It's interesting to see how much time and effort some people devote to analysing and criticising my posts and myself. A lot of effort goes into trying to discredit me and everything I post, it seems. In my opinion it hasn't and doesn't work so it's a complete waste of their time.
The Special Grant funding of Operation Grange has been descibed as 'going cap in hand' to the Home Office, but I don't think that's quite how it works. Firstly, it was the MPS who made it a condition of their involvement that they would get this funding and not have to use their own budget. Secondly, OG can spend money and claim it back at the end of the year if they wish. Thirdly, it's the MPS/OG who decide if the investigation continues or not, not the Home Office.
My second and third points can be found on the Home Office's news blog, added in 2019;

Operation GrangeOn 12 May 2011 the Met announced that, at the request of the Home Secretary, it had agreed to bring its particular expertise to the Madeleine McCann case.
The then Commissioner, Sir Paul Stephenson, considered the request and took the decision that on balance it was the right thing to do. This was subject to funding being made available by the Home Office, as this case is beyond the Met’s jurisdiction.
https://www.met.police.uk/notices/met/operation-grange/You may not know that Operation Grange has been subject to ill informed attack since its inception. My opinion is that the chief constable of the time thought he was eliminating one obvious cause for complaint with his funding solution.
How very wrong he was in making that assumption.
An Open Letter to Operation GrangeJ C, former Met Police
I wish to register a formal complaint in regard to Operation Grange , the so called Met Police search for Madeleine McCann.
I do so on the following grounds.
*** Follows comments of sheer ignorance and outrageous slurs ***
I presume during the 5 years of its existence Grange was aware of these matters , yet has acted as if none of this ever happened.
4/ Grange has wasted huge amounts of public money and police time chasing shadows in Portugal which its legal advisors must surely have told them were not viable lines of enquiry. In other words it has done a lot of work and spent a lot of money for the sake of doing it , no other credible reason.
The conclusions here are blatantly obvious.
Operation Grange is a whitewash - a vast PR exercise to promote an abduction scenario that not one shred of evidence exists to support ever even happened.
The implications are equally obvious .
A/ It obstructs the real police investigation going on in Portugal
B/ It potentially supports a criminal fraud of huge proportions the McCanns ongoing business.
C/ It undermines the entire credibility of the whole Metropolitan Police Service ( as if it needed any further help)
D/ It threatens the credibility of the entire UK criminal justice system.
In summary Grange is simply corrupt , it has misappropriated huge amounts of public money , it potentially lets child murderers walk free, it is beyond a disgrace, it is worthy of extensive investigation in itself , that day can't come soon enough.
