McCanns: Never mind writing a book, they should be brought to book

McCanns: Never mind writing a book, they should be brought to book

The latest money making scheme the McCanns have come up with to profit from the disappearance of Madeleine is to publish a book. It is claimed that: "The couple are determined to counter many of the false stories which have been circulating since their daughter disappeared in Praia da Luz on May 3 last year". But what about the false stories circulated by the McCanns themselves? For example, the fictional break in which the police discovered never happened? This puts the McCanns firmly in the frame for having killed and disposed of Madeleine's body. Why else would they invent a fictional account?

It is understood that the McCanns intend to use a ghost writer. What a shame that the ghost of Madeleine will not be able to set the record straight.

I find it annoying that Clarence Mitchell refers to "the night Madeleine was kidnapped" as though it was a fact that Madeleine was kidnapped. Let us not forget that this is only the McCanns version of events. The evidence does not support this. It is pure spin coming from a spin doctor who's job it is to sell fiction as though it was the truth. Another annoying comment coming from the lips of Clarence Mitchell is in relation to "Goncalo Amaral plans to publish his own book about the case", and that is "an attempt to make money out of the situation". From the word go the McCanns have made money out of the situation. It was not that long ago that they milked money from the findmadeleinefund to pay for their mortgage on their house in Rothley.

Leaking of an email

Quite a convenient title, given the present situation in Downingstreetgate, however, I must confess that this story relates to a different email, one that I received, and am about to leak here. It was sent to me from the book publishers The Friday Project, and offering me a book deal. It states: "I found your blog via a comment you left on Rachel North London's blog (we're publishing her book) and it struck me that your's is a fascinating story". The Friday Project's slogan reads "turning the best of the web into the finest of books", (please note the Fink, as you appear to have let this slip through your fingers on your web grab).

Recently, The Wife In The North has got a book deal. I am sure that when the web and blogs took off that this kind of development was not envisaged, simply because it is an alternative means of communication from the mainstream. However, this cross over is not just restricted to books. For example, Iain Dale of 18doughtystreet.com the internet TV station has also recently been popping up here, there and everywhere on terrestrial TV. I suppose it is a bit like the indy film companies who start out being separate and then become so successful that they end up becoming absorbed into the mainstream.
