My daughter has just arrived from the Algarve, as she knows I am ANTI McCann so I have taken the liberty of showing her all the articles, videos etc etc in relation to Madeleine and she is TOTALLY shocked and states that most of what I am showing her has NEVER been seen in Portugal and Pat Brown wasnt even mentioned, she's never heard of the Smiths and never knew about the "review". She has however informed me that everytime Madeleines name is brought EVERYONE points the finger at the McCanns and that MOST people are no longer interested. She also beleive the case has had effect on tourism.

With regards to the subject at hand, nice to see the word disapearance and not ABDUCTION being used. I dont for one minute beleive Lord and Lady Kate are being informed on the progress, the Yard will tell them just what the "need to know" The Pink Ponce out in full force - two sinking ships to deal with .............................and that hair.

Happy Easter everyone - GOD Bless you all and especially little Maddie on this very special day - her beautiful flower in my garden is in full bloom.

She has been drained, wept and suffered.

My God, David Cameron has enough problems and yet he can find time to invite her Ladyship to Downing Street ? If he thinks this will win him Kudos he is very much mistaken .

I don't like the look of it either

I agree, comperedna. Imagine the stink around Rothley Towers if they had not been invited!

There will probably be loads of other people there. Of course, Pinkie tries to make it sound as though it is for their benefit only!

I fully expect the McCanns to be the only ones photographed as though all the others were merely wallpaper.

Yes Anna, that's the sad thing about it. It's like nobody else matters, they even had to hijack the vigil for Claudia Lawrence. They are shameless.

No special personal invite, but you'd think so if you believed this article.

Just like the Vatican - thousands and thousands of people went to see the Pope, but Mitchell pulled the strings and the undeserving pair got to elbow their way to the front with the UK ambassador.

Mind you, Her Indoors was already believing the Cloud Cuckoo Land spin, even at this point:
"Clarence spoke to us about a possible visit to the Vatican. Rome is already preparing itself."

I turned 64 last week, but I'd have to live many more decades before I came across crazier delusions of grandeur than that.
As Jim Moriarty said to Sherlock in The Reichenbach Fall:
"Honey, you should see me in a crown."

YARD: WE CAN SOLVE MADDIE MYSTERY

http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/313305/Yard-We-can-solve-Maddie-mystery
Scotland Yard detectives are confident they can solve Madeleine McCann’s disappearance

Sunday April 8,2012
By James Murray
SCOTLAND Yard detectives are confident they can solve the mystery of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance.
They are approaching the huge task of reviewing all known evidence with renewed vigour as the fifth anniversary of the three year old going missing approaches.
A source close to the investigation said: “They are working extremely hard to solve the case in the sense that they want to be able to say what they believe has happened to the child. Their attitude is that it is solvable and they are working to that end.
“The approach is very professional and all officers are committed to doing their very best to understand existing evidence while looking for new evidence. They want definitive answers and are working extremely hard to get to the truth. The investigation is gathering momentum.”
The so-called Maddie Squad is headed by Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood, one of the Yard’s most respected officers, who has 36 detectives and civilians under him.
She has been drained, wept and suffered. It has been a great mental strain on her
Kate’s mother Susan Healy
Portuguese police sources say he has established an “excellent” working relationship with counterparts in Portugal.
Senior investigator Helen Monteiro, who is in charge of the Portuguese team based in Porto, has made it clear her officers are available to pursue any leads the Yard comes up with.
Liaison officers are keeping Madeleine’s parents Kate and Gerry informed.
The couple, of Rothley, Leicestershire, have been inundated with requests for interviews to mark the May 3 anniversary but have said they do not wish to say or do anything which could possibly impinge on the Yard review at this stage.
The Sunday Express understands that Leicestershire Police, who have worked closely with Portuguese detectives, have form­ally handed over all their information on the case to the Yard. The files include video interviews and scores of witness statements. “Effectively the Met has now taken over the British side of the investigation,” said a source.

While the review gathers pace, Kate McCann has been busying herself by writing a short epilogue to a paperback version of her hardback book, Madeleine, which has sold 350,000 copies in the UK alone since its launch last year. Proceeds from sales continue to fund the search for Madeleine.
The paperback version will be released on May 10, seven days after the anniversary of her daughter’s disappearance in 2007 from a holiday apartment in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz. Kate will refer to the Scotland Yard probe in the new chapter but will not disclose any details of the investigation.
Last month she and Gerry flew to Sweden to promote the hardback version of the book in a drive to raise international awareness of the case.
In an interview with the Swedish magazine Sondag, Kate’s mother Susan Healy said: “Kate has never given up hope that Madeleine will return. She wants to learn the truth and I think it is so important that it comes out.
“It has been a lot of hard work for my daughter to write the book.
“She has been drained, wept and suffered. It has been a great mental strain on her.”
Mrs Healy lives in Liverpool but talks to her daughter every day and often goes to stay with the family in Rothley to offer support and help care for twins Sean and Amelie.
On May 23 Kate will attend a reception at Downing Street at which David Cameron will personally back International Missing Children’s Day on May 25.

This does give me hope. I wonder how this will impact upon the leveson enquiry when the mccanns get charged.

Hello Loopdaloop

When I was reading the article I had hope that Madeleine was about to get the justice she deserved. Until I read the last paragraph, where Kate is attending a reception at Downing Street, where David Cameron will be attending.

Why has David Cameron, invited Kate McCann to Downing St? He knows full well that she is an unconvicted criminal and to make matters worse, her husband insulted him, when he likenened Cameron's little boy's death, to Madeleine's disappearance.

I'm beginning to think that if the case does get reopened, the McCanns will not be returned to their arguido status. I feel the PJ will be instructed to look for the mythical abductor, knowing full well that the culprits of Madeleine's disappearance, are alive and well and living in "Rothley Towers"

What makes matters worse is, if I am right and I hope I am not, the people of Portugal, will have to fund this investigation, out of their taxes.
