I Can See You're Naval

Does that make you an orange, or is it your belly button I'm looking at? Hello Sailors, a little gallery that followed its own direction and ended up in a naval/truth/trust theme.

Visitors from afar might wish to read a bit of this in order to have a better understanding of what's below. The Lutine Wiki, the Lutine Bell. - Lloyds and the Lutine Bell

Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn't

It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.-Mencken

Monkey Business

Originally intended to be a book gallery in response to the forthcoming McGrim's fairy tales, until that was, the first ape showing up and hi-jacking the theme.

And what picture gallery featuring the religion of peace would be complete without the infamous rage boy?

The Pearls of Gerry McCann

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We want a big event to raise awareness that she is still missing, It wouldn’t be a one-year anniversary, it will be sooner than that (June 3, 2007)

I have no doubt we will be able to sustain a high profile for Madeleines disappearance in the long term.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have been advised our behaviour was legally well within the bounds of responsible parenting and have been assured no action will be taken.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

One good thing to come out of all of this is that there is so much in the press, nobody knows what is true, and what isn't.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kate and I have to concentrate on our own well being.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

we are hoping for the best possible outcome for us.... and Madeleine.

~~~~~~~~~~~

If the worst happened...at least she will be in a better place.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It could have been worse, we could have lost the twins too. There were three children in the room. That's the worst nightmare.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

There's been a disaster! It's a disaster!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is very encouraging that Mr. Rebelo's officers will be seemingly reviewing all the material in the inquiry, which will hopefully identify areas for further investigation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have done nothing against the law.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

After 5 or 6 weeks things went very quiet and I was actually quite glad of that, we could get back to a more normal existance and a quieter form of campaigning... broader political issues, etc.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kate and I are totally 100% confident in each others innocence.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know 100 per cent Kate could NOT have done anything. I know that's true from what I did that night...and in terms of what Kate knows about me, I was away from her for just ten minutes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Makes you think, why the twins did not wake up, they, he must have sedated them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The situation that Madeleine finds herself in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It seems like a disaster that we've got this huge donated fund and now we're not allowed to use it for legal costs because we're under suspicion."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are being absolutely stitched up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The iris is Madeleine's only true distinctive feature. Certainly we thought it was possible that this could potentially hurt her or the abductor might do something to her eye. But in terms of marketing, it was a good ploy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Pearls of Kate McCann

.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Madeleine was everything to us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cuddle Cat was very special to Madeleine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know the situation we were in that night,

~~~~~~~~~~~~
It cannot be considered a crime. Someone committed one, but not us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know that what happened is not due to the fact of us leaving the children asleep. I know it happened under other circumstances.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was sure immediately that she didn't walk out of that room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Whoever Madeleine's with she'll be giving them her tuppence worth.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Haven't I suffered enough without all these new lies coming out?

~~~~~~~~~~~~

At worst we were naive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We're good parents, not suspects.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was really just like being in your back garden.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We'll do everything we can to find Madeleine; she deserves that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

There's not a day that goes by that I think to myself why did I think that was okay? Was I wrong in thinking that was okay? All I can think to myself is I know how much I love my children, and I know I am a responsible parent.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wish I could roll back time and go back to the day before Madeleine was abducted. I would slow down time. I would get a really good look around and have a really good think. And I'd think: Where are you? Who are you? Who is secretly watching my family? Because someone was watching my family very, very carefully. And taking notes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is my job now. I can see this becoming my full-time career, with this whole issue of child welfare and opposing paedophiles.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think that is a very small minority of people that are criticising us.

The Pearls of Clarence Mitchell

..
Mr Mitchell hit back: "It's a great shame that people seem more interested in making money out of Madeleine's disappearance instead of helping the search for her."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kate and Gerry are not accused of any crime whatsoever.
Neither is there any suggestion that any charges are being considered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"However, Kate and Gerry and their friends welcome the police interviews. The friends are more than happy to co-operate fully, as are Kate and Gerry, although in this case Kate and Gerry will not be re-interviewed."

" This has not been requested but Kate and Gerry would have agreed to answer any questions had they police wished to put anything to them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"There is a wholly innocent explanation for any material the police may or may not have found".

~~~~~~~~~~~~

This appears to be another disgusting attempt to make money out of their plight."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"An outcome similar to Holly and Jessica is possible. I don't want to, and I can't, talk about Robert Murat but some journalists who worked with me in Soham, and that were now in Portugal, saw resemblances between that case and Robert Murat. And I won't say more."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

They don't cry in public, but plenty of tears are shed 'backstage'.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is not only extremely hurtful to Kate and Gerry but totally disrespectful to Madeleine.

The magazine had not sought permission to use Madeleine’s image and the McCanns’ lawyers were now studying the publication.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kate and Gerry are realistic enough to know that Madeleine may be dead and it would be a tragedy that she is found as such, because it rules out the hope that she is alive... But any widening of the search area is encouraging and we would welcome that. If she is dead then she is dead, but not by their hand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

No decision has been taken on Kate's future yet. She hasn't approached, or been approached by, any children's charities.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is true that we have requested a meeting with the prime minister to show him the strength of our case, to explain Kate and Gerry's innocence and yet all we've been offered is a medium-level-consular meeting, which we rejected.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
