Which is pure speculation from you too. 

Do you believe that evidence of the continuing investigation is presented when extra funding is asked for or that money is given to the investigation without any requirement to present evidence of any progress being made?

[Mr Gray]

Which is pure speculation from you too. 

It is.   ...but I thought you didn't do speculation and claim to be open minded...but your post is typical sceptic rhetoric..so it tells us something

There is certainly more evidence for it than your puerile notion that the investigation into Madeleine's disappearance has degenerated into some macho face saving exercise of "admitting defeat".

Today's Judicial Police haven't thrown in the towel as yet.

Scotland Yard haven't either despite the constraints placed upon them for justifying each round of funding to the politicians whose budget is financing the search for Madeleine and for Justice.

If the police are still working the case it strongly suggests they have intelligence and evidence which enables them to do so.

What a terrible shock for you. I'm so sorry.

Thank you.x

[Anthro]

You will miss them, Anthro.  Feisty wee dogs.
The best I can think of to say is at least you and the family are unscathed.

Thank you, Brietta.x

[Anthro]

Sorry to hear this.
Losing a pet is very  upsetting.x

Thank you, Erngath.x

[Anthro]

How upsetting, So sorry to hear this.

Thank you, Vertigo Swirl.x

[Anthro]

I just don't know what to say; how terrible for you all...and for the wee doggies.     We grow to love our animals, especially family dogs, in such a deep way ... and what a traumatic thing to happen to you all.  Do hope that you and the children are recovering as well as is possible.


Too many dangers and traumas around there.   
Please please be careful ... have been reading and puff adders can blend into the scenery almost seamlessly ... so many dangers around.    Please leave there and come home to somewhere safer


Thinking of you, Anthro, and sharing your families grief.

(((HUGS)))

Thank you for your words, dear Sadie.xx

Home Office explains why it's given another £300k to Madeleine McCann hunt


An application had been made by the Metropolitan Police Service for a further £300,000 to keep the investigation going until the end of March 2020.

Today the Home Office confirmed the investigation would get "similar" funding to last financial year, when it got £300,000.

With that sort of money SY could pay the reduced staff and have a healthy chunk left over to pay people on the ground for surveillance.

That's what I think they are doing.

[Brietta]

You mentioned surveillance,I'm asking why would an interview of a bar woman be linked to any surveillance operation?

Scotland Yard have said that they are not going to give a running commentary on the investigation into Madeleine's case and I don't think anyone has the temerity to ask anything of the Judicial Police.

That someone felt it necessary to go to the tabloids when there is so much at stake makes it I think a high price to pay for fifteen minutes of fame which gives people like me the license to ponder why the police looked under the bed of the girlfriend mentioned and why her non-hypothetical freezer was anecdotally checked out.

You don't know what's happening  - best wait to see if they do get more funding IMO.

So you don't know whether they have thrown the towel in or not - we have to wait and see.

Doesn't that apply to gunits post...and posts by other sceptics ...lol

Not at all - it depends on whether they get more funding quite possibly they won't.
