Petition re Madeleine McCann on Prime Minister's website

[Alice Purjorick]

Why is Blonk promoting a petition on here if he doesn't wish to explain what the concerns actually are?

If the concerns aren't actually explained, anyone could sign up to a petition that the moon is made of blue cheese - and some quite probably do.

It's on the petition:
"Enquiries by British (and Portuguese) police forces have cost around £15 million in 8 years. The public is now entitled to a full report on how that has been spent. The report should cover the role of the government, the security services & UK police forces.
Madeleine was reported missing over 8 years ago. The Portuguese, Leicestershire, the Met & other police forces have spent huge amounts of time & money on the case, but there seems no prospect of further progress. Given the huge interest in the case, the public needs the fullest possible explanations and answers".

The bit I have highlighted seems to me to be gilding the lily somewhat.

How much public money is being wasted by the multple FOI of bLONK.....it would be a good FOI request

Personally, I'd like to see this topic & link to the petition removed from the forum. It is an insult to Madeleine & an insult to those who are working to solve this case.

I will leave it to the forum owner to decide who can join and post on the forum. As a member it's not my call. If I disagree with his decisions I can go elsewhere or start a forum of my own. Once someone is a member he or she is entitled to post and debate within the forum rules without being subjected to personal attacks (which are against the forum rules btw).

It is nothing of the sort.  It is a genuine search for answers which have as yet not been forthcoming from Scotland Yard.  As for being an insult to Maddie, try putting the blame where it deserves to be.  Who was it neglected their children and who refused to cooperate with a police investigation??

[Angelo222]

You don't believe in free speech then?

Yeah, I'm sure that would happen if Kate McCann signed up here.

She would have the same rights and obligations as any other member.

Certain people should not stamp their feet because they can't get what they want when they want. If the McCanns are guilty, as so many of you seem to desperately want, then I'm sure TB & all the sceptics will not be disappointed if the SY investigation is money well-spent. Just don't insult Madeleine along the way by trying to thwart the investigation.
It's a pity TB is not a advocate of his hero's assertions that justice works best in silence.

Hear, Hear.

It is vulgar tbh.

I agree with that wholeheartedly, Misty.  At this stage in the process I believe it to be a self indulgent distraction set up by those who evidence no concern for Madeleine McCann by the constant carping about money and Operation Grange.

[Admin]

Attacking and attempting to out other members of this forum is a serious breach of our rules regardless of who they may be or pretend to be.  No further warning will be given.

Precisely Angelo.

Well said.
