Remember Bell Pottinger? The were the Public Relations company drafted in to represent the McCanns and the Ocean Club in the immediate aftermath of Madeleine's diappearance. Well they are now representing Rebekah Brooks, the disgraced former editor of the News of The World.
The company's chairman David Wilson has been appointed by Rebekah Brooks' lawyers following her resignation. In her recent book Kate McCann talks candidly of the help offered by the late Clement Freud at his home in Praia da Luz. Elizabeth Freud is the daughter of Rupert Murdoch and the wife of Matthew Freud whose company Freud Communications' went on to hire Clarence Mitchell, the McCann family's spokesman.
In March 2010, in the run up to the General Election, it was announced that Clarence Mitchell had been hired by Cameron and the Conservative Party. Mitchell would report directly to Andy Coulson - the former advisor of strategy at now at the centre of the hacking allegations.
Dragging poor old Cameron into the Madeleine affair? Now that those tricks really are dirty.
