Police urged to shelve Maddie hunt as cops needed in UK to battle terrorism.

[Miss Taken Identity]

Nothing to do with upcoming UK elections, of course...

Or food banks. homelessness... money better spent some say..

[Miss Taken Identity]

exactly Alf.....not a whimper of discontent re the fortune spent on Julian who as I understand has not been charged with anything yet

There are many whimpers about Assange..discussion forums and bloggs- the Government must be worried about what else he knows and can bring to the public domain.

The people are sad about Little Maddie, but they live on regardless. It only affects the parents to be honest, in terms of money being spent on her investigation.

Missing three year old Maddie McCan MISSING: Maddie was three when she disappeared from a holiday flat in Praia da Luz [PA]

Kate and Gerry McCann said they are incredibly grateful to every officer working to find Madeleine.

They insisted there is “still a job of work to be done” by the 31-strong Operation Grange team assigned solely to the case.

They spoke out after the London Metropolitan branch of the officers’ union the Police Federation called for the inquiry, which has already cost £10million, to be shelved.

Threat Chairman John Tully said the Met, which has made £600m cuts and faces another £800m by 2020, could no longer afford to take on “last resort” specialist cases others could not crack.

He said the 31 Operation Grange detectives could ease the workloads of colleagues investigating 14 unconnected murders in the capital since Christmas and battling the threat posed by Islamic State terrorists.

A friend of Kate, 47, and Gerry, 46, said: “It is up to the Met, the Prime Minister and the Home Office to decide the longevity of the investigation – not the Police Federation which has its own agenda.”

Madeleine, of Rothley, Leics, was three when she disappeared from a holiday flat in Praia da Luz, Portugal, on May 3, 2007.

so should we just give the money to some of them...yes that's best

No dave.

Operation Grange.

Initiated by Cameron, with the 'help' of Rebekah Brooks, and like so much of Cameron's initiatives, a waste of time and resources.

[stephen25000]

If the Met can find 6 million on keeping tabs on Julian Assange, then 10 million to solve a crime against a child seems reasonable.

Both organized by Cameron.

One at the bequest of Rekbekah Brooks.

The other on behalf of the Americans.

Enough said.

I have no problems with questions being asked re the investigation but Tully is  a labour supporting union man who will take every opportunity to criticise the present govt...and why are we at such risk of terrorism...because of the labour parties role in Iraq... I don't see this a a serious threat to the investigation

[Mr Gray]

Tully is using the McCann case to make a political point....

[stephen25000]

Tully is using the McCann case to make a political point....

Are you happy that crimes that could be solved, aren't because of the money diverted to this case ?

What price is high enough for you and the mccanns dave  ?

.......and not the McCanns, who have theirs.

I'm sure that the many relatives affected by the 14 unconnected murders in the capital so far this year are comforted by the knowledge that, although their investigations continue to be undermanned and under-resourced, the McCanns are doing just fine.

Obviously written by a "doubter" who does notbelieve the Met are in the process of building a case against the McCanns then!

'doubter'

What a pathetic term.

Let's face it, how dare anyone question the mccanns or their version of events,.

How  naughty is that.

Your comment nails you to the nessling school of thought.

I thought doubter was the preferred term, or should it be sceptic?  I do apologise!  So, for using the term "doubter" it means I believe Madeleine is the second coming does it?  Some weird logic you've got going there Stephen.

Couldn't agree more...Tully using maddie to make his point..disgraceful

What is blatantly obvious, is that you believe in the mccann cause to the exclusion of all else.

Just like nessling and co.

Unwavering and unquestioning, regardless of the FACT, the crime [if any] is yet to be determined.
