Without wanting to detract from your of topic postings can I ask what is the purpose of this petition?  An inquiry about an investigation seems rather bizarre imo ??

PETITION

To set up an independent public enquiry into the conduct of the various investigations into the reported disappearance of Madeleine McCann

Responsible department: Home Office

Despite seven years of investigation, Madeleine’s disappearance remains a mystery. There are numerous concerns about the conduct of Leicestershire Police, Scotland Yard & government officials who became involved in the case. There are also major concerns about the investigation by Madeleine's Fund, a private company regulated by the Department of Business. The combined efforts of these organisations have yielded no answers about what really happened to her, nor who was responsible for her disappearance, nor where she might be.

The Leicestershire Police and Scotland Yard investigations have cost around £10 million so far. Madeleine’s Fund also spent millions of pounds on private detectives, mostly coming from the generous British public. The Portuguese Police and police forces around the world have also spent millions on various investigations and following up claimed 'sightings' of Madeleine. We need an independent public enquiry with the power to summon relevant witnesses.

Don't you need 100,000 signatures before anyone takes your petition seriously?  My prediction for this petition like all your other petitions is that it will peter out at around the 2000 signature mark.

For once, we seem to agree.

For the life of me, I can't find why the answer to moans of millions spent on the investigation of a missing child is to spend umpteen millions on a public inquiry to investigate why the investigation has cost millions, when there doesn't appear to be a valid reason in the first place.

As it seems somewhat unlikely that Home Office will start culling non-eligible signatories (e.g. multiple socks and non-UK citizens or residents) until it reaches the 100,000 mark, it would seem to be intended as a new "subtle" form of harrassment.

Erm, yes. "If you collect 100,000 signatures, your e-petition could be debated in the House of Commons".

And I would think that the government has other more pressing matters to attend to in the immediate term than identifying sock-wearing centipedes for a pointless cause, although I could be wrong.

25000 trolls...sorry, members... on that awful....sorry, informative F/B group but only 1131 signatures on the e-petition.
Does that mean that every troll......has around 20 accounts on there?

Unless duplicates, socks and non-UK signatories are weeded out daily (which I doubt), I would expect that a proportion of even the 1131 aren't eligible.

Hey, that's 100 new signatures in 3 days, don't knock it!  Which means at this rate Bennett will get enough signatures for his petition in a little over 8 years time....

[Eleanor]

Gosh.  Whatever happened to this amazing attempt to get an expensive inquiry into an expensive investigation?  This has got to be worth more that two pages.

Hmm, perhaps my earlier estimate of 8 years was a little optimistic...

Very, I would say.
