Easter Bennetts

Evening all.

Well, Baldy's long wait by the letterbox has come to an end - news has arrived courtesy of his 2,756th FOI request, seeking the answers to crucial questions such as "How much does Operation Grange spend on biscuits per month? Please give the answer in pounds, shillings and pence"

I am going to post extracts from the thread currently running on CMOMM about this, but I'll be leaving out a lot of the dross, which is to say, most of what Bennett wrote. Usual rules apply. 

I have received these replies (see below) from the Home Office and the Metropolitan Police Information Rights Units.

I make these observations.

Of course you do

I have asked in the past, and asked again on 3 March, about how much has been spent by Britain on financial assistance given to Portugal for the very considerable degree of help they have rendered to the Metropolitan Police. Notably, this included the hiring and staffing of a top-of-the range Mark III Alouette Portuguese military helicopter.

And I think they told you to fuck off, didn't they?

It also included providing staff to supervise and conduct a number of rogatory interviews, I believe in 2014, and to provide security and supervision for the very public searches by officers of the Metropolitan Police of two patches of ground in Praia da Luz (which IIRC yielded a couple of rabbit bones).

Some of you may recall that I asked similar questions in the past. The Met Police basically said: “Don’t ask us, we get all our money for Operation Grange from the Home Office. The Home Office said: “We hold no information about payments to the Portuguese government”.

So there you are - you had your answer

I very much doubt whether Portugal gave all their assistance free of charge.

How the fuck would you know, Baldylocks? Are disgraced former trainee solicitors usually experts on government income streams?

I am sure the British government have paid them.

So what? No-one gives a shit what you are sure about. You were sure you were stalking the right Martin Smith, as I recall......

Maybe it is from some source of government funds that we know nothing about, maybe the Foreign Office paid them , who knows?

They do. That's why they told you to fuck off

Apart from that, the Met Police are not going to break down their expenditure, they say, because they are not going to provide any further ‘granularity’. I admit that was a word I’d not come across before.

That's because you're thick.

Dealing with the replies from the Metropolitan Police, we have answers on who is in charge of Operation Grange, how many staff are engaged on it, and their ranks, and the reporting line up to Cressida Dick, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner.

What do you want - a cookie?

We are now told this about the controversial ‘Smithman’ efits, quote: “These efits were received by the Operation Grange team in September 2008 as part of a dossier of material handed to the MPS by private investigators that had been working on the case”.

You also knew that already

Most CMOMM members will be able to spot a rather obvious flaw with this answer. Namely, Operation Grange wasn’t actually set up until two years and eight months after this, in May 2011!

I think it's perfectly obvious what they meant - the investigation now known as Operation Grange

Maybe I will need to ask the date Operation Grange was set up!

Doubtless you will - fire the shredder up again, lads, we have incoming!

So I will definitely be asking a supplementary question of the Met about this. I will ask who (or which agency) handed the dossier in (that should not be a confidential matter) and to whom it was handed and on what precise date. Undoubtedly the Met Police or some other police force will hold these data.

And they will say they have already answered you. Which they have.

Further, on the subject of the e-fits, the Met Police tell us this: “The efits do not form part of any current appeal”.

Maybe other CMOMM members will be able to work out better than I can exactly what this opaque phrase means.

Yes, please do don your tinfoil hat and share your own lunatic ideas!

I take it to mean this: Either:

a We know who the efits are, we have found ‘Smithman’, or

b We haven’t found him, but are no longer looking for this man, o

c The whole ‘Smithman efit’ thing was a gigantic scam and a fraud on the pubic in the first place, but we’re obviously not going to tell you that:

Of course you do. And I bet I know which one you'll choose

Their answer to my mind raises the question as to why the 30-second Smithman recording still remains on the McCanns’ website. Have not the Met Police told the McCanns that  “The Smithman efits do not form part of any current appeal”? 

They probably have. But they have no more say on what the McCanns choose to put on their website than you have, which is to say, absolutely none.

For the purpose of brevity, I am going to leave out the FOI reply, especially as Baldy has already repeated most of it. It's in the cesspit if you want it.

At this point, a posted named ''Phoebe'' replied

Re: REPLIES from the Home Office & Met Police to FoI Act questions about Operation Grange expenditure & staffing & the Smithman efits (MARCH 2018)

 by Phoebe Today at 15:18

"The MPS will not comment on whether identifications have or have not been made however the efits do  not form part of any current appeal."


So much for Redwood's "Eureka!" moment and the subsequent paradigm shift in Grange's thinking (achieved after much expenditure of public funds)! I imagine more than one person has suggested the identity of Smithman based on the e-fits, but the Met doesn't like this suggestion. It doesn't sound like the Met. have plans to make any use of the Smith sighting. That certainly suggests that the Smiths were not part of any cover-up. I suspect Martin Smith's stubborn public reiteration of his opinion that Smithman was Gerry has scuppered any chance of using this sighting in a pro-McCann manner.

 Seems a reasonable enough comment. However, this happened:

Baldy didn't like this at all. Here is his response:

 Re: REPLIES from the Home Office & Met Police to FoI Act questions about Operation Grange expenditure & staffing & the Smithman efits (MARCH 2018)

 by Tony Bennett Yesterday at 18:17

@ Phoebe wrote:  "It doesn't sound like the Met. have plans to make any use of the Smith sighting".

REPLY:  You have so totally, utterly, missed the whole point of the Smith sighting.

Er - how about you fuck off? Your entire premise is built on a solid bed of farts, you gonad-faced old creep. There isn't a fact to be seen. In which case, anyone is at liberty to challenge the arse off you 

The Met Police already have made glorious use of the Smith sighting!

Bullshit. Seriously, Baldylocks, apart from the fact that there is not a shred of evidence to suggest that, what possible motive could the Met have to NOT solve this case? 

They did it between 9pm and 10pm on Monday 14 October, 2013.

That was the BBC Crimewatch McCann Special, which showed a reconstruction of the events of Thursday 3 May which bore very little relation to the true events of that day.   

Why - because someone was pictured in the wrong colour cardigan? 

They did it in a programme heavily trumpeted in advance as a remarkable breakthrough, Redwood's 'revelation moment'.

It was certainly a breakthrough; the only significant one since the very start 

The marketing of this programme was so successful that audience figures showed an audience of between 6.7 and 7.1 million. 

It always gets a big audience 

They did it by pretending that the Smithman sighting was a genuine sighting of a potential abductor. 

Oh fuck off, you old fool. It was a genuine sighting of a potential abductor - the police do not just discount evidence on the basis that it might not tick every box. Any sighting of a child being carried or moved in a car would have been treated the same way until proven otherwise 

They deliberately used the Smithman sighting to solve a hitherto almost unsolvable problem: how to explain the multiple changes in the descriptions and identities given of a suspect abductor by Jane Tanner. First, he was swarthy, 'bundleman'.

No they didn't - not least because they removed him from the equation, you dozy pillock 

Next he was Robert Murat.

No he wasn't 

Next he wasn't Murat.

He never was 

Next he was 'Monsterman'/'George Harrison man'.

That never came from the police 

And so on.
Redwood claimed to have produced a man who for six whole years had withheld the fact that he might be Tannerman.

No he did not, you lying fucker. As you well know, it emerged that the man had been interviewed or had completed a questionnaire at the time and for whatever reason no-one either made the connection or the information was not conveyed to the Portuguese. AT NO POINT was there any suggestion that the man had withheld anything

Conveniently he had allegedly kept the very pyjamas his daughter had worn on the evening of Thursday 3 May.

That was never alleged either. A pair were shown which actually looked rather threadbare 

And of course, yes, his clothes exactly matched those of Tannerman and Sagresman (Krokowski). Who on CMOMM believes that this man really exists.

He was pictured in ''the type of clothes he would have been wearing"
Your claims about ''Sagresman" are utter fiction and the description was completely different in several key aspects, ie, all of them 

No, Phoebe, the Met Police made massive use of the Smithman efits. They used those efits to give Operation Grange a window of 50 minutes for the abduction to take place.

Did they bollocks, you patronising crapweasel 

Previously, they only had 5 minutes. Gerry McCann says he saw Madeleine alive at 9.10pm, while Jane Tanner swore repeatedly that she'd seen an abductor carrying Madeleine away at 9.15pm (although it seems she was too 'embarrassed' to tell Kate about it in case it made her upset).

Jane Tanner did not swear repeatedly that she had seen an abductor, or that she had seen Madeleine being carried away, or the precise time, or that she was too 'embarrassed' to tell Kate. Otherwise, spot on 

Redwood expanded the window for an abduction from 9.10pm to 10.00pm. This gives Operation Grange the opportunity - as I believe they have already trailed in the media several times - to invent an abductor who maybe murdered Madeleine between 9.10pm and 10.00pm.

And why would they want to do that? 

However unlikely that may seem, if the BBC and the Met say this is what happened, most of the country will believe it.

More than would believe your Fuckipedia, sunshine. 

If you doubt me, look at how the nation, and Kerry Needham herself, have swallowed hook, line and sinker the story put forward by South Yorkshire Police that a digger-driver, now dead, crushed Ben Needham.

You are a completely disgusting man. The family are satisfied that the scenario is likely to be accurate and you are not privvy to all the information they have been able to share with Kerry. Again, what possible reason would they have to be anything other than candid with her? 

The Smithman sighting has caused confusion right from the start.

No it hasn't 

Martin Smith's call to the police on the day after Robert Murat was made a suspect caused confusion.

No it didn't 

It led Goncalo Amaral and his team to think that Smithman might be the abductor.

Naturally 

After all, in 17 material respects, his description of him exactly matched those of both Tannerman and Sagresman.

They weren't in the slightest bit interested in 'Sagresman' being either man sighted - you invented all that bollocks, you need to remind yourself of that occasionally 

Then on 20 September 2007 he caused further confusion by saying he thought the man he saw was 60%-80% likely to be Gerry McCann,

That is total bullshit and how DARE you accuse a witness of 'causing confusion'? 

Then in December 2007, he caused further confusion by 'switching sides' as it were, and agreeing to work for Metodo 3, Brian Kennedy, Kevin Halligen, Henri Exton and the McCanns.

Another lie, and quite possibly libelous too. I might pop it over to Mr Smith, see what he thinks. It would certainly be considered contempt of court and possibly even attempted witness tampering to make those kind of statements about a witness in an open investigation

He co-operated, so we are told, in producing two e-fits, maybe with one or other members of his family - although there is no record of who actually helped to draw up the efits.

It has been confirmed, to YOU, in an FOI response that two members of the family assisted in making those images, so not only do you know what you wrote above to be a lie, you know that there definitely IS a record, which wasn't shared with you. Lying twat. 

He caused further confusion when he allowed his sighting to be used in the May 2009 documentary to suggest that Tannerman and Smithman were one and the same - an idea now rejected by Operation Grange.

Another whopper - he did not ''allow'' anything, that film was made by the McCann's people 

The same confusion continued in Kate McCann's book, where she said the same: Tannerman = Smithman.

Then that's her problem, not Mr Smith's 

Then Martin Smith spoke to DCI Redwood once in 2012 and again in 2013 to help him with his media spectacular on 14 October 2013, sowing further confusion.

Further confusion for who? He spoke to the police, as I expect most of the witnesses did. Just because it doesn't fit with your alternative narrative is no reason to describe it as such 

Now even further confusion has been caused by Gemma O'Doherty's most unlikely claim that Martin Smith 'still stands by' his claim that he is 60% - 80% sure he saw Gerry McCann eleven years ago.

Really? So you are accusing her of lying too, are you? Careful, Tony, she can sue you too 

That's despite him and his family explicitly asking the public to look for the abductor and expressing great sympathy for the McCanns.

Bullshit - newspaper reports from papers he said he never spoke to. You know this, it has been pointed out to you before, you looning clown. 

One day, perhaps @ Phoebe, your eyes will be opened and you will see all this.

Oh, I think Phoebe sees it all very clearly, and may also have noticed that you are a bullying, overbearing shitgibbon 

@ Phoebe also wrote: "That certainly suggests that the Smiths were not part of any cover-up".

REPLY:  Is there any other credible explanation for his conduct, and for how both the McCanns and Met Police have successfully made use of his sighting for over 10 years now?

Yes. Phoebe is right and you are lying your arse off.

Then that human suppository, Aquilla, turned up to contribute, three times:

The Smith sighting is bogus.

Arsehole.


Part two follows tomorrow.  

Making it up

Tony had to admit that Jill had some great ideas

Afternoon all.

Today I thought I'd take a look at the steaming pile of ordure that is Bonkers Bennett's letter to the Portuguese AG.

In order to do so I am going to delete about 95% of it and restrict it to the basic claims, because there is literally nothing to be achieved by going into the detail, other than giving my carpel tunnels a thorough workout

So here we go

No such thing 

(Address redacted) 

But it’s somewhere in Shropshire                                                                                                        

28 February 2018      

To: 

Exma Sra. Procuradora-Geral da República,

Drª Joana Marques Vidal

Dear Drª Joana Marques Vidal

re: The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann: New evidence of what happened to her

BIG LIE ALERT – there is no new evidence 

We are a group of mainly British researchers. Most of us have studied the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in depth for the past 10 years.

You are not researchers. You are not investigators. You are members of a web forum that thinks it’s the FBI 

Our members and researchers include many people with professional expertise, such as ex-police officers, lawyers, photographers, computer experts and statement analysts.

You have a former police officer, a former trainee solicitor who was struck off, you wouldn’t know a computer expert if they sauntered up and kicked you in the nuts and ‘statement analysis’ is entirely unproven

(Tavares de Almeida’s report  was here - deleted all this bit. No idea why he has bothered telling them what their own people wrote) 

The research that we have undertaken – and that of many others both here, in Portugal, and elsewhere – leads us to support all of the above conclusions in Tavares de Almeida’s report – except for one.

For ‘’research’’ read arguing the toss on the CMOMM and banning anyone who disagreed 

We noted that when the report of the Policia Judiciara was archived in July 2007, it was said that the case would be re-opened if ‘new and credible evidence’ was received by the Portuguese authorities.  The case was re-opened in the PJ’s Oporto office in 2013. Our letter contains evidence which we believe they should see and act on. 

No it doesn’t. Seriously, it doesn’t. No evidence has been presented at all, just a load of fuckwittery where the conclusions should be

As a result of painstaking research by many people, we believe that we are now in a position to supply you with new and credible evidence on one matter (the date of death) covered in the first point of Tavares de Almeida’s report, namely: “Conclusion  A. the minor Madeleine McCann died in Apartment 5A at the Ocean Club resort in Praia da Luz, on the night of 3 May 2007”.

Yeah, you said that already and it was bollocks. Saying it again just makes it repetitive bollocks

We are satisfied that we can now provide sufficient evidence to show that the minor Madeleine McCann died not on the night of Thursday 3rd May, but instead died between Sunday afternoon (29th April) and Monday afternoon (30th April).

You can’t.

The remainder of this letter sets out in brief summary the evidence which we suggest points clearly to Madeleine having died on the Sunday or Monday that week.

You wouldn’t know a ‘’brief summary’’ if it shat on your cornflakes 

We will present the evidence under these seven headings: 

There now follows a list of eight headings, so the dozy wankpuffin can’t count either.

Anyway, I am going to comment on the headings and delete the rest

A  A large number of false statements were made at the outset, containing a huge amount of fabricated evidence. These added credibility to the McCanns’ claim that Madeleine had been abducted on Thursday 3 May. They diverted the PJ investigation into believing that Madeleine was still alive that day.

This is not evidence, it is opinion. What’s more it is the opinion of people who have clearly stopped taking their tablets. Bennett has not produced any evidence to support these sweeping claims

B  The photograph of Madeleine McCann, Dr Gerry McCann and Amelie, taken by the Ocean Club pool.

There is nowt wrong with the photo. Bennett uses weather data taken from a weather station 50 miles away as the basis for his bonkers claims. Bullshit about Flickr is just that - bullshit

C  The absence of photographs of Madeleine taken after Sunday. (7)

Utter bullshit. There are oodles of photos of her taken after Sunday, including photos taken by other people with Madeleine in the background. In fact, that alone blows all the rest of this bullshit document out of the water

D  The fabricated statement of Nuno Lourenco, who tried to identify Wojchiech Krokowski as a potential child-kidnapper who had tried to abduct his daughter on Sagres beach. (3) (8) (9) (10) (11)

More opinion portrayed as evidence. There is nothing whatsoever to indicate this was fabricated

E  The unreliable evidence of the children’s nanny (and McCann family friend), Catriona Baker, Dr Gerry McCann and Dr Kate McCann about an alleged ‘high tea’ at the Ocean Club Tapas restaurant, at about 5pm to 6pm on Thursday 3 May. (12)

More opinion, totally contradicted by the evidence contained within numerous eyewitness testimonies

F The lack of any credible, independent evidence by anybody that Madeleine McCann was seen alive after Sunday 29th April.  (7) (13)

Total cobblers. Really not worthy of anything more than that. There is ample evidence – eyewitnesses, documented records and photographic evidence

G  The mystery of the strange ‘Make-Up Photo’ of Madeleine, which appears to have been taken on Sunday 29th April, (5) (14) (15) and

There is no mystery and there is no indication it was taken on that date

H  Clear photographic evidence that the very same pyjamas Madeleine had with her on holiday in Praia da Luz were later held up by the McCanns at two press conferences, one in London on 5th June 2007, the other in Amsterdam, Holland, on 7th June 2007. (16) (17)

There is no such evidence. It was clearly stated that they were her sister’s pyjamas and that Madeleine’s were very similar and a little larger

Okay – so those are your eight headings. And all he has presented so far is a plate of double wank with shit chips.

I have deleted all the crap which followed which is basically a summary of ten years of Baldylocks posts. I could go through each individual point and debunk it but I’ve done that many times before so that can be found elsewhere

The facts point to death on Sunday, or Monday at the latest.

No they don’t. You have not presented any facts, just hypotheses.

This, we suggest, opens up a vital new line of enquiry.

It doesn’t 

This, we suggest, must be the starting-point for a fresh Portuguese police investigation.

And they will probably suggest you fuck off

We add many references below and would be willing to assist the Portuguese judicial and police authorities in any further way that we can.   

Yeah – just a suggestion, guys. Don’t quote tabloid reports and fuckwits like Textusa as your sources. It just makes you look like even bigger dicks

Yours sincerely

Gobshites

Afternoon all.

I have just read the ''media release'' in which an assortment of people with evident mental health issues announce to the world that they have solved the Madeleine case.


Of course, all it consists of is the same bonkers conspiralunacy that Baldylocks has been peddling to the deranged for years.


So here is my plea to Tony Bennett, Jill Havern, former Chief Superintendent of Bins, Petermac and all the other gobshites who contributed to this steaming pile of horseshit:

If you really want to help, then fuck off. When you get to wherever you fuck off to, fuck off some more. Keep fucking off until you get the the Land of the Midnight Fuck, or wherever your final resting place is.

You are the worst thing to happen to this investigation ever. Ever. You give a bad name to anyone who is unconvinced by the McCann narrative and those of us in possession of functioning brains would like nothing more than to completely disassociate ourselves from anything you say, claim or invent

I will leave you with a piece of advice: if you really want to be taken seriously, do not list amongst your references a post by certified lunatic Textusa. The woman is more toxic than a Russian's trousers

Now fuck off

Kindest regards, etc

Not Textusa 

PS. Your theory is so bonkers that even Textusa has dissociated herself from it. You've hit rock bottom, man. Rock bottom  

Urgent letter For Tony

Attorney General
Lisbon
Portugal

Mr Antony Baldylocks Bennett

Some godforsaken place in Shropshire

England

Dear Baldylocks,

What really happened to Madeleine McCann 

The Attorney General has received your letter explaining in exhaustive and indeed exhausting detail what happened to the missing girl.

He has asked me to convey his thanks for finding time to write to him, especially as you must be very busy looking forward to being able to buy your vegetables by the pound again when you leave the EU. 

Your theory has proved to be very popular here; so much so that we are each chipping in 5 euros a go to be afforded the pleasure of taking your letter home for the night, so that we can piss ourselves laughing in the comfort of our own homes. 

We have spoken at length to our British counterparts, who greeted the news of your findings with a rousing "Oh for fuck's sake, not that bloody loon again - what does the speccy twat want this time?" So as you can see, you are certainly making an impact!

We would like to show our appreciation for your 'help' by awarding you a free 'Spa Holiday' to be taken as soon as possible at the Hospital de Lisboa pelo criminoso insano, a charming resort with all mod cons. You won't even need to bring clothing, as this will be provided free of charge, although you will need to surrender your shoelaces as a deposit.

Hope to see you soon,

Attorney General
