I was in the florists today and they had yellow ribbons on the counter?

For Madeleine McCann, they were free for the taking, the shop weren't profiting from it in any way.





Although I found the initial out pouring of greif and the 'yellow ribbon mania' a bit sick, the fact this shop owner is still giving them away made me slightly sad.





What if it transpires that, as many suspect, there is more to the whole thing than meets the eye, how will all these decent and well wishing people feel? Are they being taken for a ride by the McCanns

Very brave question, have a star before some idiot reports you.


Of course people are being taken for a ride, its such a shame because so many people genuinely believe in the Mccann's and have parted with cash they needed themselves.


The problem is that not everybody is aware of the discrepancies in the Mcann stories, if they were, things would be a whole lot different. But that's down to Gordy Brown and our poodle media.

Reply:There is a lot more to this Heather than we know I hope that the kind people who gave to their Ltd company are not taken for a ride but i suspect they very well may have been
Reply:It does strike me as a bit sad now, why not just distribute piccies of the parents holding wads of fivers... Get the true spirit of the "CAMPAIGN"
Reply:The McCanns havent been straight up with anyone about anything. Yet they then expect the whole world to bend over backwards to help them.





Remember, how often have you seen them doorknocking? Never.





How often have you seen them searching a field or abandoned properties? Never.





Have you seen them use the disappearance to see the Pope and meet foreign dignitaries? Yes.





Seems to me they want the nice cushy roles involved in this 'search' but arent prepared to roll up their sleeves and do the hard graft like they expect everyone else to do.





But of most concern is the million pounds that has been donated? How much of that has already been squandered on QC fees?? How is a QC going to help find Maddy? People donated money to the fund in good faith assuming it would be used for a 'search' for Madeleine. Instead, they've just helped wealthy lawyers become even more wealthy and paid for the McCanns to have the longest summer holiday ever recorded.





The McCanns have a duty to open up their books and state exactly where the monies raised is going. That includes all airfares and accomodation expenses. They havent, and have no intention of doing so. All the scorn that is coming their way is entirely of their own doing for being so cagey about everything. When it all comes out in the wash, a few people are going to be very surprised by the result.
Reply:i hope and pray that you are all wrong have any of you thought what the outcome is if you are wrong which i hope to god you are no lol
Reply:The ribbons are for Maddie, not the parents.


If you feel you have been taken for a ride, that actually has nothing to do with a missing child.


You could have taken a yellow ribbon and worn it with respect.





PS It actually came from Tony Orlando's song Tie a Yellow Ribbon - a song about a prisoner returning to his home town. It's a sign of seperation and hope.
Reply:The Mccann's have made a circus of the entire situation. The have played the sympathy card quite well with the public and those innocent, hard earned cash is being used to pay QC fees why? Why do they need a legal team in the first place? they say the fund collected is to be used to help find madeleine etc....how have the money they've spent to pay lawyers help in anyway? They aren't paying the portugese police as this is their job.....so again I ask why?
Reply:You have bigger balls than I do for even raising the question.

Reply:There is certainally a lot more to this than meets the eye and when it transpires i believe all the kind hearted people will never donate money to anyone and be sickened ....





My 89 year old grandma donated her weekly pension and left herself short because she wanted to help find maddie ..
Reply:glad i read the other answers before responding, or it would have looked as if I'd cut and pasted Lisa T's answer


glad I'm not the only one who thought this, have a point from me girl
Reply:Yes Heather you are so right. Something hasn't added up since Madeleine went missing. I do not trust the McCanns what so ever. I can not help thinking there is a hell of a lot more to this then meets the eye. Time will tell. Also the McCanns are drawing the attention away from themselves the conning everyone. I can't wait until they run out of tricks and the real truth comes out.
Reply:In this media age, everything is spun, and spoon fed to the public. It will end in disillusion and Miss-trust.The fact that you think the Madeleine case is not clear cut, is testament to this. Just look at Labour! Once bitten twice shy, but it doesn't do society any good.
Reply:Some people believe what they want to believe, even when the core is lies, tittle-tattle, sick, etc.
Reply:DEAD is the word you are looking for. It means, end, passed away, gone from this world, "shuffled off this mortal coil", gone for ever, goodbye. The End, Fin, etc.
Reply:I know i'll probably be in trouble for saying this, but they let people take their daughter for free so why not take a ribbon for free.
Reply:what else can he do, they were not selling at all.
Reply:Less said the better. At least until the authorities sort this thing out. I will pass on the ribbon until such time. Do as you please of course. Free country isn't it?
Reply:im very sorry but what if it transpires that she was just abducted and the parents have had to put up with all this criticsm ,i think it is better to leave the mccaan subject alone we dont know the facts and the public shoud really be more sensitive to that.p.s im not having a go at you .x
Reply:How are they being taken for a ride exactly? Its their choice to give the ribbons away. Yellow ribbons indiciate missing people, its not a new thing. One day your child may go missing if you have one, or have any remember that.
