Is the British government protecting the McCanns and if so for what reason.

[Erngath]

Some believe that the investigation is limited to protect the McCanns.
 They are "off limits" and the investigation has been "designed to find diddly squat.
Do you believe this to be true and if so, why?

You have packed too many points into a single post to make it easy to answer.

The May 2017 10th anniversary specials scored as follows.  IMO of course.

CMTV's effort quickly fell by the wayside.  It was simple an on-site rehash of various Amaral theories.

BBC Panorama was the favourite, but it lost out a bit by being too confrontational.  There was a lot more to be gathered from a somewhat softer approach.

Sky won the race by just a nose.  It pointed out that the SY remit was flawed.  And AC Rowley seemed extremely uncomfortable about the McCanns involvement.

Without making any comment about what happened on that night. I think a lot of what has happened since is more about saving face for those who have supported them, in that they don't want any suggestion that that support was a mistake.

Nothing to do with any television programme .
Which do you believe?
Either they are being protected or not.

Saving face for whom?
The government?
Sheesh compared to the mistakes governments of either hue have made  can't believe they would bother too much about admitting this one.
