Gerry and Kate McCann have left their children once again for a lengthy period of time. Only on this occasion it is not to go for a meal and drinks at a tapas bar and leave them with out supervision for 3 hours, they are visiting the Pope in Rome. "The pair's twins, Sean and Amelie, have been left in the care of relatives". Let us hope that they care for them better than the McCanns did in Portugal. At least the cost of the flight and accommodation will not be coming out of the fund set up to allow the McCanns to stage gigs throughout Europe. Because Sir Philip Green has put his private jet at their disposal and they will be staying with the British Ambassador to the Holy See.
"The McCanns decided their two-year-old twins were too young to take on the trip to Italy, and left them with Mr McCann's sister, Trish Cameron, and her husband Sandy". However, they were not too young to take on the trip from England to Portugal. Nor, indeed, old enough to be left unsupervised for 3 hours, when it is alleged that Madeliene was abducted.
"Mrs McCann plans to give the Pope a photograph of Madeleine". Perhaps, she is hoping that he will keep an eye out for Madeliene in case she turns up in the crowd in Saint Peter's Square? Gerry McCann said "Meeting the Pope is so potentially hugely important to what we are trying to achieve as a family". What's left of the family, aye Gerry? And just exactly what are you seeking to achieve Gerry? How to be responsible parents? This statement from Gerry McCann is a bit rich "We never for one moment thought we would get such publicity, but it means we can get our message across". This coming from the man who sought to control the media coverage from the word go. And what exactly is that message Gerry, I'm still waiting to hear it? Perhaps, it is that you both did what you believe was right? What I would like to hear is when do you both intend coming home to face the music? Important things first, aye Gerry, off to Spain next to see the Beckhams. Then Germany, the Netherlands and Morocco...
In your own good time. I understand that it is supposedly to raise awareness about your daughter. We are aware that she is missing. And we know what she looks like from the photos spread throughout the world. What we want to know is what happened to her. Can you shed any light on this either of you?
