Mark Williams Thomas and Nicola Bulley 2 Years, 4 Months ago
I start a new thread as the previous one has expanded so much,, with tens of thousands of views.
So - Saturday 18th Feb.
Either MWT is being incredibly brave - taking on the entire British police force with his attack on the way they have conducted the search - or he is incredibly stupid and deluded, thinking he knows better than them. We all know that police (and ex police) can behave very foolishly and sometimes even criminally. Equally we know this applies to some, not all.
MWT has done some very strange things in his life but has not actually been convicted of any crime. We should remember this.
But we should also remember Karma.

The pricks at Sky News need help.
They probably waited around for hours to talk to this man to ambush him. He couldn't add what he told the police; as a dog walker myself you recognise the dogs more than the owners.
The dog had sense to shit to Kay Burley so kudos to the doggy.
I do see a lot of the same walkers but you you either exchange glances or make small talk whilst the dogs interact. At the same time keeping an eye on the dogs in case they turn.
Then after that we go our own ways, we don't invite people round for sandwiches or afternoon tea.
What were the scummy journos from Sky expecting to him say?
I don't know the fellow dog owners like I don't know the customers in the same supermarkets I go in to.
Re:Mark Williams Thomas and Nicola Bulley 2 Years, 4 Months ago
I note he hasn't found her still or proposed any new theory or approach. Perhaps he will surprise us with his brilliance this afternoon. But at the moment he seems to be using her (probable) death for self promotion. I feel sorry for anyone with such a careless approach to the sanctity of their own life and spirit.
Re:Mark Williams Thomas and Nicola Bulley 2 Years, 4 Months ago
My impression is that he criticises the police no matter what case he's looking at. Perhaps he's being astute in jumping on the wave of distrust of the police, following the Wayne Couzens and David Carrick cases, and exploiting it to boost his profile. He certainly seems to be getting plenty of media attention and to have no shortage of groupies (mainly women, I note) on social media.

I had been under the impression that Professor David Wilson would have known MWT from university, perhaps taught him, and it does look as if that might have been the case, as the Birmingham City University website says MWT graduated from the university with an MA in criminology in 2007 and Professor David Wilson's Wikipedia page says he was made a professor there in 2000 and an emeritus professor in 2017. JK2006 wrote: Oh yes Jo; Wilson described MWT to me as "toast" after Rose's Mail article. He knew him, taught him and saw through him.
Interesting. Is MWT really "toast", though? The Daily Mail "exclusive" is in no way critical, boosts his profile, and describes him as "the country's best-known independent criminal investigator".
He was also given a 10-minute interview on GB News yesterday about Jimmy Savile. He was introduced by the presenter as a former "detective police officer" and the presenter said that Savile had "thousands" of victims. MWT didn't correct him, naturally. MWT that when he was initially asked if he had heard anything about Savile being investigated for child abuse, he said that he hadn't but that he thought at the time that Savile was a "complete weird person" and he "wouldn't want him anywhere near" his kids. He made a couple of other allegations during the interview, saying that Savile was "brutal" and would have other managers of dance halls beaten up, and had given a victim he had raped VD. At the end of the interview, the presenter plugged MWT's "new" book, i.e. the only book he seems to have written, which came out a while ago.
Meanwhile, GB News has ignored William Merritt and his book about Rolf Harris and TalkTV have only ever interviewed him on topics that have nothing to do with Rolf Harris or his book.

I wonder if they are talking and we are soon to get another article from David Rose?
MWT is certainly getting a lot of criticism from Police Officers.
I doubt that we'll get another article on this from David Rose, as he no longer seems to work for the Daily Mail (who now seem to be promoting MWT, anyway) but for the Jewish Chronicle.

Oh I'm with you on "dog walker" Honey - it's a job (and a strange one; surely one of the points of having a dog is walking him or her or trans). One of the best bonding recreations. Yes if you're ill or immobile. But because you can't be bothered, you pay someone else (who normally has 6 other dogs, all on leashes)?

A parent is a job itself, being a care giver to a loved one is a job, being a dog owner is both.
The media have turned the Nicola Bulley case in to a 3 ring circus. Now we got police turned to media personalities sticking their pokers in.
If the media journos think they can do better what's stopping them hiring a boat and going deep sea diving?

Being a dog owner or parent is not being a nanny and dog walker.
If I put the bins out, I am not a refuse collector, am I?

You can be anything now Honey according to Liberalism.

Point taken, but people do tend to be blunt when they are offended and angry at people who use missing and dead women and children to boost their profile.

Interesting article, Pip4356. From January 2011, so he was doing this well before "exposing Jimmy Savile". Perhaps once he'd achieved that great accolade, the police decided to overlook this incident.
Moving on from the general public, the ex-superintendent began to place blame on experts who became associated with the case. "Some of these so-called experts added to this, they came full of good intentions [saying] that they were there to support the family. And then they're pushing out - in some cases - vitriolic media messages, on their own social media." He went on: "It was so unpleasant to see them milking what is a tragedy. Everything was 'hashtag Nicola Bulley'." Bob Eastwood said the individuals he had in mind had held interviews by the river where Nicola disappeared and had criticised the police. This "sucked in significant demands that the comms function had to handle," he claimed. "I don't think they were prepared for that... some of these so-called specialists made a real nuisance of it all."
MWT has been passing on his condolences and implying he was one of the good guys. Getting some blow-back from other Twitter users.
Police confirmed that it was #NicolaBulley that was recovered. I have passed my condolences on & totally support their statement - what Paul & Emma in particular have had to endure on SM, from some media outlets & other individuals has been disgraceful. RIP Nikki
Mark. I challenged you on this a few days ago and will do again. What drove you to post a video full of speculation, conjecture and guesswork? I do hope you now take this opportunity to look inward and self-reflect.
Re:Mark Williams Thomas and Nicola Bulley 2 Years, 4 Months ago
The man makes millions from victims of the False Allegations Industry, preferably dead ones (as Carl Beech did). He's more careful now than he was twenty odd years ago when he came very close to the line (Blackmail about corpses?). I suspect several hundred people are hoping for Karma to kick in (not least his ex wife). The Bulley family must be joining the McCanns and the Savile relatives and a dozen others. Oh MWT what a web you weave.
