I believe Clarence Mitchell came up with this stupid notion on one of the 10th anniversary specials. Shortly before he claimed the PIs were acting legally, then technically illegally, then claiming that this was one of obstacles to the McCanns investigation. Quite farcical.
You so often post the most clearly misunderstood opinions gained from snatching at entirely the wrong end of the stick on just about everything.
Your predilection for rubbishing the efforts past and present of anyone attempting to further Madeleine's case either by means of the media or by the means of using private detectives at a time when absolutely no one in either in British or Portuguese officialdom was the least bit bothered is palpable.
But possibly nothing ... absolutely nothing ... illustrates your total ignorance than your opinion on the national trauma suffered in Scotland as a result of the Dunblane massacre.
A quick read of the situation regarding the gun laws of the US and Britain should clarify matters a little just as contemplation of the speed with which it is sometimes necessary for schools to have lock down procedures in place such as when Lee Rigby was murdered nearby.
The teachers still teach. The pupils still study in probable ignorance of all the efforts which are in place for their security.
I think there may be more security measures and surveillance of the children while on Portuguese school premises than you may be aware of and if there isn't perhaps there should be.
SnipThanks to North and other campaigning parents, each of the handguns Hamilton used is now illegal to possess in Britain. The Gun Control Network, of which North was a founding member, was a crucial voice in the fight to stop more children dying in gun massacres.

After Dunblane, a ban in Britain was mooted almost immediately.

"I just do not understand the logic of arming teachers," a baffled North told Morgan. "The idea that because the problem is guns, the answer is more guns, is ridiculous."
