What a surprise, TK keeping Maddie in the news. Why does she never interview her pals on this annual funding circus?

Just remember who was behind the set up of operation Grange, hacking suspect and story seller Rebekah Brooks. This was a great big red flag for me, right from the start. Why would someone like her demand the set up of such a review, other than to profit from it. If the government didn't do as she requested, she would print a week of bad headlines about Theresa May.

Kate and Gerry McCann were tonight "incredibly grateful", a family spokesman Clarence Mitchell said tonight.

The Operation Grange team have been granted an as yet undisclosed sum to keep the seven-year inquiry going for the next six months until the end of September.
The current funding of £154,000 for the Maddie inquiry runs out in just five days.

Yes, how many final lines of enquiry are there going to be? If they're going to solve the case they need to start following the official line of enquiry. , I forgot, they're not permitted to follow that line, the one that all the evidence points too.
What exactly are they doing then? Knowingly putting themselves on a wild goose chase that they know will achieve no results, or are they just there for media purposes but actually doing nothing?

@simon cockerham Actually, the law does not specify an age when a child can be left at home alone. In this country, anyway. It is an offence if leaving the child at home alone "puts him or her at risk". Which I suppose is up for debate.

The public are being drip fed - it's like Chinese torture. Drip ... drip ... drip ... drip ...
What's more, the cost (?) so far has been stuck on £11 million for years. In fact it's gone down a bit, it was £12 million +.

[size=36]Madeleine McCann cops get more cash to search for missing British girl[/size]
By Mark Saunokonoko
9:20am Mar 27, 2018
The London Metropolitan Police have been given another tranche of public money to keep alive the 11-year hunt for missing British girl Madeleine McCann.
Madeleine, then aged three, mysteriously vanished while on holiday with her family in Portugal and has never been found – despite massive investigations by British and Portuguese police.
Around $275,000 has today been given to Operation Grange detectives to chase up an "important final line of inquiry", according to reports in British media.
The new injection of funds will keep Operation Grange running for another six months; it roughly covers the half-yearly salaries of four detectives and a small number of incidental costs.
Operation Grange detectives have refused to say what the "final line of enquiry" is.
Since being launched in 2011, and receiving more than $21m from the UK government, Operation Grange detectives have not confirmed whether they have questioned Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann.
It is believed the members of the Tapas 7, a group of friends who were on holiday with the McCanns in Praia da Luz when Maddie vanished, have also never been interviewed by London Met police officers.
Madeleine was first reported missing on the night of May 3, 2007, after she was allegedly left alone in the family apartment with her younger twin brother and sister while the McCanns were dining with friends at a nearby Tapas bar
Kate and Gerry McCann have always claimed their daughter was abducted by a stranger, probably by a child sex predator in a planned attack.
They have steadfastly denied any wrongdoing in the disappearance of their daughter.

Re: Madeleine McCann hunt set to continue as Met Police handed MORE funds to track down missing girl
£150,000 for 6 months is peanuts as far as Police expenditure goes.
It's just ticking over money.
There is no serious investigation still being carried on.

Re: Madeleine McCann hunt set to continue as Met Police handed MORE funds to track down missing girl
What are the OG team doing all day ??? Reading magazines and staring out of windows? A classic case of how public expenditure , once started, just rolls on and on.
If we really thought they were trying to solve the case, re-interviewing the obvious suspects, re-examining the crèche records, speaking to Goncalo Amaral about his conclusions, interviewing the rest of the Tapas group, looking at weather records, re-examining the photos, speaking to Peter Hyatt etc then no-one would begrudge them spending the money. But to this point it is so little return for all the expenditure incurred, and no evidence that they are looking in the right places.

As a further thought, if it was my job to approve this expenditure then I would tell the McCanns that not another penny would be spent until Kate had returned to Portugal to answer the 48 questions she refused to answer 10 years ago.

Re: Madeleine McCann hunt set to continue as Met Police handed MORE funds to track down missing girl
I think the misconception amongst some is that there is a DEDICATED team to OG and thus 150k won’t go far.
I believe they review the case/relevant information as & when......and that’s if they do anything at all.
It’s a sham

This is a tricky area, but a rule of thumb is, when stating numbers under ten, they are usually written in words, but all numbers over 10 are written as 11, 12 etc. However, there's no right or wrong.Verdi wrote:Madeleine McCann investigation to be drastically scaled back, Scotland Yard says

Don't think I've ever heard that rule of thumb before, I was however just being facetious.
The point of linking to the article is a reminder that Operation Grange was drastically scaled back in October 2015.

Don't think I've ever heard that rule of thumb before, I was however just being facetious.
The point of linking to the article is a reminder that Operation Grange was drastically scaled back in October 2015.
It must have felt like the Painters on the Firth of fourth, Operation Grange Remit,Abduction,with the Red Lead Paint,but then Scientists made a paint that did not require to be re-applied Annually,was that a job or Pennance?
