I never think Thatcher, Blair or Tony Parson. I am also aware most of you do not condone this little "man"´s point of view or the gutter press. This is a satirical text, is all.
Tony Parsons, writer to British tabloid Daily Mirror saw fit to insult the Ambassador of a country with which the UK has a long tradition of bullying...err, I mean, of loyal amity and friendship. Here is his October 29 chronic, with some short notes from yours truly.
"Portugal's ambassador to Britain, Senor Antonio Santana Carlos, says that the Madeleine McCann case has seriously damaged relations between the two countries. Well, whose fault is that? "
Love the "senor". You forgot the "ñ", though. "Señor" would be perfect spanish. Too bad Senor Antonio Santana Carlos is portuguese.
It is the fault of the spectacularly stupid, cruel Portuguese police. I have never much cared for the convention of calling cops "pigs" or "filth", but I am happy to make an exception.
They have tried to cover their humiliation at coming nowhere close to finding that stolen child by fitting up her parents.
This coming from a country where the police has shot a Brazilian worker mistaking him for an Arab terrorist. A country where there are way, WAY more unsolved cases of children missing than in Portugal.
The decline in relations is also the fault of the appalling Portuguese media, happy to print any piece of poisonous trash spoon-fed to them by "police sources" treating the abduction of a small child as light entertainment.
You write in a BRITISH TABLOID! Enough said!
And the Portuguese public must also take their share of the blame. The sight of locals jeering at Kate McCann as she went in for questioning made me feel as though these leering bumpkins were not from another country, but another planet.
In your country, most people do not believe the McCanns are wholly innocent.
And the good ambassador can also be blamed for the decline in relations.
When he should be exercising a little diplomacy, he huffs and he puffs about the McCanns' tragic decision to leave their children sleeping alone on the night Madeleine was stolen.
"In Portugal we have the concept of a nuclear family," sniffs Senor Carlos. "That the families all live together."
They made a mistake, ambassador. Their lives have been wrecked. That is punishment enough, without your asinine, unwanted comments.
And I would respectfully suggest that in future, if you can't say something constructive about the disappearance of little Madeleine, then you just keep your stupid, sardine-munching mouth shut.
It would amaze you to know that Senor Carlos isn´t the only one who likes to munch sardines. In fact, some british women - and some men, I am sure - spending their vacations in Portugal love a good, long, greasy portuguese sardine. They say it is a most welcome change from their usual diet of ridicullous small, pinkish english sausages.
