Thorn In My Side


Now that apparently the desert scorching hot winds are no longer threatening to make toast out of bread left in the sunshine or to fry an egg on a car's bonnet and that the new winds seem to be trying to push South some really dark and stormy clouds, filled to the brim with rain and lightning, we would like to dedicate this song, which we think is very appropriate to describe what is the Maddie Affair to many people out there:

Thorn in my side.
You know that's all you ever were.
A bundle of lies.
You know that's all that it was worth
I should have known better
But I trusted you at first.
I should have known better
But I got what I deserved

To run away from you
Was all that I could do.
To run away from you
Was all that I could do.

Thorn in my side.
You know that's all you'll ever be.
So don't think you know better
'Cause that's what you mean to me
I was feeling complicated.
I was feeling low.
Now everytime I think of you
I shiver to the bone


From what we've been able to tell, it seems that it's NOT whatever amount of water pouring from the sky, with or without lightning, that will change the will of someone down South.

And the winds have got the weather all wrong. Rain and lightning are the result of LOW pressures, not HIGH ones.



Transcript:

Andrew Marr: I think we better start with the Savile story, which is again in every single newspaper and makes very unpleasant reading…

David Aaronovitch: Yes the Sunday Telegraph has as its lead which not all newspaper do but all… They do run the independence… I… to me the issue is not what whether a news night did or didn’t do… but as you’re saying Clare is what that 40 years of procedures to all others institutions including the BBC who owed a duty of care… it feels a bit like a version of the Catholic Church, people turning what was going on and if…

Andrew Marr: On what was going on, what was going on… I mean it was probably after Esther Rantzen and Childline, the national mood and as David has written, started to change over dramatically…

Clare Balding: And he was so brazen and he was hiding behind this, you know, great entertainer but also the great charity fund-raiser and not totally dissimilar, although Lance Armstrong has not publicly been accused of any sort of sexual shenanigans but not totally dissimilar in terms of the fallen idol, to Lance Armstrong

Andrew Marr: The great cyclist who’s been, who’s been found doping…

Clare Balding: Throughout his career... two massive pieces… I mean… the Sunday Times has been consistent on Lance Armstrong, David Walsh has been absolutely superb over the years on stories and, and event… you know, I mean people were frightened of Lance Armstrong. He was very intimidating, he threatened all the time to take out injunctions, to sue people. Jimmy Saville did the same thing, he was very physically intimidating, people were scared of him, and, you know, these are two people who were almost so, they were so, they were so toughing it out so much, they would almost hint as if they might be guilty, they say I’m untouchable

David Aaronovitch: It comes to a strange state of knowing and unknowing doesn’t it? I mean there’s a large number of people somewhere who know that something is going on as with Lance Armstrong, and that they therefore know that what they’re saying about this character publicly is undermined by about what they know about him privately, but the rest of the people who don’t know absolutely about it, who haven’t got any info, have to buy the willingness or the charity raising, this guy at face value and have to have this guys a complete hero, I mean it’s a bizarre situation.

Clare Balding: And it is actually terrifying because it also says awful a lot about the nature of celebrity and when you get that well known that you become slightly untouchable and that’s really unhealthy as well

David Aaronovitch: And you’ve made a point of brazennessbrazenness is everything, if you're not brazen about it, if you show self-doubt about it then you don’t get away with it, but if you are truly brazen, people aren’t ready for the brazen person.

Andrew Marr: If you are to tell a lie, tell a big lie, it always used to be said…


Post Scriptum (by our reader abbas):

The Tapas wasn’t part of the MW deal of that we can be sure
If it was, it would have been mentioned in the 07 brochure
PR people in droves changing statements to cause confusion after early May
But read the OC reviews before this, its enlightening in what they say

A Thorn in the McCanns hide is what you are
Exposing the farce for the lies they really are
They say you know nothing, you do not have a clue
And many of the posters know a lot more than you do

But if your blog is drivel and your posts do not make sense
Why do the Black Hats spend so much time on gratuitous offence

Your readers, not followers, can debate and use their brain
We do not need the rabid ramblings of idiots like Insane
So are you, Textusa, a thorn in the McCanns hides
Or are the McCanns a thorn inflicting pain on many peoples lives

We know the farce, it has gone on far too long
But I leave you with the words of another Eurythmics song

When Tomorrow Comes






Underneath your dreamlit eyes, shades of sleep have driven you away
The moon is pale outside and you are far from here
Breathing shifts your careless head, untroubled by the chaos of our lives
Another day, another night has taken you again my dear
And you know that I'm gonna be the one who'll be there
When you need someone to depend upon when tomorrow comes
(Wait until tomorrow comes) When tomorrow comes
(Wait until tomorrow comes) When tomorrow comes
(Wait until tomorrow comes) When tomorrow comes
(Wait until tomorrow comes)
Last night while you were lying in my arms and I was wondering where you were
And you know, you looked just like a baby, fast asleep in this dangerous world
Every star was shining brightly, just like a million years before
And we were feeling very small, underneath the universe
And you know that I'm gonna be the one who'll be there
When you need someone to depend upon when tomorrow comes
(Wait until tomorrow comes) When tomorrow comes
(Wait until tomorrow comes) When tomorrow comes
(Wait until tomorrow comes) When tomorrow comes
(Wait until tomorrow comes)

 

And you know that I am gonna be the one who'll be there
When you need someone to depend upon when tomorrow comes
(Wait until tomorrow comes) When tomorrow comes
(Wait until tomorrow comes) When tomorrow comes
(Wait until tomorrow comes) I can't wait, can't wait, can't wait, when tomorrow comes
(Wait until tomorrow comes) I can't wait 'til tomorrow comes baby
When tomorrow comes (I wanna be with you, when tomorrow comes)
(I wanna be with you, when tomorrow comes)
(I wanna be with you)

  1. Sorry to be pessimistic but the "large number of people somewhere who know that something is going on" about Maddie are only the most powerful institutions in Britain. Just to name 3: BBC, Scotland Yard and the UK Government. None can go back on their word so they'll continue with the charade regardless of knowing that what they’re saying about this matter publicly is undermined by about what they know about it privately. I don't think I ever saw something like this ever in my life. With Savile I now see that people pretended not to see but I don't remember anyone openly defending him and anyone helping him persecute others.

  2. "Arguidos da Casa Pia derrotados
    O Tribunal Constitucional rejeitou o pedido de aclaração do médico Ferreira Diniz, no âmbito do processo de pedofilia da Casa Pia, por entender que não há nada a esclarecer em relação ao acórdão que indeferiu os recursos dos arguidos."
     
    "Com esta decisão, o médico, Carlos Cruz, Jorge Ritto e Manuel Abrantes deverão regressar à cadeia, para cumprir as respetivas penas, ainda este mês. Estão esgotadas todas as hipóteses de recurso, mas, segundo fontes contactadas pelo CM, o médico ainda pode invocar uma nulidade. Tal expediente, porém, terá apenas como consequência atrasar, em cerca de dez dias, o trânsito em julgado das condenações, ou seja, o encerramento do processo. Recorde-se que Carlos Cruz (seis anos), Ferreira Diniz (sete anos), Jorge Ritto (seis anos e oito meses) e Manuel Abrantes (cinco anos e nove meses) foram condenados por abusos sexuais." in CM

  9. Ah, ah, Madeleine in Cyprus. Another rubbish.
    With some lucky "Curiosity" will spot her in Mars and send immediately the image to NASA.

    Wonder why after 6 years, THE WORLD HAVE NEVER BE INFORMED OF A SIGHT IN UK.

    The stupid abductor took the girl everywhere, in all environments where she quickly and easily could be spotted as an outsider, instead of taking her to her home country where she could easily pass unnoticed due to her skin colour and her english language.

  10. Abbass,

    No policeman agrees with you

    No court agrees with you

    No evidence to support your claim

    Plenty of evidence to blow it out of the water.

    A blind refusal to see the truth is a sign of mental illness. Get yourself checked out. Take Textusa with you, she's got form and knows the ropes.

  12. Textusa yours is a really good site and I have been following it since the beginning when Ironside would write comment. Over the years I have noticed how the Mccanns change their stories via the media and also Kates book there are far too many inconsistancies in all their statements but why these people the tapas group lied for the Mccanns is questionable which makes me feel that perhaps 'swinging' did occur otherwise why would they lie. The round table.... did they really expect us to believe that a huge round table for all those guests actually existed, besides a pool in the darkness, out of season. Far too many lies but thank you Textusa because you are standing strong and when this finally comes to court as it will, you will be credited amongst those that stood up and believed in the truth.

  17. Bom dia!

    Mais uma vez acerca dos "oportunos avistamentos". Na minha opinião continuam a ser, hoje, duas as razões:

    - está para sair alguma notícia que não lhes agrada , aos McsCompanhia

    - o facto de o recurso do Rui Pedro ser hoje, dia do infeliz aniversário do seu real desaparecimento e, cuja 1ª investigação primou por não investigar o testemunho de uma senhora, por puro preconceito ou preguiça. Também penso, que um dos " investigadores" preferiu ocupar tempo com a Mãe, já que, quase sempre foi muito bonita. Ainda é.

    Teve uma fase horrível..... e, aparecia anoréctica.

  18. A cada cinco horas desaparece uma criança

    Crise pode levar ao aumento do tráfico de menores. Máfias ganham 12 mil milhões de dólares por ano

    Publicado às 00.15 JN

    *ALEXANDRE *PANDA*

    São cerca de dois mil, em média, as crianças e adolescentes que desaparecem todos os anos em Portugal. Ou seja, a cada cinco horas, as autoridades recebem uma queixa. Esta segunda-feira, faz 15 anos que ninguém sabe de Rui Pedro.
    A maioria dos casos de desaparecimento são fugas em que os menores são encontrados, mas há também aqueles que nunca são localizados, como foi o caso do Rui Pedro, de Lousada. Esta-segunda-feira, o Tribunal da Relação do Porto comunica a decisão sobre o recurso interposto pela família e pelo Ministério Público.

  19. Será que uma das notícias de hoje (relacionada com os presos do M3 e do MAC DAM) tem a ver com a Ilha do Resort onde se fala turco ou grego?

    Começa hoje no Tribunal de Faro o julgamento de Leonor Cipriano. A mulher é arguida por ter alegadamente prestado falsas declarações, quando se queixou de ter sido agredida por elementos da Polícia Judiciária.

    Os inspetores foram já absolvidos e o tribunal concluiu então que Leonor Cipriano tinha mentido.
    O julgamento tem início esta tarde, às 14h00, no primeiro juízo criminal do Tribunal de Faro.

    googlês:

    Court begins today Leonor Cipriano in the trial of Faro.

    The woman is accused for having allegedly made ​​false statements when he complained of having been assaulted by members of the Judicial Police.

    The inspectors have been acquitted and the court then concluded that Leonor Cipriano had lied.

    The trial starts this afternoon at 14h00, in the first criminal trial of the Court of Faro.

  20. !5 years to the day, Afonso Dias has been sentenced to 3 and half years in prison by the Porto's Appeal Court, for the kidnap of Rui Pedro.

    His lawyers have already informed that they will appeal to the Supreme Justice Court.

    As a blogger I will abide by my words and say that the sentence was handed out by a rightful entity within the Portuguese Judicial System and so express my satisfaction of this outcome.

    As a citizen, not wanting to in any way contest the decision, I would like to express my sincere disgust for this decision. It reflects the mockery that the Portuguese Judicial System has become. Not only it has taken FIFTEEN years to come to a decision as THREE and HALF YEARS in prison for kidnapping a child, one yet to returned, is nothing less of shocking.

    In Portugal if you rob an ATM machine you may be sentenced to 12 years in prison.

  22. O caso Rui Pedro é o paradoxo da vergonha. Ao fim de 15 anos, 3 anos e meio de prisão efectiva para o principal suspeito (só) e sobre o paradeiro do Rui Pedro, NADA. Também não deixa de ser interessante a magistral coincidência do condenado estar fora de Portugal no dia em que recebe a sentença.
    Se não esteve sózinho nos acontecimentos de há 15 anos, agora ao bom estilo Vale de Azevedo, vai ficar emigrado por uns tempos com a ajuda daqueles que há 15 anos estiveram com ele e não estão nada interessados em que a verdade se saiba.
    Infelizmente não acredito que o Rui Pedro esteja vivo. O mundo tornou-se pequeno demais para que alguém consiga esconder um rapaz por tantos anos, vivo e contrariado. A revolta, a curiosidade e o desejo de ver a familia biológica, move todos os vendavais e fá-lo-ía procurar os pais e a irmã, mesmo que depois partisse de novo, revoltado, magoado ou simplesmente desadaptado. As vitimas de rapto nutrem sempre sentimentos de revolta contra a familia, as policias e os estados, porque por maior que tenha sido o empenho em procurá-las, acham sempre que nào foi o suficiente.
    Vergonhosa foi também, a tentativa dos Mccann de se colarem a este caso . Tentaram transferir para eles o sofrimento que o publico sempre viu no rosto de Filomena Teixeira. Ao contrário de Kate, Filomena foi por largos anos um cadaver vivo, dependente de médicos e hospitais. Sem Fundos ou entrevistas vendidas ao minuto para lhe garantirem tratamentos ou tratadores de imagem a treiná-la para parecer nas camaras o que não era, sobreviveu e foi sempre uma mãe bonita e cheia de classe. Assumiu num programa de TV que perdeu muito dinheiro na procura do filho e que o seu pai não parou um dia de procurar o neto, e morreu com o desgosto de nunca o ter encontrado ou sabido o que lhe aconteceu.
    A dor das familias como a do Rui Pedro é infinita porque há um luto que nunca acaba, que nunca está feito. Não há cinzas nem lápides e todas as flores são demais por não terem um lugar onde possam ser colocadas a homenagear a memória de quem partiu. Por isso, 3 anos e meio são ridiculos e não os considero qualquer justiça. São muito pouco e chegam muito tarde. Espero no entanto, que sirvam para quem sabe a verdade, abrir a boca e começar a relatar os factos que faltam preencher nas lacunas desta história de modo a descobrir-se o paradeiro do Rui Pedro.

    They'd be your partner, and

  30. ""Este foi um momento importante na sua vida e seria de esperar, até pelas vezes que já lhe foram colocadas perguntas, que o tivesse bem guardado na memória", argumentou o MP, concluindo que Leonor "insiste na mentira" e deve ser condenada a pena de prisão."
    em CM, a propósito das mentiras de Leonor Cipriano na tentativa de incriminar GA e os colegas num crime de tortura.

    Desde Maio de 2007 que um grupinho bem acessorado vem debitando contradições a PJ para terem a certeza de que ao distribuir mentiras estarão reinando. Nesta campanha têm estado empenhados a 100%, portanto é legitimo pensarmos que o objectivo principal do grupo é que Maddie não seja encontrada e assim, só uma grande janela de oportunidade permitirá que alguém encontre o corpo.

    Sinais dos tempos: Marinho Pinto não se constituiu observador neste julgamento. A " pobre" Leonor já não merece o empenho de tão ilustre figurão. De estrela de campanha passou a carvão em brasa, um negócio que queima...
    Já lá diz o ditado " quem se lixa é sempre o mexilhão". Se o advogado da mexilhão for perspicaz, deverá aconselhá-la a contar todo o esquema que trouxe MAC até si. MAC já assumiu nas camaras de TV que o objectivo de toda a campanha era perseguir GA. Alguém encomendou e lhe pagou o serviço.

    We only bring from other sites into our blog things we deem of interest to prove our point.

    For example, one of the two posters you mention is so clearly black hatted that any notice given to that person would be giving him/her bandwidth in our blog that the person doesn't deserve.

Leonor, as a poor woman, was left with a court-appointed (defence) counsel. I guess now that she has served the McCanns' purpose and other people interests, she can be discarded!"
