Wandering Off Topic

[The General]

You can hardly compare the McCann's white lie of bigging up Gerry's stomach upset because they were put in a situation where they  couldn't tell the truth at the time as they were forbidden to reveal anything concerning the Portuguese investigation,  if they did they would have been given a two year prison sentence.  To Amaral who committed perjury.

Oh great, that post went under the radar until you quoted it. Watch this space.
I can see both sides though, granted.

I suppose you think gerrys lie Re the stomach upset is no worse than... We believe Saddam Hussain has WMDs..
Everyone tells the odd white lie.. It's the consequence of the lie that signifies it's importance

I get it. It was an example of minor league hypocrisy. But I understand your point.

2017 is an interesting year in this case

That year, the number of sceptics, on forum, who toned down their viscious attacks on The Mccanns, or stopped posting was noticed. 

Had the Police accidentally, or deliberately, leaked ? 
Had  some news indicating that the PJ and OG knew who (a collective "Who" ) the perps were, escaped the silence from the Police Forces ? ...... the silence that the rest of us noticed ?   


Was it best policy for sceptics in the know, or ones that had abused The Mccanns, to cover their backs and to quietly slide away ?   Cos that is what I noticed.


Also as we saw on here in a recent post, 2017 was the year that Amaral started backing off.   Why then ?  ...  And his mate Flores, IIRC., didn't he back off a bit?

Two things of note in 2017,Rowley update and Pedro do Carmo telling Brunt,they don't know what happened and have to prepared for different scenario's,this in answer to a question"do you accept the girl was abducted"

Grange as it stands.

https://www.met.police.uk/notices/met/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.

Investigative review
The Met’s involvement, known as Operation Grange, is led by the Specialist Crime Command unit and involved, in the first instance, an ‘investigative review’.  This was a review of all of the investigations that had been previously conducted into the circumstances of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance.

Ongoing investigation
In July 2013 the status of the Met’s enquiries changed to that of an investigation, working with the Portuguese authorities to pursue specific lines of enquiry.

The Portuguese authorities retain the lead and the Met continues to work in support of them.

The Home Office continues to fund Operation Grange.

Of course PdC doesn't know if Maddie was abducted... But he was clear parents not suspects and no evidence against them... Woke and wandered is a possibility

Yes, if Maddie opened the window & shutters herself, or a burglar did it then ran away, or the McCanns lied about the open window/shutters.   Take your pick.

2017 was indeed interesting. It was the year that 'huge bids' were being made for interviews with the McCanns, but Scotland Yard seemed to put a stop to that idea. Slowly but surely the media stopped showering us with McCann stories thereafter also. Was that down to the police too?

I reckon that after a decade of nothing, people just got weary and lost interest.
A few died as no doubt will many more before any result is declared.

Those of us who are left have nothing better to do, otherwise we would be doing it - IMO, of course

True.
No illuminati intervention in '17 then?

[sadie]

Best. Post. Ever.

This is why I'm here, I see that now. Have I just been delivered my personal Damascene conversion? The truth will out. Sustaining longer than the enemy is the key. It's an attritional, intellectual battle now; the battlefield has shifted.
Those who know will fold and those who fold will fall.

Keep the faith, Sadie. Keep strong. May your god go with you.

Shalom.

Just to add to your ire.


The Supreme Court found in Amarals favour on Jan 31, 2017.  He was awarded £500,000. euros 500,000.  Soz my error, now amended


How come he hasn't yet picked up the lolly?
 
Has some news been leaked in 2017 from the Police Forces that shows that the case is solved, and that the decision of the Supreme Court was wrong ?   Because of this, has he decided to back off and also make his public announcement in 2017 that he has changed his mind about the Mccanns involvement ?


Only thoughts ....

Nah! Professor Langdon sorted them out.

Where in the judgement by the supreme court is that written.

are you suggesting he wasn’t awarded 500,000 euros?

[The General]

Does an award get suspended upon appeal?

Immaterial to my question.
