According to gunit the abduction is based in facts

Well yes. I seem to recall that the abductor dog alerted to the presence of abductor odour in the McCanns apartment. That is a statement of truth & a proven fact.

They couldn't even name the crime.

there are a thousand and one "true facts" in the files.  The crime has been named now anyway, it's in a German file somewhere - Madeleine was murdered by CB so it must be a fact, innit.

What an injustice, if so.   Innit?


But seems the ECHR would accept it, if that is the case The ECHR Law MUST be sorted.


Surely Germany doesn't have the same arcane laws as Portugal ? 
If it has, German Law needs sorting too.

Portugal and Germany, along with the rest of Europe, use the civil law system. The UK uses common law, which is not as widespread as civil law.

Maybe its the UK that's out of step with much of the world. Wouldn't be the first time.

It's probably more accurate to describe it as English law, where it was historically developed, although it came to dominate in the other UK countries too.

We’re 15th out of nearly 200 countries in the Rule of Law index, twelve places higher that Portugal, so not that much out of step with the rest of the world actually.

Sorry G. You're only allowed to speak to me when accompanied by a male chaperone.

I remember when daughters in European families were only allowed out in the evenings if a male relative accompanied them.

I am beginning to wonder if either of you should be allowed out on your own.  Let alone let loose on The Internet.

I’m always surprised by the far right’s antipathy to Muslims and Shariah Law when basically they have so many things in common.
