr. António Cabrita, Gonçalo Amaral's lawyer: EUR 2000,00
Bank account expenses: EUR 1,04
The Citizens in Defence of Rights and Freedoms – Project Justice Gonçalo Amaral would like to thank everyone who has already contributed to this initiative.
A while back, it was announced that two people had to sign authorizations for whatever is in the Fund to be spent.
One was Gonzo's chum Sargento - and we all know about his somewhat spotty career - and the other was an unnamed person 'in the UK'.
If that's their idea of 'ring fencing', then I hope they never meet any Nigerian princes, as they appear to believe what total strangers on the intern claim about money.

I was inside of the first 150 people to donate and I am donating again.
You get the drift. It's the same people donating repeatedly, NOT 'thousands' of people donating.
Is this group intending to keep Gonzo for the rest of his days? Because it doesn't matter how much money they raise, it will never be enough for SARDINEMAN.
Just ask Portuguese banks, the Portuguese taxman, his own brother, etc., what happens to money if it gets anywhere near Gonzo.

It'll pick up next month when they get their Dole Cheques. Their kids will probably be on Beans and Chips, but I doubt their fag and booze habits will be affected.

I thought that, LL, though it's hard to be sure. It's certainly the same people donating, repeatedly. Maybe it is dawning on them that they are going to have to donate to Gonzo forever more? Or that £25,000 is just a drop in the bucket of his self-inflicted debts?
