It is interesting to note that at exactly 2pm when the announcement was made on Sky News that they went to great pains to explain that the McCanns would not be making a statement that day.
In fact, have they made any statement since the news was revealed by SY?
No personal statement. We have a rather generic statement from their spokesman but that is all.
It is interesting though that when Kate wants to forgive the abductor of her daughter she can demand, and receive, front page coverage or when Gerry wants to bemoan his lot at the hands of the press we have wall to wall interviews with him, but when, you would imagine, an announcement that they have been longing for for six long years is broadcast, that SY are several steps closer to finding their daughter, not a dicky bird.
Kate has posted personal messages on the official campaign website from time to time, the most recent just this May, thanking people for their support in buying her book or while she was running the marathon so why no heartfelt message now thanking SY for all their hard work and the government for agreeing extra resources in order that the investigation continue ? Their Facebook webmaster ( who walks among us
) has also posted messages from time to time from Kate yet nothing so far on this momentous development.
To the casual observer John it would seem that either Kate and Gerry are a rather ungrateful pair of takers or they aren't exactly happy with the SY announcement.
