So sue me

Well it would appear that the ghastly McCanns are going to sue a Portuguese red-top for libel after it claimed that the police believed them to be in some way responsible for Madeleine's death, possibly from an "accidental" sedative overdose.

Well all those grannies who gave their old age pensions can have the warm feeling inside that as well as funding the McCann's jet-set lifestyle and extended Portuguese holiday that they are now lining the pockets of the Portuguese versions of m' learned friends Sue, Grabbit and Runne.

Trouble is for the McCanns is that they now have to go into open court and argue their case that the remarks are libellous, this isn't like a criminal court where they have nothing to prove and the prosecution have to do the proving, here they have to prove they were libelled and you can bet that the newspaper's lawyers will be putting up a robust defence and asking some very, very pointed questions which they might find somewhat awkward to answer.

This is going to get interesting.

In the meantime, wonder what sort of mental state their other 2 kids are in?
