Maddie cops seek yet more cash

[barrier]

Civis Britannicus sum.......has been the principle since Palmerston's speech in 1850

so also a British subject, in whatever land he may be, shall feel confident that the watchful eye and the strong arm of England, will protect him against injustice and wrong

Hasn't helped John Ward bring justice.Still we'll see,I've better things to do with my time than argue with you.

[Mr Gray]

On hold it seems.


Historical crimes – like the 2007 disappearance of Maddie McCann - will also be put on hold as police prioritise cases where there is a 'critical' need to investigate.

Have you not realised that each morning the editor has a meeting with his writers and asks which articles they can get a McCann quote into.

The 'search'has been a farce for many years now. Time to call it quits and spend the  money in the UK on ventilators for children with cystic fibrosis/cancers who are at very serious risk.  The family are not 'searching' even though they have  the money to do so.

There's more being spent on aid to China than on the mccann case..every penny paid to SY justified imo

Comparing pears to apples doesn't count. Foreign aid is a separate issue and not for this thread.

but you dont object to respirators,... all expenses have to be seen in context so i think it is for this thread

No it is not the same at all. I would explain, but it seems the low intellect you speak of is catching...

The UK and Portugal are both fully committed in solving this case so it will continue. They know who is involved IMO.

But  do they have enough evidence to bring closure?

If they don't have enough evidence they don't know who did it

GOOD MORNING MY MINIONS.

That's not quite the case; for example if someone confesses off the record and you don't have quite enough evidence to put to the CPS.
But great, thought provoking post.

Do we have some sort of psychic connection
I have an employee who stole a fair amount of money from me.. Several thousand pounds.
She confessed to me and agreed to pay it back. I have a taped phone call of her agreeing to pay it back. Multiple alterations to computer records to try and hide the theft.

CPS say not enough evidence

I imagine clandestine recording is a problem, or is that just in US cop shows?
A civil claim would be expensive and time consuming and probably wouldn't get your money back with any efficiency - i.e. 50p a week for 300 years.
What would The General do? The old General would wreak eternal vengeance. The new one would draw a line under it and move on. If the CPS won't go for it, then that money is effectively gone, so there's little point expending energy on it. (Yes, I did just talk about myself as a fictional pseudonym in the third person and dispensed wisdom that this fictional character would never have the faculties to impart).
