New Petition by Tony Bennett demanding SY report on Op Grange.

[Mr Gray]

A petition has been launched by TB demanding information on the progress of OG. It will be interesting to see how much support this gets from the vast majority of the public who question the McCanns and think that Grange should be closed. At the moment it stands at 243

Order the Home Office to publish a report on the Madeleine McCann inquiry

Enquiries by British (and Portuguese) police forces have cost around £15 million in 8 years. The public is now entitled to a full report on how that has been spent. The report should cover the role of the government, the security services & UK police forces.

Madeleine was reported missing over 8 years ago. The Portuguese, Leicestershire, the Met & other police forces have spent huge amounts of time & money on the case, but there seems no prospect of further progress. Given the huge interest in the case, the public needs the fullest possible explanations and answers.

An interesting move but can't see the justification for it myself.  The police will do as they think fit regardless of Tony Bennett.

10,000 Votes to get it noticed by The Prime Minister.  100,000 Votes to get it debated in Parliament.
When is the Close Date, does anyone know?

However, you have to admire him for his optimism.

Over 300 now and six months to go .
I can scarcely contain my excitement. At least next year's salmon and trout seasons will have started by then.
I wonder what the mandatory response will be should it hit 10,000. "Dear Tone Thank you for your petition the contents of which has been noted"?. Mind you it would be a gasser if O.G were wound up before April 22nd. I wonder what happens in that eventuality?

Petitions like this will never achieve anything because they are idiotic and pathetic imo. I for one never agreed with Bennetts harassment tactics, wtf does he think he is?

Acting on the basis of sour grapes has never been seen as being very dignified.

I don't think SY can provide any answers which sort of renders this Petition a bit pointless.

I think he is just making a complete fool of himself.

Why on earth would the authorities risk compromising an active police investigation into a missing child as he proposes?

Must surely be an unheard of request as well as a decidedly odd thing to do particularly from a person professing a desire for "Justice for Madeleine".

[Eleanor]

And how much is this Full Report going to cost?  According to Mr Bennett who was the first to champion an Investigation, until The McCanns didn't get arrested, it is perfectly okay to waste money on things that he thinks are important, but not on things he doesn't agree with.  Lol.

[stephen25000]

It is all about his ego.

He will never learn

[Montclair]

SY and OG have no obligation to give any kind of information about the investigation to Tony Bennett or any member of the public. How does he expect the police to run any sort of investigation if they kept the public up to date as to what they were doing? I think that he missed an opportunity to keep quiet, but unfortunately, he has to always be in the limelight. A silly old fool.

[Eleanor]

He has always been trying desperately hard to get The McCanns into Court on some pretext or another.  So far he has failed miserably.  I am simply not sure where he thinks this will lead.  But I feel quite safe in betting that he won't get anywhere near the number of votes he requires.

Seconded.

That would appear to be the crux of it Brietta, why on earth having come so far and spent so much already would any police force want to give away any crucial leads or findings? 

Does Bennett not realise that his silly Petition could damage the search for the truth and not assist it?

But isn't that what he wants to do?  Mr. Bennett is going to look like a right nasty, pillock if The Abductor and or Madeleine are ever found.

And how much does he think this Review will cost?

I thought he was asking for a report rather than a review. This need be no more than Ms Wall standing up and giving a press conference.
 Not that it will happen as not enough people are sufficiently interested to sign his petition.
