Kate and Gerry McCann to receive an apology

[lemonstartree]

From the express group - about the false and 'grossly defamatory' reports published after Madeleine went missing.

Good. IMHO. Good

about time

hate express

Should hope so. It was like a hate campaign.

About fricking time.

The Express get away with far too much IMO.

Great.

I stopped reading/buying anything which I know is published by Richard Desmond as a one woman protest over their reportage

This news will not tempt me back

Don't buy/read OK or the Express, hit them where it hurts (tossers)

I am pleased at this belated, but much needed, act of kindness towards Kate and Gerry. It is going to be awful for them in the build up to May 3rd this year, although still hoping for some good news.

about blardy time too, and hopefully this will serve to give the some of the people on here who were just as guilty of this poisonous speculation pause for thought!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think you're "allowed" to start new threads that relate in any way to the McCanns. People will start throwing toys out of the collective Mumsnet pram...

Why has the express changed its tune, then?

there is aa article in grazia by the mother of the girl killed in goa, asking why its always the mothers fault...

about time It really annoys me that tabloids get way with giving their opinions and supposdley intelligent people quoting it as fact. Grazia is a scummy mag too

~Littlelapin, Wanderering trolley is looking for you in chat

grazia is pretty dull, ill give you that. i was suckered into a subscription by the lure of freebies [mug].

Good news. Don't like The Express. This its as bad as The DM. And why is OK magazine so obsessed with Kerry Katona (as an aside)?

Bubble, because the Mcann's lawyers have jumped on them.

It still helped them sell more papers though. I hope they will also be making a sizable donation to a missing children's charity.

Oh yeah, sorry we caused you the worst kind of distress and as good as accused you of murdering your child.

It will sell papers that one.

There is apparently a "substantial" payment to be made to the Find Madeleine Fund.

GOOD!

Now maybe the Portuguese authorities should step up to the plate and give their apologies!

Good. I despise trial by media. Guilt or innocence is for the law to decide.

GOOD

Ditto. And I think saying the Express is as bad as the DM is an insult to the DM, tbh!

GOOD

bastards

Mail Watch - slight OT but I can't believe that they have run massive front-page stories on the police chief's suicide and his 'mistress' - not happy with the current body-count, obviously. Much sympathy to his family, they must be suffering so much. Wicked.
