I must admit that they are seriously getting on my nerves.

I am sick of seeing them swan about "looking" for their child.

FFS how many other children have gone missing since (and before) theirs, but getting a fraction (if any at all) press coverage.

That photo on the linky above shows them walking passed a crowd of people waving at the McWotsits as if they are at a film premier or something. (how lone before that actually happens??)

Just out of interest, have either of them given up their "day" jobs yet to search for their child, or are they still drawing their large paychecks? Don't forget he's a consultant something or other and she a GP. So they must be earning a nice little wage.

Oh yes...when can we expect the book, closely followed by the made for TV film?

Don't get me wrong, it is a shame and all that for Maddy, my heart goes out. Weird parental type feelings I thought I would never have till I had my own children. But FFS.

Robert Murat's lawyer has been saying what many of us have been thinking from the start ~

if you read it, read the comments section below it as well, support is waning (to say the least)

Good for him.

You fucking started the media circus, love. It's a bit much to complain about it now they've turned on you.

The twins' lives would be somewhat less disrupted if their parents were there with them.

Well, this kid is very cute, that's probably part of all the press, however sad that may be.

 

Mr. Trent: I feel the same way, though hate is a strong word for me. I dislike them very much and wish they would have been kidnapped instead and some better relative could have taken and brought up their children.

 

I feel so angry at these parents that it's extremely difficult to find any kind of sympathy or compassion for them, which is rather odd for me, but there you have it. Bad parenting accounts for much of the crappiest crap of the crap in the world of crap.

Three quarters of the way down the article is a picture of a guy playing bagpipes and an older woman captioned "A piper in Glasgow and Madeleine's grandmother" 

What is that for?!

(fail)

Just as in "might be dead"? Might be? They've finally admitted that's a possibility? What kind of investigations were they doing? I should add that it's not funny one way or another if she is dead, it's just all the more ironic that the headline reads that way - I wouldn't want someone to think I found the overall situation funny, hence why I didn't want to name it that.

What makes it all the worse for me is that these two "parents" are supposedly intelligent people.

He a consultant Doctor and she a GP (General Practitioner (Doctor) for our non British friends)

FFS where actually were their brains????

Have you seen their web site? Linky

It's the international bagpiping championships in Glasgow just now, which is where her dad's family is from. So I presume it's to do with that.

 

Or maybe to flush her out, in some kind of inverse pied-piper scenario.

Man that fighting fund is looking pretty healthy. Maybe we should have asked them to pay our hosting bill for the next year, seeing as how we have threads on here about Maddy and are therefore looking for her just as hard as they are.

Ah right. I think she's been dead since day one personally.

Many of you need to learn not to give a fuck. Arrogant taxi driver outrage and man-in-pub speculation is what fuels media interest in a story like this. A better plan would be to just go out and look for the child. The best outcome here would be a found child - dead or alive. Slight preference for alive.

We were in a taxi the other week and we got stuck in a traffic jam.

 

The driver said "It's always the same in black areas, they've got too many cars".

 

I wanted to hang him from a tree, but the others decided refusing to pay him was a better option.

That's offensive on at least two levels. Quite apart from being blithely racist, it's not even funny. Referring as it does to that well-known racial stereotype that black people own more cars than other people (WTF?).

Well I would have thought it was obvious - they shouldn't be allowed to drive. :?

 

He swore at us when we got to where we were going when we told him we weren't paying because he was a racist cunt. Hoorar.

from what I can gather, she was put to bed at 6pm, the parents were sure that none would wake during the evening and the checking wasn't always visual (sometime they listened at the door)

I rekon these doctors were in the habit of doping the kids so the could have an evening out without worry (McCanns refused a urine test for the twins)

Possible bad reaction / overdose / other complication (kid sick while asleep?)

ALSO

I do not understand the mothers first reaction, she ran from the room back to the bar screaming "they've taken her"

1. one kid is missing so you leave two more alone again ??
2. "they've taken her" ?? who? how do you know she didn't just wander off?

I think I'd be shouting (from the room) "Maddie is missing", "GERRRRYYYYYYY !!!" or something similar - to instantly assume someone has abducted a missing child is a bit of a leap - almost everyone who's got kids has had a scary moment when they didn't know where the kid was for a minute

Funny how you criticise people for making "a bit of a leap" shortly after you declare your suspicion that they were not only drugging their children, but that this may have lead to a death, all based on the evidence that they went out for a meal.
