Do the McCanns have the same support eight years on?

because although the nature of the crime is unknown certain scenarios have been ruled out

That is illogical.

Which scenarios and how?

[Mr Gray]

Which scenarios and how?

Those involving the parents
How... Ask SY

Ms. Wall has been notable for her silence.

Could it simply be that she has nuffin to say?

Well, as the saying goes, 'walls have ears' - no mention of a mouth.

Maybe she subscribes to the theory that God gave her two ears, two eyes but one mouth for a good reason?

That does seem quite logical as nothing of any consequence appears to have been found.

Nice one! Empty vessels make the most sound also.

if there was a gold medal for straw clutching you could represent GB

I would say that those who repeat what someone said years ago is doing the straw clutching, not me.

I don't believe anything actually. I don't believe what the Police say, I don't believe what the media say, I don't believe what anyone says. Sometimes it's what people don't say that is the most interesting.

One of the reasons why the level of support for the McCanns has strengthened over the last 8 years (at least among discerning observers of events) is precisely because discerning observers have studied the files, and deduced what manifest iniquities have been visited against the McCanns by the dogs don't lie idiots and various other rag-tag misfits who denigrate and traduce the McCanns with scandalous misconceptions and prejudices ....

What planet are you living on ?

Support for the mccanns has manifestly decreased.

The question of the current support for the parents of Madeleine McCann was touched upon on another thread. 

It was suggested that the Madeleine facebook page could be used as an indicator, however, it was pointed out that that particular social media site can be easily censored.

Others have pointed to the now defunct Madeleine twitter account as an indicator since it had to be closed down because of detractors and critics.

What is the current level of support?  Can a measure of such ever be properly stated or as some have pointed out, is it all mere speculation?

Your views please.

Among discerning observers of events, support for the McCanns is as strong as ever it was.

The casual observer probably has remained unaffected by shenanigans of scurrilous bloggers, tweeters and whatever else, remain convinced of the truth (that Madeleine was abducted) and continue to entertain hope that the crime will be solved (ideally, with Madeleine being found alive and well, or failing that, that culprit(s) will be brought to book and the McCanns will have closure of, at least, knowing what happened).
