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

[barrier]

The point you are making is?

Are you recommending the police cut out all policing duties to concentrate all personnel and resources exclusively on counter terrorism?

Or is it only money to investigate Madeleine McCann's disappearance which is of interest to you?

Does every post have to be making a point,I was highlighting how the fight against terror is stretching the recourses of the police up and down the length of the country,with a request having been made for continual funding into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann,it can be easily be surmised how it would  take some convincing of those who make the decision just where resources are to be channelled.

It does suggest that every policeman is needed, even those four sitting in a room looking for Madeleine McCann. They may be funded from a different pot, but they are trained police officers who could help to ease the strain.

We must also remember that this is not a British case. Portugal have their own investigation and whether or not SY get their funding I'm sure that will continue, until they feel there can be no more that can realistically be done.

It is a news item.

It doesn't mention Madeleine McCann.

You chose to post it on a thread entitled: Maddie case funding.  McCanns anxiously await news from Scotland Yard. Entirely without qualification ... making it an off topic post.

Which that post still is ... and if deleted cancels out all subsequent posts making reference to it ... please bear that in mind when choosing to post off topic posts on a clearly designated thread set up to discuss something else entirely.

There are always choices on policing and Home Office budgets ... there are always choices on health service budgets ... at least have the courage of your convictions to open discussion by stating your intent.

An off topic link to terrorism doesn't really cut the mustard.

Whilst the HO have been asked for funding to continue the search into the mystery of M McCann,its clear from the article that resource's are stretched,it will of course have some bearing into whether additional funding will be forthcoming imo.

Then it is my opinion that a post to that effect expressing your opinion is entirely satisfactory.

In my opinion it would be great if you continued to do that in preference to posting non connected off topic posts without comment attached.

It is basically a cite for the entire thread.

Looking at the country's debt it is not an event worth pursuing there will be no ROI on this lil jobbie-no sir!
I don't believe for one minute they are waiting anxiously because they are busy with other things like; ECHR and such.

Madeleine police ask for more funds.



Published 15-02-2018

Detectives investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann have applied for more funding for the search.

The Home Office confirmed that it is considering an application from the Metropolitan Police for more money to keep the probe, called Operation Grange, going.

A spokeswoman said: “The Home Office has provided funding to the Metropolitan Police for Operation Grange and the resources required are reviewed regularly, with careful consideration given before any new funding is allocated.”

Government funding for the investigation has been agreed every six months, with over €170,000 being granted from October last year until the end of March.

More than €12 million has been spent so far on the probe to find the missing girl, who vanished from the family’s holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal in May 2007, aged three.

Madeleine’s parents Kate and Gerry McCann, of Rothley, Leicestershire, have vowed never to give up hope of finding their daughter.

In 2011, the Met Police launched its own investigation into what had happened to the toddler.

If Scotland Yard were investigating all the criminality in this case their request for yet more funds could be justified but this is not what is happening.  Operation Grange is working on the basis of a very narrow brief which will never expose all the dirty dealings. It's time these matters were questioned imo.

Ooo-er, sounds interesting.

Care to elaborate Angelo?

Have Scotland Yard the authority to investigate these criminal activities if they are directly linked to the disappearance?

[sadie]

Absolutely

Have you contacted them yet Angelo?
