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

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.

I don't understand what you are getting at sorry.

It's really easy.

Look up the stats for the percentage of recorded crimes solved.

The MET claim that 95% of murders are solved, I was watching a true crime series earlier in the year involving them,it was said that they normally have a suspect with in 48hrs after that it became harder to solve.
Haven't a cite for the tv prog but heres one for some figures.

Even if I knew the figures exactly it would not answer the question.

The percentage for resolving an alleged abduction abroad remains a big fat zero.

Most people would admit their share of responsibility.

They already have IMO - when they put a huge amount of money, which they could have put into their own private bank accounts, into the fund instead.

 i.e

Their compensation for being libelled in the press.
Kate's earnings from her book.

A book which would never have been written, but for what they failed to do in keeping their daughter safe.

If you think anyone should make money from this case Rob, I am surprised.

What has that got to do with the fact that the book was written and the proceeds went into the fund and not into Kate's own bank account.   Or that the libel compensation was also put into the fund? 

Do you apply the same criticism to the parents of other children who have been abducted and have subsequently written books about it  - or is it just the McCanns?

We do not know she was abducted.

...and NO, I do not approve of anyone making money in such circumstances.

Oh, by the way, how much of that 'money' was then used against Amaral ?

[Benice]

I have no idea.  You  tell me.

As far as I am concerned any money spent on trying to protect Madeleine's right to be searched for as a living missing person and not dismissed as a dead person is a perfectly acceptable use of the fund.

Can you then tell me how much of the fund has been spent on 'searching' ?

Still waiting for you to tell me... '' how much of that money was used against Amaral''

You ask questions Benice, but when do you answer mine ?

As to how much they used on Amaral, I am sure we will find out, along with Duarte's and her teams fees.

After all, we were told the funds accounts would be open and transparent.

The usual tit for tat response.   So no surprises there.

Your post has nothing to do with my opinion that the McCanns have already demonstrated their 'share of responsibility' by putting hundreds of thousands of pounds of their own money into the fund.   

IMO - your answer to that seems to be to post unassociated or unanswerable questions of your own in order to deflect discussion away from that fact.

Do you agree that the McCanns have made massive contributions of their own money to the fund or not?
