If people refused to buy these rags there would be no "McCann type" stories.

Remember what happened after Hillsborough in 1989?

The McCanns are back on the news. They are driving to their solicitors. You can see a photo of Kate McCann here plus full analysis of the trip. A brief bio of their QC can be found here. Please donate generously, the McCanns might lose their house: link.
Their arrival at the Kingsley Napley will be covered live on Sky News, VM viewers will see FA...

In one city with an unparallelled ability to hold a grudge. A mass boycott of the Press would be impossibly difficult to orchestrate in almost any other circumstances.

Unfortunately!

The McCanns are close to signing Phil Hall, the former NoTW editor, as their PR guru. He is the PR guy of Lady Mucka, Heather Mills. He is the guy, that in his zenith, filmed Newcastle's Chairman Freddy Shepherd in a Spanish bordelo, what a top piece of journalism that was. He also taped Dallaglio, claiming to be a drug dealer...

He was on R4 this morning making very sympathetic noises about the way the McCanns are being scrutinized by the Press. Given his track record I reckon he'll do well for them.

This thread is getting as bad as a 24-hour rolling news channel!

Why dont they use cheaper lawyers and not hire a PR guy.

But surely if the evidence is a bad as Team McCann says it is, if the police work has been as shoddy as as is clained, if the portuguese police are clutching at straws, then even Ronald McDonalad should be able to get them off.

Exactly.

Their Portuguese lawyer is top notch and nowhere near as expensive as Caplan (He acted for dictator Augusto Pinochet). There is NO need for British lawyer.

They need to shut the hell up and get on with it.

Did the Robert Murat have a PR guy?

If I felt I was in danger of an unsafe conviction and imprisonment in a foreign country, I don't think I'd take the chance.

Would you risk your freedom and reputation on that premise? I wouldn't.

Oops, beaten to it by Chris..............

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 
Assuming they go to trial in Portugal (and the Portuguese want to send them down even if they are innocent), I am then assuming the jury would be Portuguese. Are they planning a PR campaign in Portugal. If not then its irrelevant what people in the UK think as they will not be on the jury.

Or are the lawyers and PR there for them not to be extradited, if they are charged and asked to stand trial.
