McCanns demand Leicestershire Police open their Maddie files.

[stephen25000]

Er.....come again?  The PM has faith in the McCanns, so has instructed the Met not investigate the parents, and the Met have gone along with this but it's not about protecting the McCanns....? &%+((£

Wacky!

The PM has faith in the mccanns.

We have seen exactly what the PM has faith in, just  like the majority of politicians, it's called getting votes.

and like most , he will hang his head on any cause to do that.

Remember, 'hug a hoodie'.

and let's not forget Ms. Brooks, a close friend of Cameron, who also had a vested interest in the case.

[Alfred R Jones]

It was a review, not an investigation. No such 'instruction' would have been needed.

But you're telling me an order came from the PM to the Met to review the case but only as an abduction.  My question is - why?  Your response was - lawyers.  You're not making much sense tbh.

Is it your belief that Op Grange is all about the PM's future career prospects then? 

[G-Unit]

You've told us that the Met have been instructed to ONLY investigate an abduction but have been somewhat less forth-coming on who instructed them to do this and why.  Are there any other reasons you can think of which don't involve protecting the McCanns that might lead this shadowy "high-up" to issue this order to the Met?

Please don't misquote me. I didn't say that. Where did I say anyone had instructed them?  I simply pointed out what the remit says.

Hardly.

Just one link in the chain.

He' a populist, but you know that.

[Alfred R Jones]

The Met. were instructed what their remit was. They didn't rule out the parents, they weren't instructed to investigate them.

Bump....

[Alfred R Jones]

If this is all about gaining popularity how does that square with the "sceptic" belief that "most people" think the McCanns are a bit dodgy?

Quite true.

I'm glad you admit that.

Then unfortunately Cameron lives a rather sheltered life.

Would you like to see him on a zero hours contract ? 

After all his wonderful government have virtually doubled the National Debt within 5 years.

Oooh a little bit of politics there, just like Ben Elton used to do. 

[Alfred R Jones]

So, where are we now?  David Cameron who leads a sheltered life and knows little or nothing about the ordinary working person in the UK (all or most of whom are McCann-sceptic) decides that a good way to curry favour with the electorate is to press the Met for a review of the McCann case, and instructs them to only look at it as an abduction, nothing more.  What he hadn't banked on was that this move would lose him the next election as the GBP mostly can't stand the McCanns and resent the amount of money spent on looking for Madeleine.  Also, he didn't bank on that Plebgate farrago which rather set his govt against the Met so lord only knows what tricks the Met have up their sleeve now - they might even have gone "off-remit" and are busily preparing a case against those horrid McCanns even as I type!

McCanns demand Leicestershire Police open their Maddie files.

Well off topic from where I am sitting with all this chat about The Met and all. No surprise there I guess 
Pure soap, tune in next week.

[G-Unit]

Bump....

Sorry! I should have said Operation Grange, not the Metropolitan Police as a whole.

[stephen25000]

Oooh a little bit of politics there, just like Ben Elton used to do. 

Oh yeah.

Back on topic...Anyone who is under suspicion of or is being investigated, by  a police force, are not privvy to FOI requests. It is quite clear from early on that Gerry wanted to 'control' everything.

LP gave a remarkable reason for withholding the information. I wonder if they asked today if they would be granted that information. I just wonder if they wanted to make sure they all sang from the same 'time line' and 'hymn sheet'

The disclosure order was changed to exclude law enforcement agencies, so it can't be used to ask for information from any police force. I think Leicestershire Police, The Attorney General and the Serious Organised Crimes Agency had a blue fit when the order was served, and were prepared to fight all the way in court before they would agree with it. Hence the backing down of Justice Hogg and the International Family law Group. The parents were given a token amount of 'trivial' information and sent packing.

The Serious Organised Crime Agency is the body telephoned by David Payne at 23.13 on 3rd May 2007. CEOP was a part of SOCA and was staffed by SOCA officers.
