Maddie cops seek yet more cash

Operation Grange
On 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.

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 Grange
J 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.

Those are the barely printable parts of a letter to be found in its libellous entirety still hosted on various hate sites illustrating just exactly what Operation Grange was and is up against

I always thought that Ret Sym is very clever and ultra religeous and thought of himself as Jesus C.

Am I wrong?



Did you write it Myster?

I'm not a policeman and never have been, Sadie...or even the risen Christ!  I'm more of a humanist these days, and the first time I've seen that godawful letter.

What on earth? The name of JC is very easy to find, and it has nothing to do with religion.

The desperation is almost palpable to do everything possible to throw a spanner into the workings of any initiative on behalf of finding out what happened to Madeleine McCann.  One petition on top of another!  One tiresome FOI request after another.  It really is quite unbelievable the lengths some will go to in their efforts to disadvantage Madeleine McCann.

It is way beyond time that people who do this with their time take a step back and have a good look at themselves.

Absolutely risible that their petition gleaned a miserable 3,111 over six months.

It's nice to see you supporting the MPS so determindly. They need all the support they can get at the moment after all.

Are you more of a Defund Da Police kinda gal then?

Oh, the Met Police = a red herring.   The case is full of them

Just an off putter imo

It is quite disappointing that you are unable to make a sensible on topic reply regarding the irrefutable campaigns directed towards the McCann family and the unrelenting campaigns against the funding of the body tasked with investigating Madeleine McCann's disappearance.

If you wish to discuss police corruption in general I am sure there must be somewhere on the forum where you can open the topic if it affects you to any extent.

In the interim allow me to remind you that you are posting on the McCann board and the present topic on this thread on which you are posting is "Maddie cops seek yet more cash".

There are different viewpoints in case you hadn't noticed. There are those who still hope that Operation Grange can achieve something after 12 years and those who have always suspected that their investigation was flawed from the beginning.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Never heard of that.

Blimey, where have you been for the last few years?

[Vertigo Swirl]

There are different viewpoints in case you hadn't noticed. There are those who still hope that Operation Grange can achieve something after 12 years and those who have always suspected that their investigation was flawed from the beginning.

And all because on one word in the short remit statement.   Again, focusing on one small detail and ignoring anything that doesn’t sit with the agenda = propaganda.

It was up to the PJ to investigate the McCanns  and they found no real evidence to implicate the parents

[Mr Gray]

What you and others can't accept is that all the evidence you think implicates the parents does not stand up to scrutiny
