LOL, look at you with your inside track.

Not much LOL actually.  But there you go.  The World is full of idiots who think they know.

You mean you see nothing when you look in the mirror ?

Not even a pot or a kettle ?

Perhaps this will help the ill-informed conspiracists of the forum (though it’s likely to fall on blind eyes I realise…)

Main duties

A British consulate will:

register births and deaths;
handle child abduction cases;
issue passports, including in an emergency;
deal with forced marriages;
help Britons who are detained or imprisoned;
help Britons who have fallen ill;
help Britons who are the victims of crime;
inform British nationals of any risks posed by visiting a country.

While definitely within the job description of the British Consulate, dashing from Lisbon to Praia da Luz seems to be outside the duties of the British Ambassador.

Why would I want to do that?  The Pot and The Kettle are looking fine.  But I don't think they want to speak each other.

The Mirror? Ah well that's a fine thing.  I have one glorious mirror that makes me look as I think it should so I only ever look in that one.  Mirrors are funny things.  You get what you are looking for.  I can only hope that your mirror is kind to you.

And never support a Brit abroad.  Good heavens, why should he.  Dump any Brit in distress.

No, that's the function of the local Consul.

An Ambassador works at a much higher level.

It's like suggesting that Dame Cressida should personalty patrol the streets.

Oh right, so if a British national begs a British ambassador for assistance then he or she must respond “it’s not in my 6 point job description to meet with you face to face to offer assistance” right?

It was the weekend, perhaps he tied it in with a round of golf and some windsurfing on the Algarve.

Oh God, do try not to make me laugh.  British Ambassadors are definitely not there to support the British Passport Holders.  So what the Fock are they supposed to be doing?

You see what actually happened was Gerry phoned the amabassador when he was on his way back from the bin and said “Oi Buck, got myself in a bit of bother, you’d better get your sorry arse down to PdL pronto and help me and the missus  or I’ll spill the beans about you and the donkey and don’t forget I have photo evidence”.  And that’s the real reason why the ambassador dropped everything to help the McCanns.

Do you think he answers the phone at the Embassy? I don't. Therefore it's highly unlikely that anyone begged him for assistance. It was the job of the British Consul in the Algarve to assist the McCanns, and that's normally where the Ambassador's staff would have directed anyone pleading for help imo.

So what do you think is the real reason for his visit, eh?  Do give us the benefit of your insight.
