“A Laughable Story”

[Erngath]

The PJ didn't find them convincing in the first investigation and haven't given a lot away since, apart from a couple of very careful and considered interviews in 2017. The UK police have been instructed what to investigate.

So you do believe that they are being protected by this instruction?

[Mr Gray]

Who instructed the UK police... It's about time gunit started supplying cites for her unsubstantiated claims

[Erngath]

It's certainly a strong statement to make that the police"  were instructed what to investigate"

[Mr Gray]

I dont see its true...gunit is making a habit of posting unsubstantiated calims

[G-Unit]

Have you missed their remit and the words of Colin Sutton?

[Mr Gray]

Have you missed their remit and the words of Colin Sutton?

no...who wrote the remit...wasnt it the police.

Colin Suttons account never mentioned the mcCanns or abduction...read it again..sutton assumed it wa sthe Mccanns he wasnt supposed to look at..he wasnt told that..

So who instructed the UK police

[G-Unit]

no...who wrote the remit...wasnt it the police.

Colin Suttons account never mentioned the mcCanns or abduction...read it again..sutton assumed it wa sthe Mccanns he wasnt supposed to look at..he wasnt told that..

The person writing a remit isn't necessarily the person who decided what it is going to say.

[Mr Gray]

You claim someone instructed the UK police... You stated it as, a fact... So again.. Who was it... Or are you just making things up

[kizzy]

no...who wrote the remit...wasnt it the police.

Colin Suttons account never mentioned the mcCanns or abduction...read it again..sutton assumed it wa sthe Mccanns he wasnt supposed to look at..he wasnt told that..

So who instructed the UK police

Speaking to Martin Brunt on Sky News, he said he was warned he would be tasked with proving her parents Kate and Gerry were innocent and ignoring any alternatives theories

Speaking to Martin Brunt on Sky News, he said: 'I did receive a call from a very senior met police officer who knew me and said it wouldn’t be a good idea for me to head investigation on the basis that I wouldn’t be happy conducting an investigation being told where I could go and where I couldn’t go, the things I could investigate and the things I couldn’t.

Asked to clarify what he meant, he added: 'The Scotland Yard investigation was going to be very narrowly focused and that focus would be away from any suspicion of wrongdoing on the part of the McCanns or the tapas friends.'

The Tapas Nine refers to the McCann parents and the seven friends they were out to dinner with when Madeleine disappeared in 2007.

According  to Sutton on his blog... The senior source did not mention the McCanns.. That was an assumption made by Sutton

'Show me the bloggy'.

[Mr Gray]

'Show me the bloggy'.

However, before this, just a few days after the NotW story I did receive a call from a senior officer in the Met whom I knew quite well.  This officer told me I would do better to avoid the McCann investigation if it did happen, because "You wouldn't be happy leading an investigation where you were told what you could look at and what you could not".

That is the totality of the advice I received. It was made clear that this was an ‘unofficial’ call and that it was made in my interest – so that I might not end up taking on a task which would ultimately frustrate me.  As such I never pressed the caller for more information, nor will I ever be in a position to disclose who the officer was.

I was familiar enough with the reporting of the McCann case in the media to understand that there was a widespread reluctance to talk of any scenario which did not involve an abduction and in which no blame or complicity was to be attributed to the parents and their friends.  This struck me as odd but, in those days, quite frankly I was busy enough with he investigations I was involved in without undertaking any 'off the books' look at what had gone on in Praia de Luz.  I had assumed that there was good reason for this; that those who had been involved had satisfied themselves that was the case



"You wouldn't be happy leading an investigation where you were told what you could look at and what you could not".

That is the totality of the advice I received.



so the totality of the advice he received was....
"You wouldn't be happy leading an investigation where you were told what you could look at and what you could not".


Not a mention of the McCanns

[Mr Gray]

Of course if sutton had taken the Job he would have been told where he could and couldnt look...who he could and couldnt interview......he would be limited by ILORs and the portuguese police

So it bears out the premise that he was given the gypsies by a concerned party and gave it a swerve knowing that he wouldn't be able to investigate anything other than abduction - which is exactly the same thing.
Thanks for the link by the way.

You have it wrong too... His source never mentioned  abduction... In my experience  sceptics get a lot wrong
