He likes Russian things. I think he maybe applied for a job with Pravda and they turned him down, and he's been living out the fantasy ever since. Well sorry Ludicrous, but the old days of the Soviet Union and complete control of the proletariat are long gone and people are capable of speaking and reading for themselves, now.ratonthebeamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07896383824492314948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388977942755921926.post-69828049329078095922008-01-09T01:19:00.000+00:002008-01-09T01:19:00.000+00:00“If we feel any particular proposal in the media h...“If we feel any particular proposal in the media has validity in helping us find Madeleine, we are happy to discuss it (...)

How do they expect us to accept their commercial interests have anything to do with little Madeleine? The sooner this lot are brought to justice the better and I am so pleased their legal status as arguidos is putting a block on their revolting schemes. <BR/><BR/>Viv x <BR/><BR/><BR/>Talks in progress to make Madeleine McCann film<BR/><BR/><BR/>Fred Attewill<BR/>Tuesday January 8, 2008<BR/>Guardian Unlimited <BR/><BR/><BR/>Madeleine McCann. Photograph: AP<BR/> <BR/><BR/><BR/>Representatives of Madeleine McCann's family have spoken to an entertainment and media company about turning the story of her disappearance into a film.<BR/>Clarence Mitchell, the spokesman for Gerry and Kate McCann, said the meeting with IMG before Christmas was positive, but that no deal had yet been signed.<BR/><BR/>Talks on a lucrative film deal were held amid concern the £1.2m fund dedicated to finding the four-year-old, who vanished in Portugal last May, is rapidly running out.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Article continues<BR/><BR/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR/><BR/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR/>The family have hired a Spanish private detective agency on a £50,000 monthly retainer, and a widespread advertising campaign is adding to the bill.<BR/>"We have had a preliminary meeting with some producers and directors from IMG with a view to discussing an idea for a film. We've not agreed anything, we're not about to sign anything," Mitchell said. "We like the proposal, we thought it was fair, but there are others."<BR/><BR/>The board of Madeleine's Fund is due to meet this week and will discuss the proposal. Mitchell said the film may have a "cinema feel", and would be key part of replenishing Madeleine's Fund.<BR/><BR/>"If in theory a large film were to be made our lawyers would make sure our commercial interests are protected," he said. "Madeleine's Fund is just over £1m. The money is going on investigators and advertising. It's dwindling. The money is going. I would imagine we've got a few months left. It's not going to last the year unless we get more money in."<BR/><BR/>In addition to a film deal, Mitchell said it was a book deal was possible "at some point down the line", as part of efforts to find Madeleine.<BR/><BR/>Mitchell said he was still being inundated with offers for interviews with the McCanns, but added: "They cannot get involved in anything personally until their status [as suspects under Portuguese law] is lifted."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507323081802465917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388977942755921926.post-56113846027065306652008-01-08T13:25:00.000+00:002008-01-08T13:25:00.000+00:00Hey Doc good to hear from you in your busy day!I a...Hey Doc good to hear from you in your busy day!<BR/><BR/>I also get the impression Clara is frustrated in his career and does not progress and last anywhere because he does share a similar bombastic personality style to Gerry - that would help them get along - or would it?? Both would need to be in control. Does Gez have to knuckle under a bit here - he does not like just standing by and keeping his mouth shut does he. I could see some major rows developing between these two - would love to be a fly on the wall when that breaks out! Apparently he spends two days a week coming down to Rothley from his home in Bath so who is he spending his days with now that Gerry is back in full time work...Would Kate be allowed to dictate "policy" or spend time alone with him - suspect not! Presumably Gerry is taking a day off tomorrow for this big meeting or maybe it is at night. <BR/><BR/>What do you think of McVey standing down?<BR/>I suppose some of what he says about the press just presenting an angle is true. It did not escape that almost like clockwork the DE would run an anti-McCann story immediately followed by a Pro one ! Maybe he is a little resentful that contrary to his best efforts there have been so many damaging ones for the McCanns. <BR/><BR/>Like you say the fact that he is just a paid mouthpiece for the McCanns wealthy backer makes it impossible to place any credence in a word he says - by leaving proper journalism he has left a potentially decent future behind and sold his soul to the devil and having just had another look at his face at the top of me blog would not want to be close to him!<BR/><BR/>Agree great to see our Lady back bless her!<BR/><BR/>Luv Viv xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507323081802465917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388977942755921926.post-28571435651120071232008-01-08T12:57:00.000+00:002008-01-08T12:57:00.000+00:00"When Mitchell left the BBC in 2005it was because ..."When Mitchell left the BBC in 2005it was because he had reached a plateau, having being passed over for the role of royal correspondent and realising he would never present the Ten O'Clock News."<BR/><BR/>Hmmm... 20 years as a journalist and then this. Now he has so much to say about journalists and the media printing stories because of a 'good angle'. Do I detect just a tinge of bitterness Clara? I suspect if you were offered the editorship of a mainstream UK paper tomorrow you may even take it. What would be your 'angle' then? It's all about image, ego and control for you, old boy. Just like it is for Gerry.<BR/><BR/>Just 2 more things: are your own press releases not shaped to present a 'good angle' too? Lastly, as you are a paid employee of the McCann's main backer you couldn't really say any different could you?<BR/><BR/>Doesn't fool me though and I'm sure the majority who read your lame tripe feel the same way.<BR/><BR/>By the way, nice to see you around, Josie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388977942755921926.post-38856393455479413742008-01-08T11:37:00.000+00:002008-01-08T11:37:00.000+00:00JOSIEPUBLIC!!!How fab to hear from you darling!!I ...JOSIEPUBLIC!!!<BR/><BR/>How fab to hear from you darling!!<BR/><BR/>I really like you New Year message to Clara suggesting he has a word with his (non-existent) conscience. <BR/><BR/>Like you say we recognise tat when we see it. I have just been reading the DE and there is speculation whether he personally can profit from interviews, books etc. I would query whether he can because he has come into possession of that information whilst working for the d/g man - I have a feeling his employer will own all the rights to this and has quite probably made him sign a contract just to confirm it - maybe this d/g man just smelt more money to be made. What a nice chap eh? <BR/><BR/>These grasping idiots including her father completely lose sight of dear little Madeleine in the avaricious race to make money. How sickening!<BR/><BR/>You can't defend the indefensible and their record will speak for itself.<BR/><BR/>JUSTICE FOR MADDIE!<BR/><BR/>lOVE YOU LOADS DARLING AND THANKS FOR YOUR POST<BR/><BR/>I just read yet again on the DE from 2345 this time that you are really missed so I hope we will be hearing your words of wisdom more often - we all love and respect you so much!<BR/><BR/>Viv xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507323081802465917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388977942755921926.post-270943342122115062008-01-08T11:19:00.000+00:002008-01-08T11:19:00.000+00:00Liv darling Id like to leave a new year message to...Liv darling Id like to leave a new year message to Clarence if you don't mind.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hey Clara, I think you may be in a pickle because you believe that any PR is good PR (I hadn't missed that over the months) But if you can pull your head out of the woolly spin for a second lets not forget Ratners.<BR/><BR/>Us ordinary people recognize tat when we see it and even those who didn't at first will have been educated by YOU!!!<BR/><BR/>This was never about you but a little girl who it seems at the worst may have come to harm at the hands of her parents and at the best wasn't worth the thirty quid for a babysitter and whose body has ended up in an unmarked grave.<BR/><BR/>You think we are scum? God help the innocents of this world if the likes of you are allowed to interfere in an ongoing investigation and are not charged for attempting to pervert the course of justice.<BR/><BR/>Lets hope that you are remembered for this one big story- may it follow you forever.<BR/><BR/>You cant defend the indefensible.<BR/><BR/>Justice for Madeleine. <BR/>God keep you sweetheart.XXXjosiepublichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01185719573376547546noreply@blogger.com
