On the Jane Tanner statement, or at least the version of it online, we have, I think, confirmation that the statements online have, indeed, been corrupted.
Of course, we must never forget that the statements were uploaded by Duarte Levy, of virulent anti-McCann persuasion, who ought not to have been allowed near them. Tellingly, despite promising/threatening to, Levy has never uploaded the videos, just texts of the interviews, together with still-photographs of the interviewees, raising the question of whether the texts, online, are true to the originals, or whether they have been altered/tampered with.
As we know, there actually was controversy about whether Jane Tanner, at a point before Kate had raised the alarm that Madeleine was missing, could have walked past Gerry, locked in earnest conversation with Jez Wilkins, without either of the men noticing Jane. As we also know, the point matters because, moments later, Jane witnessed a man carrying a child who, in hindsight and retropsect,
might have been Madeleine's abductor. Of course, ever since, McCann accusers have gone all-out to try to discredit Jane.
Was a part of that campaign manipulation of Jane's online statement, or at least the version of it online?
According to it, the version of Jane's statement online, Jane, asked about something unconnected, veers into a lengthy non-sequitur about her footwear,
fliplops, how they were killing her feet, how she could barely walk in them, how she was rocking and swaying like a rowingboat in a force 10 gale.
The upshot of all that was this, a video I will add in an edit:
