The cost of the 'Investigation' (Scotland Yard/Met)

Just as a matter of interest to us UK taxpayers I'm not sure the latest figures for the Maddie investigation that we all know is a work of fiction maybe £10 mill ?
Anyway just to get this into perspective latest figures suggest it has cost the Met/SY about £6 mill for a bunch of coppers to stand guard outside the Ecuador embassy to keep Assange holed up in there.
No doubt a lot of coppers on overtime round the clock.
I could build them a big fence cheaper than that and just let them in and out the front door.

Half a chance he's already legged it through the sewers anyway so theres a pretty good chance its all a bit of a show.

If he's still in there its about time some deal was struck to get him out to face his accusers but thats another story.

I wouldn't mind this money being spent if we knew 100% it was a genuine investigation and the REAL culprits would be brought to book at the end of it!! But, proving THAT is whole different ball game!

God bless the internet, otherwise we smelly unwashed plebs would be still believing in tooth fairies and politicians and the media always told the truth...

So true, ms. Before this case I wouldn't have believed half of what we know now goes on!
