Met chief vows no let-up in search for Madeleine.

[Alice Purjorick]

Actually we have no idea at all exactly what stage SY are at in the investigation because they aren’t going to tell us chapter and verse - nor should they. 

I find what Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe has said very encouraging indeed: “The investigation is still ongoing and we will not be reducing the team.” sounds very much to me that all options remain open and will be investigated.
Confirmation that no brick wall has been met here requiring a reduction in the team; remember, all of this has to be justified to the Home Secretary who is not going to throw good money after bad in the run up to an election.

I am delighted that he feels confident enough to go on record with the statement that “A reasonable amount of progress has been made.” 

The “blue quote” to which you refer, was emphasis of that part of the statement you missed out, whether that was because it does not fit your narrative is anyone’s guess; but it was an important omission.

Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe is merely stating the obvious - the lack of joint working is hampering the investigation - one can only hope it is an impediment which can be rectified sooner rather than later.

The solution to that problem is in his own hands: apply properly through Europol and Eurojust to have a JIT set up as laid down by EU protocols.

From what I have heard the Portuguese have refused a joint investgation

You really are stuck in the mud, aren't you.

What do you find unclear about the following................

'However, no trace of Madeleine has been found and police have no idea what happened to her.'

You can prevaricate 'til the end of time, and blame the PJ for not 'cooperating'.

Nothing has been found.

The questioning of the 'persons of interest' went nowhere.

Nothing was found on the 'chosen' dig sites.

What next I wonder ?

 
Are you under the impression that Hogan-Howe spoke those words Stephen?   If you read the actual article you will see that Hogan-Howe's comments are in 'speech marks'.   The sentence above in bold is a comment by the reporter who wrote the article.

Yesterday, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said: “The investigation is still ongoing and we will not be reducing the team.”

He praised Portuguese authorities for allowing Yard detectives to take part in the summer search.

“A reasonable amount of progress has been made,” he added.

However, no trace of Madeleine has been found and police have no idea what happened to her.

End quote.

You're getting desperate benice.

Wow speech marks, quotation marks. Now there's a novel concept.

Meanwhile the investigation is going nowhere, and if Hogan-Howe disputes  what the article says...................

He knows what to do, doesn't he.

...and here's a little peach as regards Hogan-Howe.

'  As Chief Constable of Merseyside police in June 2007, Hogan-Howe led a sponsored balloon release. "...all money will go to the Madeleine appeal fund".

Small world...

So he is entirely neutral in his view of the case................. &%&£(+ &%&£(+ &%&£(+

So as an experienced policeman he was happy to be involved with the mccanns and didn't consider them potential suspects in a crime

They have made some progress, they traced Innocent Man from the night creche records & they found an old sofa with some hair on it.

Money well spent.
