[Mr Gray]

It may well do, but that is not the point.

Private citizens in Portugal are not permitted to investigate in the face of a live police investigation.  And I have no desire to get hauled up by the GNR.  That is why certain questions I would like to put to Coronel Sequeira of the GNR need to be stacked up until OG calls it a day.

Gerry appears to have a gatekeeper on his university email address.  Perhaps one day I will find out for sure.  But probably I won't.

So you have emailed Gerry... LOL

Have you forgotten posting the following yesterday..


I have a number of questions for Mr Grime.  If you have a contact method for him, please enlighten me.

After all, if I don't ask, I am unlikely to get answers.

No I haven't forgotten.  What is your point?

[Mr Gray]

No I haven't forgotten.  What is your point?

If you can't see the point there's no more to be said.... I really can't see anyone getting any sense out of you.

You are probably the only person reading the forum who doesn't see my point

[Venturi Swirl]

No I haven't forgotten.  What is your point?

The point is: you sought enlightenment and then when it was proffered you rebuffed it.  What is YOUR point?

Scotland Yard have asked the HO for a years funding to follow a ‘sensitive’ lead, according to Martin Brunt.

"Great news for Madeleine McCann's parents because, as each period of funding comes to an end they must fear Scotland Yard is about to pull the plug," Martin Brunt, Sky News crime correspondent, told the channel.

"Clearly, Scotland Yard feels it is worth continuing.

"This development might means there is new confidence there is a breakthrough in the investigation, or this final sensitive theory that they've been pursuing for two years is proving to be more complicated, more sensitive than they thought at the start.

"But clearly officers feel it is worth carrying on with this investigation."

Very good news.

[Eleanor]

Excellent.  OG are obviously on to something.

[faithlilly]

Very good news.

For once we agree Erngath.

[Angelo222]

Excellent.  OG are obviously on to something.

They've been saying that for almost eight years.  Operation Grange is a farce imo, it should have been wound up long ago and let the McCanns spend their own money doing what it was intended for in the first place.

If the government can casually toss £30 m down the drain as part of their incompetent preparations for a no deal Brexit, I’m sure no one could possibly begrudge an extra £300k being spent on trying to bring closure to this case.

No hope of finding out what happened any time soon then.

[Brietta]

No hope of finding out what happened any time soon then.

I think that is rather a snide remark.

If the police are asking for funding which will cover their work on Madeleine's case for another year it seems obvious that they consider that there is still work to be done on her behalf.

Or do you as a sceptic consider they should just pack up and leave it be ... since it is obvious they are not casting their net in your preferred direction?

The term for this is a dripping roast.
