Yes I did.  It would seem homophobia played a large part in the shocking failures to join the dots.  I wonder if such police failings would ever be the subject of a similar docudrama in Portugal?  Perhps when the Madeleine case is finally solved such a drama series will be commissioned.

It seems to me that The Met operates on assumptions rather than on facts. Not only did they fail to follow the evidence in the Port case, they failed to see it.

Do you think the Germans are wrong too.  Why do you think the Grrmans are so convinced the McCanns are innocent

Is that the general rule then as far as you're concerned?  That they are completely and utterly useless in all cases?  Can we simply write the Met off as a credible force and in so doing draw the conclusion that they must be wrong in the mcCann case?

I think those who sing The Met's praises should face the fact that they aren't the shining example that they see them as.

You cannot state as  fact that the Met are not a shining example of a police force... Where's your evidence... Who are you comparing them to.  Once again you quote opinion as fact and show an ignorance of what constitutes evidence

Perhaps you can tell us who you are referring to by "those" in the sentence above?  Who here is "singing the Met's praises?"  Please give examples to illustrate your claim.  Thanks.

What gives you the right...with an obvious lack of knowledge to tell us how good the Met are.  Perhaps you could tell us how they rate in Europe ..the fact is... You haven't got a clue

To their credit the Met solved the abduction, rape and murder of Sarah Everard very promptly even though the perpetrator was one of their own but you won't see their detractors giving them any credit for that.

They have been consistently lauded as the 'professionals' but people need to face the facts; professionals can get it wrong as The Met seem to do regularly.

Whether you like it or not the Met ARE professionals and have received far more training and have had a lot more experience and access to far more information than you have.  So, given the choice between accepting your opinion or theirs I would choose theirs every time.

From what I have read they are regarded as one of the best police forces in the world... What proper evidence di you have of how they rate... Quoting individual case, s just shiws an ignorance of how evidence is collatecd and what constututes evidence
