Maddie case funding. McCanns anxiously await news from Scotland Yard.

[G-Unit]

Probably they don't "cough up" for the simple reason victims of crime and their families are not expected to "cough up" to pay for police investigation into the crime in this country.

Madeleine's parents and immediate family are "tax payers".

British Police forces don't normally investigate cases falling into the jurisdiction of other countries, to be fair.

According to the Tabloids, they have some 700 grand, so quite sufficient to fund proper detectives for a few years.

If Amaral agreed to drop his claim for compensation no doubt all the funds could go to OG.

Which claim for compensation would this be ? Cite please, as Brietta will insist.

How about this one ?

Thank you ... please remember to add cites when required.  There should also have been a caveat accompanying your opinion about £700,000 and the time and personnel that would employ.  Please remember that in future too.

You seem to have omitted they owe money in Portugal.

That won't disappear.

Besides, why shouldn't they pay for what they did wrong. Why should others pay for thrir failures ?

Why should any of us have to foot the bill for the shortcomings or wrongdoings of others? Answer - because we are human and not one of us is above reproach.
SY will no doubt get their funding if the end of the case is nigh.

Yes - but who takes responsibility for the actions of the unknown wrongdoers?

Most people would admit their share of responsibility.

Well how come there is so much unsolved crime?

I can't believe you have asked that question.

Do you have any idea of the percentage of reported crimes that are unsolved, not even crimes which are unreported ?

Who said anything about crime?

is it 50%?    Look my remark has to be read in conjunction with the preceding comment

I did.

Look up the stats Rob, for the UK or anywhere else.

In this country there are diminishing police resources. Try not to believe the blurb of the politicians who say otherwise.
