Latest theory lands on Portuguese AG's desk

[Carana]

That was days ago wasn't it, and she reposted the article with the libellous inference removed.  I think it's fairly safe to say that the "big" paper had second thoughts...

If one compares the two versions, there's more than a libellous comment removed...

And if the Portuguese authorities don't respond positively to this latest theory, then what will the research group infer from this, I wonder?  That the Portuguese are somehow complicit in a cover up, or being bullied by the UK, or simply incompetent, but never, never that they (the internet sleuths) are barking up the wrong tree, I'll bet.

Does anyone really care ?.
In most cop shops dossier toting civilians are usually preceded by the customary "RRR RRR RRR  Nutter Alert !" before some poor unsuspecting occifer draws the short straw then goes to deal with said dossier toting civilian.

Will it matter what they infer? It's not as if they are relevant to the investigation.
Like us, they are mere observers.

At the same time, they have no problem highlighting articles about taxpayers' money being wasted.

Oh, well, at least Natasha presumably earned something from the "scoop".

Care?  No.  Curious about the way these people's minds work?  A bit.  It was a rhetorical question anyway but thanks for your reply.

31 pages of discussion in, and we've reached a logical conclusion, may as well delete this, and all other threads on the subject of Madeleine's disappearance then!

Well for all the good it does we might as well. However, people do so love to exercise their egos so I suppose we must continue the game.

That one is a two edged sword with folk on both "sides" wasting tax payers money on frivolous and vexatious FOIA enquiries. They all should be "done" for wasting police time.

The same way as those who make FOIA applications about how many times a dawg has been deployed and what it trained on; IMNSHO

Rules of the game?

Rules of the game?

Should be a bit like 'Just a Minute' and played without repetition or deviation , but that would exclude a couple of the major contestants

No objections to that.

No one is compelling you to stay on the forum, or are you one of those with an ego to exercise too?

Could be, but I'm mainly here for the entertainment value and I can certainly say I get my money's worth.
