Er, maybe because Poulton and her gang have trashed the woman - an abuse survivor - all over the internet? And Poulton, with the utmost hypocrisy, made a few quid from the Express trashing the woman further?Sonia Poulton @SoniaPoulton · 7h 7 hours ago
@LeeTaylorRyan sent this today. Who is Faye? And why is Janet Scharenborg aka JustStanding3 so obsessed with me?
And she isn't the only one Poulton and her clique have done it to - as her hater fans would know, if they bothered to do the most basic research on their new idol.
Oh well, they can't say they weren't warned, when Poulton backstabs them to further her longed-for career with Sky.

The Poulton Pong
An adult and a professional she declared on Twitter last evening, who does not need the permission of others to do as she pleases, or doorstep at the home of young children presumably?
But isn't that the oddest of things.
For weeks Poulton has been promoting a documentary which she will bring to the world. She cannot speak too much about it (of course she can't ) she'll wait until after the inquest into the death of Brenda Leyland before she does.
But why the wait?
It cannot be out of respect for Ms Leyland, else she would have kept silent completely until after the inquest?
So what else could explain the wait? What else could explain her promoting a documentary which she has no date of airing?
Poulton has been drip feeding her frenzied followers, feeding them a diet of Kate McCann for weeks now. All salivating at the thought of Kate McCann being doorstepped, pertinent questions put to her.
As if! In the real world like that is going to happen. Kate McCann standing politely answering questions. Questions she refused to answer when put to her by police. Questions which for almost 8 years she has avoided like the plague. Paid top lawyers, Clarence Mitchell £hundreds thousands to make sure she was never made answerable for ANYTHING in connection with the suspicious disappearance/death of her daughter Madeleine.
So what are the chances that this documentary will feature Kate McCann co-operating with Poulton, she never fully co-operated with police, so why would she entertain Poulton on her own doorstep?
Short answer - she would not!
So is Poulton's hype, exactly that, just hype, and the only thing the viewer will be getting their teeth into, is not Kate McCann, but a damp squib?
Only time will tell.
But it is the curious pong that surrounds Poulton that is concerning. Haven't quite put my finger on exactly what is the stench, but I think safe to say, I think I smell a rat!
All the hooha from Gerry McCann, demanding that people be silenced, that those persons online who dare question him, his wife, their outrageous story of abduction, be sent to prison no less! Yet here we have Poulton who has now posted pictures, pictures taken of her, standing right outside the front door of the McCann home, a cameraman filming her. So at least three persons present. Poulton, cameraman, and the person who took the still.
Now if I turned up and hung around the McCann front door this morning, just stood there on their front path, their lawn, whatever, taking pictures, filming, you can bet your boots that a few burly British Bobbies would have me removed pretty darn quickly, and I would have been made an example of - the horrid individual who had stalked the McCann family.
You can be sure that Gerry McCann would have contacted Clarence Mitchell (before the police) who would in turn have had this splattered across Sky News, the press, the story of how Kate and Gerry McCann had been been threatened by an intruder on their property. How the McCann family feared for their lives, the lives of their children. Stories of how the little ones had been so affected by this. You can be sure Clarence would have had a team down there pronto to capture on film the evil do'er being arrested.
Brunt, in his little piece, accused people of threatening McCann family simply because they lived in the same area, frequented the same stores, leisure centres, in fact they were a threat simply for having breathed the same air as the McCanns!
But what do we have herein case of Poulton - Perfect silence!
Poulton has been on about her documentary for many weeks. She has been bickering on twitter (so utterly unprofessional) with the nasty individual that is Jim Gamble. So has made no secret of this documentary.
The McCanns have there man 'Wright' trawling the internet on a daily basis we are told, so it would be reasonable to say that the McCanns knew to expect a 'visit' from Poulton. And knowing this, it seems extraordinary that Kate McCann would then be 'caught out' by Poulton (if as Poulton is saying, this is the case) Also the McCanns it has been reported in the press in the past have some state of the art security system in place at their home.
Yet Poulton from what we can establish, waltzed onto the McCann property and 'tackled' shall we say Kate McCann, and not a murmur from Clarence Mitchell, Sky, Murdoch, not even a word from that nice man at the Sun, who brought us Cristobell's Trollgate.
More importantly, not a word from Gerry McCann, the police!
I haven't as yet figured out as I said what the pong around Poulton is, but it pervades the internet.
Poulton last evening declared that she will NOT be answering any more questions put to her on Twitter regarding this documentary, but wait for it, she will throw you a bone bring you good folks a bit more to chew - very SOON... Mmm yummy.
Two main questions here:
Why is Poulton behaving as she is, on twitter arguing with others, drip feeding the twit people, what she wants them to hear? Not professional.
And why have the McCanns not said a word about all of this? Not like them to pass up an opportunity to play the victims.
Not like them, not by a long shot.
Do the McCanns not want to say anything about it, as it might draw unwelcome attention to them the part they played in the circumstances which led to the tragic death of Brenda Leyland?
I don't think that would stop McCann. They are not that sensitive.
They appeared at a function just after Ms Leyland's death, and McCann smirked when a question about same was put to him. So he really doesn't give a rats ass about that. We're talking the two people who have stood on the steps of a Lisbon Court in front of TV cameras from around the world, and lied through their teeth about many things. They are the people who have stood in Court and before the Court been untruthful. They are the people whose police witness statements could have been written by Pinnochio!
So NO, if McCann their teams of lawyers, Mitchell et al have said not a thing about Poulton parking her fanny on their property, I'd hazard a guess that fanny was welcome!
Poulton's build up to her documentary is panning out just like DCI Redwood's build up to Crimewatch 2013...trailers and all!
The Poulton Pong certainly pervades the online air, she knows what it is, possibly the McCanns and their team know too, together concocted this new scent? And of course that nice man, rat face from the Sun he for sure is used to splashing Eau de Rodent all over!
I find the idea of Poulton having doorstepped the home of the McCann children abhorrent absolutely nothing can justify her actions in this regard.
If it is a case that the McCann couple are somehow involved in the Poulton Pong, then all hang their heads in shame!

THIS IS SEAN HYLAND AKA LAFFIN ASSASSIN, LATEST BEST BUDDY OF POULTON
Sykes Sat Feb 07, 2015 11:00 am
They say you will be judged by the company you keep - says it all, doesn't it? Lie down with scum and you will get up covered in slime. SykesVile troll's warning to McCanns
AN INTERNET troll warned over vile messages about Madeleine McCann’s parents last night boasted: “The only way to shut me up is to jail me or kill me.”
By Tracey Kandohla / Published 29th April 2012, Sunday Star online
Sean Hyland, 50, was cautioned last year over hateful remarks he made about Kate and Gerry McCann and their spokesman.
But when we confronted him he vowed to carry on with his campaign of sick comments.
The steel worker insisted he was “no conspiracy nut” but he could face fresh police action if he continues with his messages.
Hyland posted offensive comments and also left messages on the answerphone of McCann spokesman Clarence Mitchell.
He branded the dad-of-three “a defender of kiddie killers”, “a pathetic pervert”, “a prat” and doctors Kate and Gerry “quacks”.
In one online message he threatened: “We’re not reactive, we’re proactive, we’re attacking you.”
And in another Hyland wrote: “I think the messages I left 4 Clarence Mitchell on his answerphone have rattled him.”
Mr Mitchell, from North Finchley, London, first reported the malicious communication to his local police.
A McCann source said: “It is vile abuse, very upsetting for all concerned, and must be stopped. Thankfully, the police are now involved.”
Scotland Yard officers asked for help from colleagues in Humberside who cover the area where Hyland lives.
A Met spokesman said: “The matter was dealt with by way of a first instance harassment warning being served on the suspect a month later.
“As yet, no further action has been taken.”
A Humberside Police source said: “There has been a formal complaint and he has now been warned.”
But in the week Scotland Yard detectives reviewing the case claimed Madeleine might still be alive, Hyland continued his rantings.
He said: “I’m still convinced Clarence Mitchell is lying on behalf of Kate and Gerry McCann.
“My theory is the child died and her parents are involved in hiding her body and they are using the Government and taxpayers’ money to evade justice. The McCanns repulse me, Clarence Mitchell is a liar and the only way to shut me up is to put me in jail or kill me.
“I’m not the sharpest knife in the block but I’m not the village idiot. I am no conspiracy nut.”
Kate, 44, and Gerry, 43, face the agonising fifth anniversary of their daughter’s disappearance from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, on Thursday.
The couple, from Rothley, Leics, are convinced their daughter, who would be nine, is still alive.
Mr Mitchell said: “The matter is in the hands of the police and I cannot comment.”

During an aerobics lesson, Geri comes up with a name "Spice" for the band, which Emma commented on how it it fit in in the band saying, "Because we're all really different", additionally they had already wrote a song named Sugar and Spice. However, an Amerian artist had already had that name so they added "Girls" at the end, finally forming the band that would grow to be loved by fans called the "Spice Girls".

Just one question here? A serious journalist, a professional, indulging in petty squabbles on Twitter, a gun toting thug of a boyfriend adding his twopennarth...........................is this really what she wants to portray? Seriously? A missing child and she's squealing about being "defamed", arguing the toss like a fishwife? That's a professional attitude to a work project is it?

Can anyone please explain why Sky News is employing, in even the most menial position, the Icke TV failure Sonia Poulton?
Can anyone please explain why Murdoch is now employing a proven troll as a commentator on trolls?
What kind of credibility can Sky News hope to retain having allowed Sonia Poulton to act as a commentator on trolling for them?
Nothing anywhere suggests that this foul-mouthed woman has the slightest journalistic skill at all. She is nothing more than a shrieky woman who has had a lot of fluffy articles published. That is not journalism at all. Her articles (even those from music magazines decades ago) consist of nothing but personal anecdotes. There is not a single article which demonstrates the ability to research a subject, any subject. Even her recent comments on trolling have all been about the way she has been abused rather than properly researched articles or contributions.
But Sonia Poulton conveniently forgets to mention that most of the "comments" she is describing as trolling of her are in fact simply retaliation for the vile and abusive posting and commentary that she has directed at others. Her Twitter account is extremely revealing but every tweet on it should be read in context.
It would appear that Sky News has either failed miserably to check this woman out or that they have such low standards that this rather pathetic figure is acceptable as a commentator on their channel.
Here are just two very recent examples of absolute proof that Sonia Poulton is an online thug (along with her current boyfriend who like a big kid likes photos with guns to make him look brave) and an online, foul-mouthed, bitchy harridan.
ps I think that Rosalinda Hutton needs to put her brain in gear over the way in which she was used by Sonia Poulton. I would advise Rosalinda to go to Sonia and pose a few well chosen questions to find out exactly what has gone on. Or did Sonia actually explain everything including that she was looking for a person to confirm herself as a vile troll in the MSM? Because, Rosalinda, that is exactly what you did. And no matter how much you now squeal that you mentioned the one occasion when somebody was nasty to you, the fact is that you described yourself very willingly as an online troll who gets a buzz from squishing people and being an online bitch and that you have been doing this for years and years. What a legacy to pass on to your family!

Defiant: Sonia Poulton is determined not to repeat her father's mistakes
Sykes Sun Feb 08, 2015 8:31 pm
Thanks to the person who found this - from MailonLine 2010.
Updated: 00:57 GMT, 7 April 2010
Defiant: Sonia Poulton is determined not to repeat her father's mistakes
Two years ago, I recounted in this newspaper the painful experience of growing up without a father.
I reflected on my earliest memory, at the age of three, of 'my daddy', Donald Traynor, handing me play bricks, bending to kiss me on the head - and then walking out right of my life.
It was the winter of 1967, he was 49 and I never saw or heard from him again. For years, I dwelled on this rejection. Was he ever sad that he wasn't with me at Christmas or on my birthdays? Or did he simply never give me a second thought?
I grew up in a small Cotswold village with two half-brothers and a half-sister. Their father had died of cancer several years before our mother, Elizabeth Poulton, met and married my father.
Her new husband, Donald, was said to be a charming, intelligent man who designed aircraft for a living. He became stepfather to my siblings - Bernard, Gerald and Teresa - and I arrived shortly after.
The relationship between my father and mother deteriorated quickly. They had very different personalities, and, I was later to discover, there were unpleasant and intolerant elements to his character which were untenable to my liberal, fair-minded mother.
So my father packed up and left, never to return. He walked out of my life and contributed nothing to it - emotionally, physically or financially. He left without a trace.
I didn't even have a photo of him. There were no pictures of him - not even from the wedding or any other family occasion. I was left to grow up conjuring images of a faceless father.
Throughout my childhood, his absence was a source of growing curiosity to me.
Our father, from all accounts, had been a larger-than-life character
I speculated about which, if any, of my traits were his genetic gifts to me. Did we look alike? Did we share the same sense of humour? Was he queasy at the sight of blood? Did bad manners infuriate him as much as they do me?
You might wonder why I didn't just ask my mother these questions, but she was ill with kidney disease during my childhood and we seldom, if ever, talked about my father.
I feared that it would add to her poorly condition if I were to burden her with any of my numerous questions about him.
Occasionally, Bernard and Gerald would make comments about my father. They said he prized intelligence above all else and would reward them with pocket money if they could answer world knowledge questions he set them. Other than that, he made little impression on them as a stepfather.
My mum lost her battle with ill health when I was 11, and my older siblings - and their partners - assumed responsibility for me.
I was 18 when I left for London and began my journalistic life working for a series of local newspapers in Central and West London.
Family resemblance: Sonia's dad Donald Traynor in a photo which made her realise how much they shared
As a young woman, I did not have my first serious relationship until I was 21 - which was old by the standards of my friends. I was always suspicious of men, never fully trusting their motives.
I met my long-term partner, Stephen, in the mid-nineties and found myself thinking more and more about my father after I became a parent myself. Shaye was born in 1997, and almost at once I felt a strong urge to find her grandfather.
Despite my achievement as a mother, and professional successes as a journalist and broadcaster, I never felt a complete person. And so it was that I spent the next decade searching for my father.
I trawled the internet, library records, phone entries and county and electoral registers.
I contacted missing person associations, including the Samaritans and Find-a-Parent. All put out bulletins to aid my search, but none bore fruit.
Little did I know that my father had died of cancer in a Leeds hospital 16 days after Shaye's birth, at the age of 79.
Then, in 2007, my sister-in-law, Hilary, discovered his death notice while searching an ancestry website for family connections.
My quest had come to a close - and there was no happy ending. After that, it seemed the trail had gone cold - until one day in the autumn of 2008 when I received a note via an internet networking site. I did a double-take when I saw the sender's name: Stephen Glenn Traynor.
He was my half-brother from my father's side, and eight years my senior. My mother had mentioned that my father had children from a previous marriage, but she knew nothing about them.
Now here was one of them, telling me that he had been searching for me for several years, aware of my existence and keen to make contact.

Then it transpired that Stephen had a sister, Christine, who was 49. Suddenly, I had two new siblings. My joy was tangible.
What I couldn't know was that this email would herald the start of a painful, but ultimately healing, journey.
Stephen told me that after he had left my mother, my father had briefly returned to Leeds — then he had upped and left for Australia.
And just as he had cut off all contact with me, so he had abandoned Stephen and Christine — failing to support them or make contact during his time away.

Donald Traynor remained in Australia for a decade before settling first in the U.S. and then Canada, where, in a nod to his talents as a jazz musician, he started a music school.
He returned to Britain in the Eighties, penniless, and lived close to Stephen and his family in Leeds, until his death from prostate cancer.
Our father, from all accounts, had been a larger-than-life character.
He enjoyed a glass of whisky and was nicknamed General Patten by his neighbours because of his statesman-like presence and dominant manner.
I learned that he had a bossy streak — a fact I found remarkable given that I had been nicknamed Bossy Sossy at primary school.
Then the details become a little fuzzy. Stephen recalled our father mentioning that he was a foundling baby who was left on the steps of the Swan Hotel in Harrogate (which Agatha Christie had famously fled to in the Twenties), and raised by the spinster owner.

Despite exhaustive checks, I have been unable to confirm this story.
I do know that my father attended Harrogate Grammar School and went on to study music at the Birmingham School of Music.
From there, he trained as an aircraft designer, completing his training with the RAF in Fairford, Gloucestershire.
He had clearly been a highly motivated and ambitious man: professionally if not personally.
He also appeared to have been a serial husband. It emerged that long before I came
along, and long before the marriage that produced Stephen and Christine, there had
been an early marriage, in the Forties, which produced a daughter.
Inevitably, Donald abandoned her, too.
He divorced each of his three wives, and abandoned each successive family, before re-marrying and creating more children.
I was the result of his final marriage. My eldest half-sister is 62. She was born as the result of that first marriage in the Forties — and until recently, she didn’t even know
I existed.
Her account of my father’s life places him as an orphan, rather than a foundling, adopted at birth by the owners of the Swan Hotel in Harrogate and left a sizeable
inheritance by his adoptive parents, which he frittered away during his travels around
the world.
Whichever version is correct, what remains abundantly clear is that our father was abandoned by his biological parents — a template he was set to repeat over and over
again with his own children.
While I have sought to understand his actions as a consequence of his past, my eldest half-sister — so I am informed through her daughter, since she does not want
to ‘rake up the past’ — remains unforgiving.
She is angered by our father’s reckless attitude towards his inheritance, and that he did not put any money aside for his children.
At 45, I have accepted that his absence has wrought its share of emotional problems, and has had far-reaching consequences for me. According to psychologists, fathers act as ‘first boyfriends’ to their young daughters, and the relationship between them serves as a blueprint for the child’s future romantic experiences.
It is no coincidence, then, that my relationships with men have been ill-matched at best, and downright dangerous at worst.
Almost all of my romantic attachments have been with men who were emotionally
deficient, and frequently verbally and physically abusive.
They all ended — and usually badly. My last serious relationship, with my daughter’s father, came to an end in May 2000.
I have chosen to be single and celibate since. According to a psychologist that I saw for several years, I have ‘failed to maintain a mature, stable relationship with a partner because of man issues’.
She was in no doubt that they were inextricably linked to the lack of paternal care in my life.
The recent revelations about my father, despite the fact that they have painted him in a bleak light, have, nonetheless, given me a feeling of wholeness.
Rather than only knowing my maternal heritage, I have been blessed with a fuller knowledge of who I am, and where I come from, warts and all. For years, I had told myself that it didn’t matter whether I knew about my father or not.
But that was only a defence mechanism to protect myself.
It does matter. I am the result of two people. My father is 50 per cent of my DNA — and the importance of that cannot be underestimated.
Our fractured society has already created millions of half-siblings who have lost touch with each other — and the figures look set to increase, exponentially, over the next
decade.
Now, I fear for the one in five children growing up in fatherless homes, because I know the long, dark journey that lies ahead for them.
I spent decades in self-destruct mode, battling with depression, eating disorders and alcoholism. It’s hard not to blame it all on my father’s absence.
I now know that I am the daughter of a philandering, irresponsible, selfish man. But unlike my father, I accept responsibility for my actions and work strenuously not to repeat the way he chose to live his life.
So, despite being separated from my daughter’s father, I make it a priority to take her to see him several times a month at his London home.
My child’s need for her Daddy is uppermost. I was reminded of this when I glimpsed, for the first time in 45 years, a picture of my father, given to me by my half-brother Stephen.
I was stunned by my physical likeness to him. We share the same wide smile, identical apple-round cheeks and a similar mischievous glint in our eyes.
His thinning hair gleamed with the same red shade as mine. I have met Stephen and
Christine and their families on several occasions, and we are affectionate with each other, despite being virtual strangers.
Our other half-sister wants nothing to do with any of us. I suppose we serve only as a reminder of her unhappiness.
How do I feel about my father now? I think the best description is ‘calm indifference’. I have spent too many years raging about the man, and I’m not prepared to do that to
myself any more.
I have told my daughter very little about her grandfather, and sometimes I wonder what would have happened had I had a son.
Might he somehow have been infused with those genes that inspired my father to abandon three families, one after the other?
No matter how I try to rationalise my father’s actions, a nagging voice persists. It asks, over and over again, how can a parent leave a child without so much as a backward glance?
