PM At Risk Of "Betrayal" Over Press Regulation
Victims of media intrusion, including Kate and Gerry McCann, call on David Cameron to honour his "promises" on new rules.
Kate and Gerry McCann have won libel damages over false stories
Victims of media intrusion have accused David Cameron of failing to keep his promise to implement a system of press regulation with "real teeth".
In an open letter, published in the Guardian newspaper, a number of signatories – including Kate and Gerry McCann – claim the Prime Minister is at risk of "betraying" the public.
The McCanns have received libel damages after false stories were published about their daughter Madeleine’s disappearance in 2007.
Other signatories include Christopher Jefferies, who was wrongly accused of the murder of Joanna Yeates, and relatives of people who died at Hillsborough.
Mr McCann told the Guardian: "Feelings are very strong among those of us to whom the Prime Minister publicly and privately made his pledges.
"If he does not keep his promises to implement the cross-party agreement in full, allow the Leveson Inquiry to be completed and put the needs of the public before press proprietors, we will have been betrayed by him."
Culture Secretary John Whittingdale announced last year that he was considering scrapping plans to force newspapers to pay court costs in libel and privacy cases, whether they won or lost.
The idea had been part of a cross-party agreement.
A spokesman for the department of culture, media and sport told the Guardian: "No decision has been taken about when to commence the cost provisions. The matter is still under consideration."
The signatories of the letter say they wrote to Mr Cameron in November, requesting a meeting to discuss their concerns. They say the PM declined.
Instead, they claim Mr Cameron met newspaper proprietors, including Sun and Times owner Rupert Murdoch and his editors, "on no fewer than seven occasions" between June and December 2015.
The letter states: "We believe that it is not just us whom you are at risk of betraying, but Parliament, the public at large and the future victims of a press industry which was condemned by Leveson for 'wreaking havoc in the lives of innocent people'.
"If your promises are not kept, history tells us that newspapers will wreak that havoc again. It is not too late. Please honour your promises."
Downing Street told the Guardian it would not be commenting until it had received the letter.

That should set off a good few bile eruptions from the haters, and produce yet more bollox from the conspiraloons as they apply their Armchair Defective skillz to inventing yet more bizarre conspiracy theories to explain this away.
This wasn't supposed to happen, according to them - and we all know how the haters shriek and whine if the McCanns dare to stand up for themselves.

No, foolish person, the 'general population' couldn't give a flying one, not being obsessed with abusing the family of a missing child. It's not the 'general population' that are screeching and bloviating in this tiny corner of the internet.
Just the same old hate squad.

@dankennik No one has the right to troll. What I have read today is disgraceful, uninformed & illiterate from a baying lynch mob
Yup. And it must be remembered that the lynch mob use the utter garbage the media invented to sell papers as an excuse for their illiterate baying.
Haters know NOTHING about the real case.

Gerry McCann - Never seen so many Trolls on one trend. You guys need collective intervention. Seriously.
The haters are beyond help. Abusing the McCann family is the only thing that matters to them. Sadly, there have always been sadistic bottom-feeders like them - in the past, they would have been found in lynch mobs, or laughing at witch burnings, or denouncing their neighbours to the secret police.
The pretendy 'researchers', the ones that are only 'asking questions', the cod-scientists babbling about 'body language' and 'speech analysis' the 'intellectual hatebloggers' - it's all just an excuse for their lynch mobbing, and each and every one of them is exactly the same.
Bottom-feeding, moronic sadists.

@chris_a_tye Well you're behind the curve. We've read the files. #McCann
No, you haven't.
You've watched Hoho's propaganda videos.
Because anyone that has read and UNDERSTOOD even the amateur online translations, or the statements in English by people like the Family Liason Officers from the UK, knows that the McCanns are guilty of nothing more than making a bad decision with terrible consequences.
And normal, decent people think There but for the Grace of God...
But there's nothing normal or decent about the obsessed hate brigade.

Incidentally, the police of two nations, two legal systems, two governments, etc., have read the full and complete real files, properly translated as required.
Why have none of these people come to the same conclusions as the moronic, sadistic hater trolls?

They're so far gone, they don't even realise how much they disgust people - or that their moronic, sadistic behaviour makes their opinions totally valueless. They're like those people, often drunk or drugged, you see in cities shouting and screaming abuse at passers-by.
That's all the haters are.

Gerry McCann receives torrent of abuse after TV appearance
Wednesday 6th April 2016
Kate and Gerry McCann still searching for their missing daughter Madeleine
Gerry McCann appeared on BBC news to voice his concern about press intrusion in the UK - and was then subjected to hours of abuse by a host of unsympathetic viewers on Twitter.
The McCanns hit the headlines back in May 2007 when their daughter Madeleine vanished from their holiday villa in Portugal, sparking a worldwide search that has so far failed to find the youngster who would now be 13.
Gerry and his wife Kate have been the subject of huge media scrutiny in the years since Madeleine’s disappearance, with their desire to court publicity in the bid to promote the search for their missing daughter sparking an often vitriolic level of abuse for the couple.
“The Prime Minister promised us that the victims would remains at the centre of press regulations, but we feel that our views are now being pushed aside and the press barons are now at the centre of this again,” McCann told the BBC.
“We have not see too many changes with the press. It is incredibly intimidating for people to take on massive media organisations legally. We want proper regulation for the press.”
McCann’s appearance after a period away from the media spotlight served to highlight the level of animosity that remains regarding him and his wife Kate, with his name trending on Twitter in the aftermath of all the mentions, the vast majority of which were not suitable for publication.
There was criticism of the fact the McCanns had used a high-profile PR company to help them keep the campaign to find their daughter in the media while others were unhappy that a fresh appeal to help find his daughter was not made.
That's all the haters are.

....And bizarrely, Mrs Sickbucket thinks that's a good thing. They're all too THICK to realise that, when they spewed that appalling abuse, then turned on any passing journo that commented on how dreadful they were -
THEY CONFIRMED EVERY SINGLE THING GERRY MCCANN CLAIMED ABOUT HOW DAMAGING FALSE PRESS REPORTS HAD BEEN.
Haters never have been known for their smarts, though.
