It wasn't a debate about the Maddie case.

the loose women debate was about osbournes comments on the Maddie case and whether they were ok and whether they were right. that topic includes whether its safe to leae 3 young kids alone abroad in a hotel room, the fact the door was open is why the child was abducted its the most crucial part of the discussion. leaving kids alone is bad enough, leaving them alone with open doors is way worse. they can wander or be abducted. it is 100% part of the same discussion

There are a million and one details relevant to the Maddie case.

This was not a Maddie debate, you can't expect them to point out everything, that was not the point.

the open door is the most crucial part, they discussed Maddie may have wandered to the pool, but didn't mention the fact the mccanns claimed the door was open. why leave it open?

Obviously the open door is crucial to the McCann case but I agree with Marsh that that isn't really what the Loose women were discussing. The discussion was about Sharon Osbourne and whether she should have said what she did and leaving your kids alone in general

*I do agree with you regarding the McCann case though

No one is allowed to pass comment on anything unless they have both a squeaky clean past and an extensive list of professional qualifications on the subject being discussed. Come on Niamh, you've been here more than long enough to understand these fundamental debating basics!

Oh TS, it's SO much more simple than that. If you're going to feel free to pass comment on other people you've got to be prepared for people to rake up your own past. Or are people not allowed an opinion on Sharon? I don't agree with her comments but she has a right to them... as do people who remember her own shady, alcohol and drug-fuelled past.

The McCannes call anyone a troll if they do not side with them,they are allowed opinions but we are not,I agree with Sharon and we should be allowed to say so without the McCann bandwagon getting on their high horses.

Hopefully this promo for the find maddy campaign will earn them some much needed money to fund the ongoing search?

Ha,ha,nice one,they don't seem to have the support they once had.

Where is Chuff?

[the truth]

the mccanns should use the funds raised to investigate themselves

[Livia]

Wasn't the "McCann Bandwagon" put together to keep Maddie's profile high in the media? I think it's worked pretty well considering how long ago she disappeared. I feel that if the McCann's were guilty of their daughter's death they'd have let it all die down instead of working to keep her name alive... especially in the light of all this supposed evidence people seem to believe. But I've said that before in one of the other anti-McCann threads. They were wrong to leave their child, totally wrong. But I can't join in this metaphorical slaughtering every time their name comes up.

The many other missing kids who aren't getting all this money and media attention to fund their searches?

The McCanns have probably done more than anyone else in the UK over the last decade for missing children.

Well done to Kate

[Marsh.]

I can't remember, was the door left open or was it locked?

Hello Livia,people will comment on it as it's a weird case,a lot of things don't add up,but I guess that's another thread,Sharon Osbourn is entitalled to her opinion as are we all ,what annoys me about the McCanns and their supporters is they call people with differing opinions trolls, plenty in the McCann camp have said vile things as much as people who believe they had a hand in their daughters death, they have said they will sue anyone selling The Truth of the Lies book ,why would they do that ? we should be a liberty to read it and make our own minds up,there is news today that even the priest that comforted them is now feeling uneasy,so who knows ? so many things that are just strange,you can't blame people for being interested and anyone should be able to say what they did was wrong without being lambasted for doing so.I'm not meaning you,just people like Sharon Osbourne.
