I don't see how it can be given the resources it's reported to have. Redwood stated he has a Detective Chief Inspector (himself), 3 Detective Inspectors, 5 Detective Sergeants, 19 Detective Constables and 6 or 7 civilian staff working on it. The sums of money reported to be available are barely enough to cover the wages of a team that large I'd think.

Andy Pandy of the Yard's highly public statements lead me to believe that it's a whitewash.

Considering that he didn't have to say ANYTHING or if he felt compelled to he could just have said that work was ongoing and they are confident they can solve the case. But he didn't - he played right into the McCanns hands with an updated photo on how she "might" look which is about as helpful as using a negative of Mother Teresa. He unequivocably stated he believed Maddie was alive which in the face of what evidence and statistics we have about such cases is quite ludicrous but curiously helps keep the fund moving.

Given also that it seems the McCanns got their buddy Rebekah Brooks to bully the Prime Minister into ordering the review - we previously felt the McCanns were just putting a brave face on the news of the review whilst secretly bricking it but since THEY requested it AND Brooks called in a favour to get it done then we have to look at the McCanns being confident of the result.

NSY made no attempt to interview any of the Tapas 9: real evil begins, not when people do horrid things, but when cannot bother themselves to lie about it properly.

Yes, but it's always only a review, never a proper reopening of the case. Therein lies the true RB-TM agenda imo. The longer it goes on, the more papers sold and the more donations given to the fund, keeping the McCanns in the celebrity lifestyle they have become accustomed to.

Just hugely disappointed that after millions of tax payers' money being poured into this operation it looks as though there will be no justice for Maddie. Also disappointed that someone who has reached the rank of Detective Chief Inspector in the Met can apparently willingly sacrifice his integrity and credibility by spouting such nonsense, and horrified that politicians, journos and police can think we are all so gullible. Nevertheless there is still a tiny part of me that hopes that I am wrong, so I have voted probably not rather than definitely not.

There is actually no valid reason for this review. The constant referrals to the Portuguese police as having jurisdiction are an insult to the intelligence of every member of the British public whose tax money is being wasted on this sham. British law is quite clear on this point and there are sufficient precedences - British courts can exercise jurisdiction for crimes which are committed against British citizens irrespective of whether the crime was committed at home or abroad, if sufficient grounds exist to indicate that the crime was perpetrated by a British citizen or citizens. This does not interfere in any way shape or form with the jurisdiction of the police and courts in the country where the crime was committed. In other words, the Portuguese authorities are still free to bring a prosecution under their own laws if they see fit. It is therefore a lie to maintain that the British authorities have no say in the matter. In the case of the disappearance and feared demise of the British citizen Madeleine McCann in Portugal, I would submit that based on the Leicestershire Constabulary files and Portuguese files, there are sufficient grounds to suspect that a crime or crimes were perpetrated against her by British citizens and that therefore the British authorities are in fact duty bound to investigate this crime "as though it were perpetrated in Britain." The fact that they are not doing so, but have seconded the leading crime investigation agency in Britain to replace the hapless Edgar and Cowley as the McCanns' provate investigators and at the public's expense speaks volumes.

I do wonder if, when the Tapas 9 are called in for interview, the public will be told about this. It is inconceivable that a "review" of the case would not interview the key witnesses, Tanner especially, given her key role! But the McCanns are unlikely to publicise this, given their previous failure to attend any kind of reconstitution which would only highlight the discrepancies in their various and ever changing testimonies. Do we actually know that it hasn't already happened?
