Lose the plot much?

Ratonthebeam to some no hoper...

Hello Lizzy! Even before I opened this email, I thought, now THERE's a name from the past!!! Good to "see" you again.

Viv has always been very disparaging of TB from Day 1. She sees him as a self-promoting attention seeker and has concerns that any action he takes might muddy the waters, and give the Mcs the chance to squeal that they are not getting a fair trial.

I can see her point sometimes, but I think there's a "personal" element too. I have no idea why she seems to have changed opinion that Madeleine may not be dead. That one puzzles me, TBH, I am not sure why she takes TB to task so much for assuming that M is dead, asit's an assumption everybody else seems to be making!

I would like to BELIEVE that there is a parallel UK investigation going on, but sadly I don't think there is. Again, I don't know Viv's grounds for believing that, unless she has some inside info that we are not party to.

I myself have some reservations re Tony, but on the whole I am a supporter. Like him or loathe him, he has breathed new life into this Forum and investigation, and for that alone he is to be applauded. With the things going on right now in Portugal, I am actually feeling more hopeful than I have done in a very long time.

There are also a number of people on here dissing Duarte Levy, but my gut instinct is to trust him, I think he is being done a terrible disservice here.

PM me anytime Lizzy, and mazel tov for your new home!

Djorn, aka Duarte Levy - so many suckers (1)

Subject: 24horas - Duarte Levy - There were mistakes on both sides

quote=ratonthebeam Honestly, you lot are fkn unreal; we have ONE JOURNALIST who is prepared to publish what the entire UK press can't (or won't), and you spend all your time looking for ways to discredit him!

This board makes me blo*dy sick sometimes; you are like a bunch of spoiled kids, stamping your feet and throwing a tantrum when you don't get what you want right away.

Some observations -

He is correct about UK Corporate Law. Under the Small Companies regulations, they are exempt from publishing ALL of their accounts - in particular the Balance Sheet, which is where the REALLY interesting stuff is. They would have had to declare it all if they had Charitable status.

There are 4 immediate McCann family members on the Board - Kate, Gerry, John and Uncle Brian. If you add John Corner onto that, as a member of the extended family, that gives you five votes from nine - i.e. a majority control over the Fund. Where has THAT been reported in ANY of the UK Press?

AND JUST BEFORE ANYONE ELSE STARTS - HE DID NOT REPEAT DID NOT EVER SAY HE WAS GOING TO TELL US ABOUT BRIAN KENNEDY IN TWO DAYS THIS IS FORUM RUMOUR. ASK YOURSELVES WHO STARTED IT, AND WHY.

It's no wonder he never posts on here nowadays, or Paulo Reis either, if that's how they are going to be treated.



Very nice from you. I will send a message to Levy and Paulo. Thank's.
