I have great admiration and respect for this lady and truly hope she finds Ben. Her remarks re Cameron are spot on.

The Greeks are trying to get British police to provide 3D ground scanners capable of detecting human bones buried beneath rubble

Why are they not calling in the dogs. They can detect human remains decades after, interesting article here...

"According to the Daily Mirror, three main theories have emerged: firstly, that Ben wandered away and was caught under rubble as it was unloaded from a truck; that he was killed in an accident and buried in a shallow grave where the building waste would later be dumped; and lastly, that he was murdered and his body was hidden on the site".

No abduction here, then? If only the Needhams were doctors, and had had the backing of money people, maybe, just maybe, they could have made millions from an "abduction" theory, too.

And to think our justice system is nothing but a corrupt, scamming machine! Where do we go for justice? It's enough to scare the life out of decent British people.

Richard Madeley and the woman who played Sonia in Eastenders were on the couch today on a morning telly programme talking about the headlines in the papers. The missing children article was discussed...Richard Madeley said something along the lines of 'a botched job' re Madeleine and Ben's cases re the police in foreign countries - talked a bit about Ben Needham and then he and the others on the sofa went onto discuss 'what would you do if you spotted Madeleine' - Madeley even said about she could have been 8 or 9 and might have a fleck in her eye. One of them (can't remember which) said they would immediately take a photo of the child on a mobile phone - then it was discussed, harrumphed that it isn't appropriate to do that. Phillip Schofield was classic in his reply.

I'm really sorry I can't remember what morning programme this was. I had the telly on and was in the kitchen, heard the topic and nipped out to listen to it. It was too late to record it.

I distinctly remember that there was a suggestion about gypsies taking him, either that or people had seen a blond child with gypsies at a later date.

Whether this was suggested by newspapers or tourists, I don't know.

I thought Ben was always supposed to have been abducted. So why this sudden shifting of focus, I wonder.

Well I was really miffed at Madeley bringing up the case of Madeleine within a breath of speaking of Ben. I went onto the missing children's site yesterday and actually read what these 'experts' suggest to do when you think you recognise a missing child. I looked it up. It tells you too call the helpline or the police.

Jeez another pile of self-interested poop. Get on a sofa, talk about headlines for five minutes, step up the profile and get paid.

Just in case anyone thinks I'm having a go at the missingkids site I want to make myself perfectly clear. I think it's a good thing. I'm just very unhappy that TM and various celebrities/governmental people/media folk/et al have the right to shove Madeleine before anything in their 'media world'. I cannot see why TM have a voice in this.

I admire Kerry Needham and believe that she genuinely thinks that Ben was abducted. However, there may be other explanations for his disappearance as outlined in the Mirror article and perhaps these are now gaining ground. There is some evidence that the search for Ben when he first disappeared may not have been as widespread as it should have been.

Whilst it would be marvellous were Kerry and Ben to be reunited, I suspect that this will not be the final outcome and the truth may lie somewhat closer to home. And this is not intended ( as I have said above) to cast any veil of suspicion over Kerry Needham herself.

In September 2007, Carol Sarler wrote a very interesting article linking Ben`s case to Madeleine`s to emphasise the xenophobic nature of some of the reporting in both cases which suggested that Europe was overrun with " swarthy gipsies abducting children". I can`t find that article on line any longer but she also suggested that perhaps Ben wandered off or that he was involved in an accident following which he was hastily buried.

I don`t believe that Madeleine was abducted. Neither do I believe that Ben Needham was abducted. All IMHO of course.
