Yes of course they are , especially when the Met have ruled them out and not pulled them in for questioning , cos the " incompetent sardine munchers " did that didn't they , so no need for us to bother eh ? We'll just keep harping on about woman in purple , final lead ( no dogs attached of course !" ) , while the remaining cops sit in the broom cupboard with a packet of Hobnobs ( sorry couldn't resist !) and the coffee machine and the invisible silent DCI Wall plays sudoku waiting for a promotion or retirement . spin

It is not the Mets (or SY) responsibility to "pull them in for questioning" as the Portuguese have the primary role in this case.

The UK agencies long ago started the process of winding their own investigation down and it is only a matter of time before it will be quietly shelved altogether. The fact that the Portuguese still have the case open (and the McCanns as not innocent) is a thorn in their side.

As A/C Mark Rowley eloquently stated,he was there,"to Assist the McCann's",are these people Royalty,Landed gentry with different rules applicable or to be held above the "Common Laws" bestowed to millions of people,not suspects,alongside the Tapas Cohorts?

Is their something wrong with the "thought process" of our elected MP's,that these people can indefinitely state,"One final line of Inquiry",time and time again,without becoming a laughing stock to people from other Continents,"Cognitive Dissonance", the Ostrich Syndrome,I can't see,I'v got my head in the sand?
Your all involved in the cover Up and you know it,your only trying to kid yourself and you'll wake up in a wonderful Palace,called the Bridewell or we could bring back the stocks for special occasions?

No wonder the"Den of Inequity" is falling down with all of the states necessity to cover Up the Crimes form the past,all those Leathered seats holding the well packed pages of evidence,for their shiny arses to slide about on,by god a bit of parchment paper cut through my pants,ssh,send us the bill,put it on the expenses sheet?

Hi Polyenne,so its like a game of Chess,where neither side wants to lose face,you close first then we'll follow?

But what if Portugal publish their findings and come to the same conclusion as the first investigation,McCann's Not cleared/innocent of involvement in Madeleine's disappearance?

Then the UK sit on their evidence,Non disclosure,which is their right on a still live case?

Which would beg a further question, why have you left it open,but yo can't solve it or don't wish to solve it,because you already know what has happened and it doesn't fit in with your original Remit?

Your back to a Cover Up scenario?

[size=15]NO REQUEST MADE
[size=36]Madeleine McCann probe blow as Home Office DENIES police have requested more cash to hunt for missing girl as funding running out

The government said it's received no formal request for more funding in the search for Maddie, who disappeared on a family holiday to Portugal in 2007

THE search for Madeleine McCann has been dealt a huge blow after the Home Office denied cops have asked for more money to continue their investigation.
It will come as a bitter disappointment to parents Kate and Gerry McCann who have never given up hope that Maddie, who disappeared on a family holiday in Portugal in 2007, is still alive.

The Met Police said earlier this week it was 'in dialogue' with the Home Office over more funding to carry on the 11-year hunt - which has cost £11million to date.
But the Home Office today told The Sun Online no formal request has been made.[/size][/size]

A spokesman said: "To date no request has been received from the Metropolitan Police Service to extend funding for Operation Grange beyond the end of September 2018."
Time is running out as cash for the search is expected to dry up in just over a fortnight.

Despite a thorough search spanning several countries, there has been no significant clues as to what could have happened to Maddie.
Her parents Kate and Gerry have maintained their daughter is still alive and are now fighting for more funding as they fear the investigation could be shut down in the face of police cuts.
However, detectives believe they they can crack the case.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman told the Star: "The investigation continues and we are in dialogue with the Home Office over more funding."

At the time, the Home Office said it had yet received a formal request for further cash, but a bid would be “carefully considered”.
A source close to the family said the McCann's have "no idea" if the search will end or carry on.

They told MailOnline: "It is a daunting prospect they face once more."
"Kate and Gerry are grateful to the Metropolitan Police for everything they have done over the years and hope of course that the inquiry into their daughter's abduction will continue if more funds are requested and made available."It comes after it was revealed detectives involved in the case have been secretly visiting Portugal in the past year.

Five return flights were booked to the country, where the toddler from Leicestershire disappeared in 2007, Met Police documents revealed.

Officers have also poured through 40,000 documents filed by Portuguese officials who have been involved in the investigation.
Maddie was three when she disappeared from a holiday apartment in the Algarve region of Portugal while her parents dined with friends nearby.

She disappeared on the evening of May 3 from her bed in a holiday apartment in Rua Dr Agostinho da Silva, Praia da Luz, where she had been sleeping with her brother and sister.
She would have turned 15 on on May 12, 2018.

A number of potential leads have emerged since the little girl vanished, but none amounted to anything and no arrests have ever been made.
In 2010, Maddie’s distraught parents met with then-home secretary Theresa May to talk about the hunt for their daughter.
The following year, Scotland Yard launched its own review, named Operation Grange, into the case at the behest of the future PM.
