Madeleine McCann Parents Angry

[m0et]

THE parents of Madeleine McCann were angry and upset yesterday after neighbours were sent leaflets claiming they were to blame for her death.
Vile campaigners put copies of the four-page publication though every door in their home village of Rothley, Leics.

Produced by the "Madeleine Foundation", it included "Ten Reasons Why Madeleine McCann was Not Abducted".

Maddie vanished in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007 when three. The leaflet says if she died in the family's holiday flat those who caused or allowed the death "got away with it".
The group, which claims wildly that Kate killed Maddie and Gerry helped hide the body, added "Reasons Why Her Parents Should Be Prosecuted."

The McCanns, both 41, were said to be "totally horrified".

A source close to them said: "This is an evil, despicable act. These people are self-obsessed, self-absorbed individuals."

The group claims on its website it is dedicated to combating child neglect.

Its secretary is disgraced solicitor Anthony Bennett whose bid to bring a private prosecution against the McCanns last year was thrown out of court.

The McCanns' spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: "We don't wish to dignify the actions of the so-called Madeleine Foundation in any way."

Foundation chairwoman Debbie Butler denied harassing the McCanns. She said: "We were perfectly within our rights to distribute the leaflets."

[amandaooo]

I'm just about to read this from their website:


http://madeleinefoundation.org/main/30-reasons/


That's interesting background on Mr Bennett.

[hollo]

im not saying they did it but it is very suspicious how there was no randsome note / no motive for taking her - if it was planned by anyone - what did they intend the outcome to be?

if it was oppertunist im sure the evil deeds would have been done and this would all be over now.

makes me think of "war on terra" (terra firma/earth) and how the plan is to keep war going to divide and conquer.

just my ramblings tho

[triso]

Well sex trafficing isnt it, they dont need a ransom. thats one theory.. they look dodgy is you ask me

[snapdragon]

There are some suspicious links to this case and Common Purpose.

[QUOTE]
Anthony John Stuart Bennett (commonly known as Tony Bennett, born 7 September 1947) is an English politician and campaigner. He was a member of the British political party Veritas and was listed on the database of the Electoral Commission as official leader for three days, before the real leader was revealed as Robert Kilroy-Silk.

In 2006, he began a private prosecution against Michael Barrymore for alleged drugs and drink offences committed on the night Stuart Lubbock was found dead at the entertainer's home. Bennett co-wrote a book with Terry Lubbock, the father of Stuart Lubbock, Not Awight: Getting Away With Murder, explaining their theory that Stuart Lubbock died as a result of a violent attack on him which Barrymore and his associates that night covered up.


Political career

Bennett became active in politics when he lived in Derbyshire from 1972 to 1978.[1] In May 1976, he was voted onto North East Derbyshire District Council as an Independent Labour candidate for the Hasland Ward, where he served until 1978.[1] In 1978, he moved to Harlow where, in 1985, he joined Harlow Constituency Labour Party.

Bennett founded two credit unions in the 1980s - the Harlow Community Credit Union in 1980 and, in 1988, the Harlow Council Employees Credit Union.[citation needed] They merged several years later to form HarlowSave Credit Union.[5]

In November 1997, Bennett left the Labour party and joined the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP).[1] In April 1999, he became the Campaign Manager for UKIP's Eastern Region campaign and, in July 1999, he became Political Assistant to Jeffrey Titford, UKIP MEP, a post he held until February 2001.[1] In January 2000, he co-founded the UKIP's Metric Martyrs Fund with Jeffrey Titford, and published leaflets encouraging traders to defy the new laws making it an offence to sell fruit, vegetables and other "loose goods" using weighing scales calibrated in pounds and ounces.[6] He stood for UKIP in Harlow in the 2001 General Election, where he finished fifth with 1,223 votes (3%).[7]

A Eurosceptic, Bennett was a member of The Drive the Flag campaign founded by Leeds businessman Peter Rogers, to allow national flags on vehicle number plates, in the face of proposed government legislation which would have only allowed the European Union (EU) symbol on the number plates.[8] In December 2001, the Government announced that it planned to permit the display of the Union flag as well as the national flags of England, Scotland and Wales vehicle numberplates in the UK.[9] As of November 2008, this dispensation had yet to be implemented.[10]

In early 2002, he was banned from holding office in the party in 2004 after he privately circulated a pamphlet in which he called the prophet Muhammad a paedophile for having consummated his marriage to his child bride Aisha when she was nine years old, which Bennett stated would have been prosecuted today as a case of child sexual abuse. The pamphlet also warned of the probable rise of militant Islam in the UK, which were later claimed to be part of a "reasoned, academic exposition" aimed at explaining the reasons behind the September 11 terrorist attacks. UKIP described Bennett as "an energetic campaigner, with some extremely eccentric and individualistic views".[11]

On 15 August 2004, Bennett began work as Robert Kilroy-Silk's researcher and became a founder member of the Veritas Party in January 2005. In February 2005, however, Bennett was involved in controversy when it was revealed that he had previously co-founded the People's Campaign to Keep the Pound with Ian Anderson, a former chairman of the far right, white nationalist party, the National Front.[11] Bennett denied any knowledge of Anderson being chairman of the National Front at the time the two men formed the campaign, describing Anderson as an "English patriot".[11]

Bennett was a co-founder of the Campaign for a Referendum on the European Constitution (CREC), which campaigned using purple pre-addressed postcards to send to Queen Elizabeth II, asking her to refuse Royal Assent to any Bill to adopt the EU constitution, until the British people had had the chance to accept or reject it in a referendum.[12]

After Tony Blair agreed to a referendum in May 2004, CREC changed its name to the Campaign to Reject the European Constitution. The CREC maintained that the EU constitution was part of an attempt to create a European superstate.[12]

Bennett stood for the Veritas party in Harlow in the 2005 General Election, securing 941 votes (2.4%) and finishing fifth out of five just behind UKIP's John Felgate on 981 votes (2.5%).[13]

Removal of road signs

Whilst still a member of UKIP, Bennett co-founded the Active Resistance to Metrication (A.R.M.), a pressure group opposed to the metrication, in June 2001.[14] In 2002, as part of a campaign by the group, Bennett removed various road and footpath signs in metres which the group claimed contravened the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002.[15] He was prosecuted for an action in Kent where he removed about 40 metric signs. He was found guilty in May 2002 of theft and criminal damage by Maidstone Magistrates' Court.[2] In October 2002, his conviction for theft was overturned by Judge Keith Simpson at Maidstone Crown Court. Judge Simpson upheld the conviction for criminal damage but discharged the sentence, which had been 50 hours of community service to an Absolute discharge.[16] Up to September 2004, Bennett was arrested six times as part of the group's campaign to remove metric signs which they claim are illegal. He was charged three times, but received only the one conviction in 2002.[14]

Bennett has since been actively involved in the direct action group CountyWatch, which has relocated road signs marking modern administrative county borders to historic county borders in a number of English counties, including Lancashire.[17] These campaigns were justified by CountyWatch under section 131 of the Highways Act 1980, which allows members of the public to remove road signs which are "not lawfully placed on the highway".[18]

Stuart Lubbock

In January 2006, Bennett started a private prosecution against the entertainer Michael Barrymore over alleged offences involving drink and the possession and use of Class A and Class B drugs by Barrymore during the night when 31 year old Stuart Lubbock was found dead at Barrymore's house in March 2001. The prosecution was blocked by a District Judge (Magistrates' Court) at Southend-on-Sea Magistrates' Court on the grounds of insufficient evidence.[19] After the decision was made, Bennett announced that he had been acting independently but that he had the support of the Lubbock family.[19] Michael Barrymore released a statement in which he said, "Mr Bennett's motivation to seek the truth as to how Mr Stuart Lubbock received the injuries to his body is absolutely right. I remain totally committed, as I always have been, to continue to pursue the truth. Allegations about drugs on that night have always been a complete irrelevance as to how Stuart Lubbock suffered those injuries. The court held Mr Bennett's misguided application to prosecute me for drugs offences was an abuse of process."[19]

Before the decision was made not to allow the prosecution, Terry Lubbock, the father of Stuart Lubbock, met with Michael Barrymore, when it was alleged that Terry Lubbock told Barrymore he did not blame him for his son's death. Bennett, though, maintained that the private prosecution would proceed, but that he would reconsider if asked to drop the case by the Lubbock family. He added that evidence from the night of Stuart Lubbock's death, made available at the inquest, had not been seen by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).[20]

Bennett was secretary of The Lubbock Trust[21] which was founded by Terry Lubbock in late January 2006 and formally wound up on 22 June 2007.

He is the co-author, with Terry Lubbock, of a book analysing the events which led to Stuart's violent death, published in June 2007: Not Awight: Getting Away With Murder. Bennett claims that Stuart Lubbock's death was caused by a violent attack on him and that there was an elaborate cover-up of the true circumstances of his death including a staged drowning.[citation needed]

On 10 July, Bennett was informed by the Hate Crime Unit at Harlow police station that they had received a complaint about comments attributed to him about the practice of fisting on the Lubbock Trust website. The police said that as someone had accused him of a homophobic hate crime, they were investigating him over a hate crime. Bennett immediately complained to the Chief Constable of Essex, stating that there was no such thing in British Law as a homophobic hate crime. He stated further that, "There is material on the website which is critical of the lifestyle of homosexuals which activists might take exception to, but I don't have a problem with people from gay lobbies contacting us." Bennett however believed the complaint was made because of the forthcoming release of the Not Awight book.[22]

The police stated that they had received an allegation about homophobic comments being published on the website, and that Essex Police has to investigate all reports of hate crime. They continued that a full investigation was currently being conducted to identify whether offences had been committed.[23] The next day, 11 July, Essex Police Professional Standards Department referred his complaint to the IPCC to investigate.[23]

In a statement on 13 July 2007, which appeared on the Lubbock Trust website, Bennett said that the contents of the site had been agreed by all members of The Trust 13 months earlier, and that the reason for including the information was because it related directly to the probable cause of Stuart Lubbock's death. He added that due to concerns expressed by Lubbock Trust Chairman Harry Cichy that some of the material might be seen as 'homophobic', and following a complaint to the website's server, NetPivotal, and a request from them, some of that page had been removed.[24]

Terry Lubbock responded by distancing himself from the controversy saying, "This is a diversion from the campaign which I don't want to take any part in. My aim is as it has always been, to get justice for my son Stuart and that is the only thing in my life now. I'm not going to let anything distract me from that. This latest episode is not doing the campaign a lot of good."[22]

On 13 July 2007, during the launch of Not Awight, Terry Lubbock made a speech, in which he announced that Bennett would no longer be representing him and that The Lubbock Trust was being wound up as most of its original purposes had been achieved.[24] It was further claimed that Lubbock and Bennett had split following the police investigation into Bennett[22]

On 22 July, Essex Police announced that they had consulted with the CPS and that there would be no further police action. Bennett however, responded by saying that he wanted an outside police force to investigate Essex police's handling of the complaint and the actions of the Essex Police Hate Crimes Unit. He continued, "I have had to endure among other things headlines such as "Gay Hate of Barrymore Accuser" in the Daily Express. I need a full, fair and impartial enquiry by the IPCC into what Essex Police thought they were doing investigating something they must have known from the word go could never have been a crime."[25] In August 2007, it was announced that the police would be taking no further action against the complaint of homophobia on the Lubbock Trust website.[26]

hmmm...

• Don't look for their daughter when she disappears.
  
• Lie about every and any aspect (from before May 3rd to present).
  
• Have ultimate control over interviews and documentaries, irrespective of the fact that the information contained is not true.
  
• Have high-powered friends visiting 'difficult' witnesses and set them up with non-people-finding (i.e. financial) detectives.
  
• Message in the papers is largely controlled by former MMU and repeated liar Clarence Mitchell.
  
• Only car in ten, only apartment in forty, only trousers, only child's t-shirt (?), dog of 100% record reputation (£500 a day, etc.).
  
• Kate McCann only known 1.5 day a week locum to come into contact with six dead bodies?
  
• Medical records of missing child and bank details of McCanns required "excessive", so not passed on (described as "skint" by Philomena but seem to have bought themselves one of those big cars in the meantime - if you read the smallsmallsmallprint, though, paying for the family was one of the provisions of the fund).
  
• Texting the Team (including your fellow prime suspect who has yet to be questioned) during breaks in your police interview, to let them know what's going on.

Hmmmm....

Yeah, I think he's the one we should be worrying about...

[dancing_with_durga]

Up until a few decades back, there was a clear convention in the press that reportage and editorial-ship were kept separate. The reporters reported, the editors passed opinion in the leader and other columns. Of course there was always a certain slant, newspapers have always been propaganda, but 'fact' and 'opinion' were kept apart. Murdoch smashed that convention, and now it has largely gone, and so news and opinion are mixed together, and the reader of the news is also told what to think about it.

In this case, there has been no definitive legal conclusion. The McCanns haven't been directly accused, but there is sufficient doubt as to their version of events to leave a great deal of suspicion. If they had been tried in a Scottish court, the middle verdict of 'Not Proven' would result - we think you might have done it, but there is insufficient evidence to convict. The case is moot.

However, the Sun (i.e. Murdoch) has decided that they are innocent, so his propaganda sheets propagate that notion by slanting the reportage. I'd like to point out here how easy it is to do this, in this instance it is simply the use of two adjectives - 'vile' and 'wildly'. Below is the first half of the article with those two adjectives removed, and you can see how the whole thing immediately becomes much more neutral, reportage not opinion.

THE parents of Madeleine McCann were angry and upset yesterday after neighbours were sent leaflets claiming they were to blame for her death.
Campaigners put copies of the four-page publication though every door in their home village of Rothley, Leics.

Produced by the "Madeleine Foundation", it included "Ten Reasons Why Madeleine McCann was Not Abducted".

Maddie vanished in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007 when three. The leaflet says if she died in the family's holiday flat those who caused or allowed the death "got away with it".

We are all constantly bombarded with propaganda, so it is useful to understand the process by which it works, because when you can do that, as with subliminals, it becomes ineffective.

How to fuck would he know if they lied about every and any aspect ?

How do you know he's not connected with (and paid by) international paedophile ring to accuse parents?

Just to clarify - those are my words, by which I meant that after two years of reading their many and varied accounts starting from where they dined in the preceding nights, I can't still can't find anything that can be said to be true. If someone can help, however, I'd be most interested - is there anything that is true?
