Met given 6 months and £2 million more to find Maddie. Is this the end?

[mercury]

I am afraid that I do not understand why you think that two law enforcement agencies pursuing a line of inquiry which is entirely opposed to the views of a few internet theorists is wishful thinking.
Particularly when one bears in mind that neither Madeleine McCann's parents or their friends are persons of interest.

However the important thing at the moment is confirmation of another year's funding.  Now if only we could make a dent in the amounts spent cleaning chewing gum off our streets the costs of looking for one of our children might achieve less comment.

sOrry, catching up. Obviously there is no price for a chlld's life, but there are things called budgets and police budgets and home office budgets and not forgetting time and manpower, and thousands of other police cases of murder and other serious crimes, if chewing gum removal has a higher budget, take it up with the appropriate person in government.

Fact remains you have no idea apart from a few newspaper stories whose accuracy always has to be questioned,  what SY or the PJ have been doing, what they are thnking, are doing or planning to do....in other words you are in no position to state that two law enforcement agencies are chasing after an assumed and prescribed scarlet pimpernel and nothng else....yes, it is wishful thinking, which, is OK, but not realistic

In your own inimitable MO you have added a shedful of things I have not said in a poor attempt at passing it off as something I have said, together with working in the customary insulting term.

You gave me to believe that you can draw no conclusions about anything at all or at least you refuse to express an opinion one way  or the other, which is what pretty much what I said isn't it?  It appears to me that you take comfort from this because it allows you to continue to believe that the Met might be investigating the McCanns, a belief which I believe to be quite deluded.  If I have misunderstood your position then I apologise and look forward to further clarification.

Well, if you want to believe an unsourced story in the Express feel free. Let me know when you have a direct quote, won't you.

The Brazilian couple were suspicious because someone said they were keen to have a child and the woman was driving past and she looked into the back of her car! The boat they were supposed to have 'fled' on didn't seem to exist.

If the boat was 'Tropico' it arrived in Albufeira on 9th May and stayed there until the end of 2008.

Well one thing is for sure they are not investigating the McCann's.

Well one thing is for sure they are not investigating the McCann's.

That certainly seems to be the view of the woman who presided over the libel trial, sic:

- The claimant Madeleine is missing from the day May 3, 2007, having run, in order to determine the criminal responsibility for her disappearance, a criminal investigation where the 1st and 2nd claimants came to be made arguidos (formal suspects) that ended up with an order of shelving.

- The archiving report concluded there was no evidence that the 1st and 2nd claimants practiced any crime.

Strange.

The determined efforts of several posters here to re-write what the archiving dispatch says seems to have bypassed the learned lady judge.

as those who control the budget have decided to award another 2 million to Grange then it is clear that they feel the investigation has reason to continue..that's good enough for me

And it would be a heck of a lot of money to allocate if the investigation was angling at banging up the McCanns or any of their friends ....

[Mr Gray]

I have heard someone is claiming Madeleine was hypnotised.

Is that claim for real ?

speaking as someone with experience in hypnotism I can confirm it's a non starter

So £2,000,000 for 30 letters.

From what did you draw that conclusion?
I believe the Met are investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann where that will finish up is anyone's guess. It should be forgotten that The Met do not have primacy unless it transpires a crime was committed in their jurisdiction.
It does not follow that because I am not a McCann sycophant, I believe they dunnit, to pinch your word.
However I doubt you will ever understand that the whole round world is not split into two on the topic McCann.

So are we then to assume from the above diatribe that you don't believe the McCanns dunnit, but that you're simply here to get your kicks from trying to wind up McCann 'sycophants"?
