Petition for a public enquiry into the conduct of ALL Madeleine investigatons

[blonk]

If any of you here have signed the petition on the Prime Minister's website calling for a public enquiry into the conduct of the official and private investigations into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, then THANK YOU.

Today the petition has 1,283 signatures - and out of nearly 6,000 petitions on the Prime Minister's site, it now stands at the 188th most popular, not bad after just a month.

More details of the purpose of the petition can be found on the PM's webiste, here:

http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/69944 - and you can vote by clicking on the same link.

A list of 30 problems with the three British investigations - those of Leicestershire Police, Soctland Yard and the McCanns' failed private investiagtions - can be found in George Dunham's article, here:

The petition, like all others on the PM's site, will close on 30 March 2015, ahead of the General Election.

The more numbers we get on the petition, the greater the possibility of persuading the government to hold what should have happened years ago - a full public enquiry, with the power to summons witnesses, into the whole affair, including the active and unhelpful actions of various British government agencies.

The target is 10,000 signatures. If reached, this would trigger an official response by the Home Secretary

I fear there is little hunger for such a petition and in any event it would simply be the government launching an inquiry into its own actions.  Best let SY get on with it but unless they dig up half of Portugal I cannot see them getting anywhere anytime soon.

At the rate you've been adding signatures to your petition it will take you a further 545 days to reach 10,000, well after the closing date so it's highly unlikely you will be getting any sort of response from the Home Secretary.   Like I said, it will peter out at the 2000 mark, your failed petitions usually do.

Amaral's staunchest PT supporters gave up on him long ago.... Can't think why.

A bull in a china shop doesn't even cover it.

[Jean-Pierre]

What is a petition organised by members of TCMOMM doing on here in the first place.

Not that I mind - it is interesting to see that there seem to be dozen of socks in need of a darn.   *&*%£

Not a great response from members here so far - but thanks anyway to the 1,441 people who have signed it already and have kindly given up 2 minutes of their time to sign it - every signature indicates a person who believes that the conduct of the official and private investigations must be independently investigated.

@ John The petitioner - Helen Williamson - does not seek for the government to investigate itself, as you put it. She seeks a full independent public enquiry under a judge with the power to summon witnesses to give evidence on oath. I would add that your view that we should 'leave it all to Operation Grange' is looking more and more unsustainable with every day that passes.

NOTE: Someone wrote up the thread 'Why do we have petitions being promoted on TCMOMM here anyway?'

This is a strange comment given that TCMOMM has by far the highest readership of any Madeleine forum on the net, and is widely sought out for reference, analysis and discussion. The petition is all about justice and the truth about Madeleine   

[Alfred R Jones]

Not a great response full stop.

Sayin nothin.

Oh go on, you know you want to.  9 new signatures a day in the last 17 days is a considerable achievement I would say, even if it is just the same person signing over and over again

At this rate it will only take a further 954 days for Blonk to reach his target of 10,000 signatures.  Well done Blonk.

Just don't ask me where I go if I want a laugh.  Okay.

As far as I am concerned  truth and justice for Madeleine would be getting the Portuguese authorities to treat her case with a little more urgency to allow questioning of witnesses to occur sometime this century.
I can see no value in backward looking, vexatious petitions which are of little interest to the majority of people.

TCMOMM where only one viewpoint is allowed..

Oh s**t I agree with Brietta. Time to lie in a darkened room I fear 
Catch you rater arrigator.

I suspect that this is just an attempt to get The McCanns into a Witness Box
