McCanns going too far?

Ahh but they could have done much more to protect their child. Who exactly was driving the car at the time, given the nature of Port Harcourt should they have spent some of their "danger money" on armed guards for their child. Some will argue that they are irresponsible parents - especially if they don't just quietly disappear into media obscurity so that TW Fox can watch the news in peace.

I'm sorry, but that comparison is extremely weak compared to the McCann's scenario. Different ballpark altogether.

No it's an intelligence thing

Anyone who supports the BNP are either point-blank racist or utterly stupid tbh. Most of the time both!!
The BNP couldn't run a raffle if their lives depended on it let alone a country

And what if they're just point blank racist?

Who's the intelligent one now?

So you think it`s only people who who support the BNP that have this view on the McCanns?

If so you seriously need to get out more "LOL"

No I think that the majourity of BNP supporters will have this opinion due to the type of people they are.

Forgive m0t0rola, he seems to be in frenzy at the moment. However he is trying to deny what is eating him, the BNP seem to be the obsession at the moment

But I suppose that fact will get brushed under the carpet as it totally wasn't their fault

Leaving kids on their own where they may injure themselves/choke/god knows what is perfectly fine. It's the rest of us that are wrong as we all live in a culture of fear!

Well when you see youngsters being ignorant and racist at work it tends to annoy and upset you when supposed mature adults from organisations such as BNP fuel this hatred!!

You try and explain to a nice kind gentle kid that the reason why he was beaten up was simply because he was wearing a turban, perhaps then you will understand how disgusting and pathetic people who support the BNP are!!

What a complete and utter load of tosh.
BNP are British Nationals and would like nothing more for this British child to be found.
Some people spout the most ridiculous crap sometimes.
Dirtydog's BNP support has got nothing to do with his views.

She`s dead,time they ACCEPTED it and moved on.

And there speaks somebody who hasn't got a child.
When the child is found dead or alive then they will be able to move on, until then I wouldn't rest.

Where do you work?

Did they leave a note explaining this? Was it signed 'the BNP'?

Cause and effect, maybe you should explain to him the "cause" so he can hate those people first that incited the effect. Might give him a different view on wearng that turban.

I really don't understand how releasing a cover of a Bryan Adams song would help in the bid to find her...
Surely this is just more a distraction for the parents rather than something which would help in any way?

Wearing a turban has nothing to do with Islam...

i never said it did, but a small majority of people cause a larger reaction that fuels the idiotic bnp, the child might feel that wearing the turban becomes a symbol of segregation and makes him an easy target.
Dont think ive ever seen an indian child or a muslim attack for wearing a nike hat, but we dont live in a society that see it any other way because of those stupid few. The vast majority are good, but you only ever hear about the bad.

GarethSouthgate · 7 Jul 2007 at 17:20

So why would that give him a different view on wearing a turban? Because some people might not like it? Shouldn't we all try and live our lives without fearing what extremists might think/want us to change?

Why is everyone so keen to excuse the behaviour of the McCanns by irrelevant comparisons and saturation media coverage...

No-one's excusing them. They made a mistake which resulted in the worst possible consequences. I don't see why they should be vilified for doing the right thing now, doing everything they can to get their child back.

It wasn't a mistake to me. They didn't happen to leave their children alone by mistake did they? They knew what they were doing, not expecting their children to be abducted obviously, but thats still not acceptable to most people.

did the BNP or its supporters carry out the attack?

Are you under the misconception that the BNP or its supporters approve of such attacks? While some might, you'll find supporters of ALL political parties have people who would support such things.

Quite how you got the BNP into this totally unrelated thread is still a mystery to me

Because nearly everything they are doing currently will do nothing to help get their child back, perhaps? It almost seems to be turning into a business machine.

I also can't help thinking that part of their current strategy is to keep everyone ignoring their negligence, but that may be me being cynical. I can just imagine the reaction if a set of parents on a council estate left their kid locked in a room every night while they went to the pub and something bad happened...
