'The Times Criminal Investigations Editor, Dominic Kennedy was ejected from the BNP premises for expressing ideas considered too right-wing and extreme.'
Readers will of course remember that the former Madeleine investigator, wrote imaginatively of the link between Paedophiles and Muslim Terrorists for Murdoch's Times newspaper in 2008.

Couple of things that concern me this fine and frosty morning, and I’ll present
them in a typically rambling order.
- Last week's stream of emails from a Christian Fundamentalist - allegedly
based in Malta (and judging by the IP that was logged, not lying either, unless
the header was blagged). Started off pleasant enough, but things slowly deteriorated
when I proposed the idea that many of the alleged sightings in Malta of Arabs
bundling small children into taxis were perhaps more the result of bigotry
and racism than reliable witness accounts (they had already described Islam
as the work of ther 'devil' and then proceeded to accuse me of being possessed
by the devil also: "now i see a completely ...
Look who has been doing the whistle blowing on poor old Mr Halligen - the Irish-born Private Investigator hired by the McCanns? Dr. Richard Parton, CEO of PsyTel and advisor to Washington's Private Intelligence forum, the Intelligence Summit, an event that takes place annually in Virginia - home of Mr Halligen (or Halligan with an “a”, according to his birth certificate).
Other regular speakers at the Intelligence Summit include Michael Shrimpton (specialist in Strategic Intelligence and Counte ...
"No, DNA matches for Murat and Tanner were NOT found. Matching hair haplotypes were found which is completely different!!!!"
Or so goes the typical lame reproof perfected on blogs such as Joana Morais Blogspot. So let's take it up.
The statement was in response to hair samples found at the Solimar Apartments in Burgau. Results showed that the samples matched the haplotypes of Jane Tanner and Robert Murat. ...
ITV man Keir Simmons reports that Robert Murat is to sue Jane Tanner with criminal liability? For what exactly? For keeping his name out of all her witness statements? For saying 'yes, maybe' when Amaral and his men paraded Murat in front of a Police surveilance van and said, 'could this be the man you saw'?
Out of all the people who say they saw Murat in around the Ocean Club, Tanner seems to be the only one who stopped short of actually naming him. In response to the question, 'having seen Murat ... could you link the two of those (Murat and man seen carrying a child)? ' To w ...
I was quite surprised to find that it was a good friend of England's Poet Laureate, Ted Hughes who gave bible readings to Robert Murat as elder of the Exeter Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses in Exeter, especially given Hughes' view of religion as a largely destructive force.
Born in Cornwall, Ian Cook (60) (and his wife Elizabeth Cook) trade in Fine Arts and Publishing at a Gallery in Exeter. I would have put them down as a bohemian couple.
A keen Salmon fisher like Hughes, Cook met the poet when he gave a lecture in Exeter ...
"The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."

"Hate propaganda is an attack on the truth-seeking process itself. It is directed to subverting and undermining the search for truth."
David Matas, Bloody Speech
Paulo Reis is banging on about BNP/Neocon icon Winston Churchill again. And as usual, in the smug and quietly sanctimonious twilight in which he and his team of desperate intellectuals hone the ...
Over the last few days I have been speculating on some striking political undercurrents going on both sides of the fence. First there was the name of Jose Borba Martins cropping up in links to Rita Dywer - the Irish woman known to Murat and Walczuch during Michaela's days at 'Century 21'. Martins is a fierce (and charismatic) advocate of an an independent Algarve - the Algarve as a separate and completely devolved state - totally autonomous of centralist government. To Rita Dwyer, who at her time at Dublin University would have been exposed to both sides of the argument, I don't doubt the two would have a lot in common. And on the other side we have JK Rowling. Hugely sucessful writer whose greatest inspiration was a woman who had sacrificed her youth (and her inheri ...
The first name that appears on list of signatures in support of Goncalo Amaral's
Petition
addressed to the Court of Human Rights belongs to a woman whose department
coordinated staff at the Casa Pia Orphange in Lisbon - the school that was at
the centre of a Child Abuse Scandal last decade.
Paulo Reis and Joana Morais also appear in the first 20 of the 1500+ signatures.
Goncalo Amaral was of course the Portuguese Detective responsible for the first
phase of the case and making Robert Murat and Gerry and Kate McCann arguidos.

Would appreciate more info on the second apartment the McCanns rented in Praia da Luz (the Rua das Flores) as the Dutch owner appears to have links to the 'Museu de Arte Antiga' in Lisbon. I'm wondering if this museum fosters any links to Graca Morais or any of her extended circle . Graca is the mother of Joana Morais and one of Portugal's most respected artists. (Graca has also canvassed for Socialist Prime Minister, Jose Socrates). The curiosity is not totally unfounded (not totally, so bear with me) given there was an arts centre in the region named after Joana's mother and there may be someone within her arts circle who may be able to throw some light on a couple of things - even if its just to explain her daugh ...
Well let's be honest, we all really knew it deep down. We knew something wasn't right about The Three Arguidos, but several months ago we had it confirmed: The Three Arguidos forum was being managed, packaged and hosted by a group of Porn enthusiasts more intent on blowing each other than they were in blowing the lid on the case. Former Three Arguidos adminstrator Beowulf, and definetly the host with the most on this occasion, had been registering porn domains with more energy and vigour than a virgin in a brothel. Not that he was likely to just pop his cork for any site in town though. He'd obviously reserved his best for last. We had doubted the whole thing of course, especially as the truth had emerg ...
I have to admit that I'm more than a little sceptical of 'Reis and Associates' (that's 3A members like Beowulf etc) and their detailed reimagining of - Relatorio de Análise, Lisbon, dated 9th November 2007 - allegedly compiled by Inspector Paulo Dias of the Departamento Central de Informação Criminal e Polícia Técnica (DCICPT) in Lisbon.
Is it for real? Who knows.
Like Duarte's 'explosive 24 pictures' before it, Reis's story has 14 'explosive' text messages. Of course, it's either an indication that both writers are no stranger to explosives handling, or an indication of just how desperate they real ...
Yesterday I was looking at the venues and figures that make up the Lagos community
and was extending our knowledge of Rita Dwyer, the Irish woman Murat says he
met a fashion event and worked with Michaela Walczuch, his then girlfriend.
File followers may recall that it was jockey,
Martin Dwyer who organised for jockeys to wear arm-bands during the June
2007 Epsom Derby. Dwyers (an Everton fan who was born in Merseyside) explained
to reporters:
"we owe it to this little girl to make whatever stand we can - not just
for her, ...
Just been trying to flesh out some background on some of the names that appear in the Police Files published in 2008. It's just one way of dispelling some of the rumours and anchoring the incident in the real life affairs of day-to-day Praia da Luz.
First up is John Geraghty - the millionaire business man and resident of Praia da Luz who got the keys to the church on behalf of the McCanns and also stored their Renault Scenic in his garage, whilst the couple returned to England.
Given that he was in the construction business, it's possible, but by no means certain, that he had property interests in the area. There is, however, nothing to link him to either other prominent businessmen and impresarios like Carlos Costa, the Symingtons or the Garveighs. ...
Like most other people unwilling to suspend belief when acknowledging what's going on in the day’s news, the timing of the Evening For Madeleine 1000 Days On event organised by serial news evangelist, Emma Loach wasn't lost on me, coming as it did after a gruelling (and self-defeating) media battle with Gonaclo Amaral over his imaginative retelling of the Madeleine investigation which left them - and no shortage of unflattering evidence - exposed on an almost hourly basis for the best part of a week. Clarence Mitchell has warned them that the couple’s court appearance might lead to a media circus and awkward revelations about the case, but in all fairness it appears his cautionary approach lacked a little conviction, so it was satisfying to see Mitchell respon ...
Let us consider whether it is possible (as we have said before) that Robert Murat was deliberately singled out as a convenient scapegoat.
A few days ago, I drew your attention to a problem regarding Lyndon Pollard - a former school friend and neighbour of the young Robert Murat. Pollard was mentioned in a formal police statement provided by Carlos Manuel Matos Costa in which Costa recounted a story told to him by Pollard concerning some alleged sexual deviances. In his formal statement Costa insists that it was the son of Pat and Patricia Pollard - a British couple who had moved to the Algar ...
