Scotland Yard given permission to question 8 key suspects.

[faithlilly]

I'm rather confused.

Unless SY and the PJ are now conducting a joint investigation what is the point of SY, albeit through the PJ, questioning anyone ?

I only hope all the arguidos take Kate's lead and refuse to answer any of the questions put to them.

Indeed.

I'm sure the mccanns supporters will agree on that.

That's their right, but I find that statement interesting.

Your implication being that even if they are guilty, you hope they don't further incriminate themselves...

What a mindset.

I guess if they do answer all the questions it will mean they are innocent.  I don't know why we even bother with trials when this is seemingly such an important signifier of innocence or guilt.

Are you fond of the word 'Manichaean' 'gadfly' ?

Now that rings a bell.

Or if they are innocent that they don't give the police any information which they can twist to make them look guilty.

Isn't that what Kate did ?

Context my dear.

Context.

Mother accused of killing own child in foreign country = anger/aversion to pressure being placed on her by PJ

or...

Non-family member accused of abducting Madeleine = ???

What has it got to do with context flower ?

[stephen25000]

Meanwhile, will the new 'argudos' write a book shortly after their questioning , then express their opinion of certain police the way kate mccann did ?

 

[Gadfly]

What has it got to do with context flower ?

People act in the context of the situation they are in...

If you take that behaviour out of its context, a person's becomes warped.

In England, our young people study that in A-level history so they don't go through the rest of their lives making silly comments, and getting rolled eyes from people who could promote them...

I have no idea what will come of interviewing what are obviously key witnesses. 

I have no idea if any of the arguidos will be able to provide answers about what happened to Madeleine.

This is the closest her family have been to finding out what might have happened to her since she disappeared on the 3rd May 2007. 

The comments from some who decry this progress have been nothing short of disgraceful and certainly shows them in their true light.

Why don’t you keep an eye on current events as they unfold, it could be a long road yet, but the PJ and the Met will walk every inch of it. 

If the arguidos exercise their legal right to silence … and I think they may well do so … there is a singular difference between them and the Drs McCann. 

It is my understanding that the Drs were constituted arguido a few days before a change in the law which would have required evidence to do so. 

That law is in force now.  The PJ are making them arguidos … what does that tell you?

Persons of interest who don't have to answer questions.

Now where have we heard that before ?

If we are to believe what has been written the arguidos are suspected burglars. Perhaps that has more to do with them being made arguido than any part they are suspected of playing in Madeleine's disappearance.

Why is it important to you that the people who will be interviewed by the PJ in relation to Madeleine McCann's disappearance should be as a result of their activities as burglars and nothing at all to do with Madeleine?

You are insulting those who are conducting a highly efficient criminal investigation, imo, and you are at risk of making yourself look rather foolish by doing so.

Because she and the other doubters are clinging to the bizarre belief that the Met think these burglars might have seen the McCanns acting suspiciously on the night in question, laughable I know!
