"When people take the piss"

Great find marxman

Imo things are coming along nicely.......

The CEO of that group, Rebecca Brooks, who herself has just been arrested for perverting the course of justice, blackmailed, there is no other word for it; blackmailed the Prime Minister of Great Britain into setting up this sham of a review.

Whats your next move going to be Dave??????????

Brilliant!

I don't agree that the Review is a sham at all. Redwood was between a rock and a hard place and I am confident that the details of what is being done, by whom and when will remain privileged and not discussed with either Healy, McCann or the great unwashed. PR is a necessary (?!) facet of modern life, but when one can't say anything, it can take an awful lot of words to achieve that!

And I certainly don't think Cameron (who, let's not forget, is Prime Minister and does not do or decide everything himself in isolation - there is a huge Civil Service, Police Authorities and all sorts of other bodies with an interest) would give in to "Blackmail".

Nevertheless, however the Review came into being, it is being conducted by a Police Service that is already having to account for itself and to atone for past inefficiencies, indiscretions and wrong-doings.

So have faith!

Thanks marxman....excellent , and the video on saving the Whale, scroll down, is great.

Cameron as i have said before is reactive, not proactive and now , to cover his embarassment about Rebekah has launched into a scathing attack of
the EU which he will no doubt continue at the G8. As a Member of the EU, he should have done this a long time ago because Britain is very vulnerable
but it's only to distance himself from RB. If. as expected the Review produces no evidence of Portugese ineptitude, how is he going to explain to every
one why it seemed like a good idea at the time to believe the McCanns.

Iv'e been out all day so will watch the highlights later on channel 5.

Back on topic now. Because the McCanns have walked on water for the last 5 years , it is hard to know what is going to change the situation. If all
SY can come up with is the 'you cannot be serious' sightings revealed so far David Cameron will get a lot of stick from his Party for wasting all this
money.

The past is the past. The current Review and the ongoing work in Portugal will get there, I have no doubt.

Do people really expect SY to make a running commentary of progress on substantive issues? That won't happen.



And Strauss has just got that elusive Century.

... both Panda and TEIN ... Hey ho... and on we go...

Hi comperedna.......you can say that again

I don't think I could stomach another Redwood prospective lead.....are we to expect another 192 of these possibles?????? If so, I will hibernate and
you can tell me when it's all over. Having said that the Press has not insulted our intelligence for the last few days

Totally agree TEIN, the 'joint' operation by both
the NSY and PJ can NOT support a lie.....'The
Truth of the Lie' as in GA's book title equates
to finding out what this monstrous lie is, how
many are involved and what will be the fall-out
and its effects on certain individuals.This will
take time and many unsavoury methods on the
way.
I tend to trust the cops, I may not understand
their methodology but I think that they will get
to the bottom of this. The whole world is watching.

And equally interesting is your new Avatar!

Yup..had to rid myself of that squirrel,
was doing my head in

There are very few cases i can think of where the 'cops' have actually managed to solve complex crimes.There are countless cases where the cops have messed up and become embroiled in incompetence and corruption.That is the reality as i see it.All the signs to date are that the SY 'review' into the mccann case fits into the later category.
The window of opportunity to solve this case was closed when the case was shelved.No way do cops actually solve cases so many years later when everything has become even murkier than before.

eta; Thats not to say that age old cases dont get solved but its not through dilligent and intelligent detective work wading through box after box of case files.Its usually when a body or witness turns up years later.
