On no account have anything to do with Tony Bennett

Of course I do. I would not have had cause to write it if I did not.

Tony Bennett is striving to find out what really happened to Madeleine McCann. He is not playing detective, judge and jury as some posters appear to do. He genuinely wants the Government and police to enable the police in Portugal to proceed with their enquiries and seek justice for Madeleine.

Bloggers and posters such as Rosiepops and Nessling are opposed to any further enquiries being undertaken, and believe that the McCanns and others who were with them have nothing else to answer for.

Therefore anybody who supports these bloggers is trying to deny Madeleine her rights as a British Subject.

Making criticism of a person such as Tony Bennett who is merely trying to do something about this situation, is an enormous hinderance to the cohesion of all the groups of people who gather on forums. I have seen some despicable things written about this man by people who have never even spoken to him.

His letters and books are available to read on the internet. Nobody has ever come up with one good reason to stop the printing of this information. Information that the press are banned from printing. Not everybody has the internet at their fingertips and there is a need for hard copies in order to disseminate this information to a wider audience.

All of the information contained in any of his books or letters is factual, and he is a trained lawyer. The man knows what he is doing. He is familiar with areas of the law that laymen have little knowledge of. He also knows about systems, procedures and process. He knows whom to contact and when.

I would ask him to stop wasting his time and defending himself against any people who continue to wage their vendettas against him. They have an equal opportunity to put their own views about Madeleine's case onto the internet and discuss and debate why they believe there may have been an abduction.

Countless police and ex-detectives have not discovered any evidence to support an abduction theory. The Rosiepops and Nessling types of posters only exist to perpetuate that myth. If we acknowledge their existence, they will continue to thrive.

Therefore, anybody who makes criticism of Tony Bennett is not behind Madeleine's memory. He is the only person who is publicly trying to help the Portuguese police. He has caused people to gather behind him.

Where would we be today if he had not chosen to put his head above the parapet? Who else is putting direct pressure on the Government by writing letters week after week and asking for others to do the same?

We can sit here chatting away on the internet about the rights and wrongs of losing a child on what purported to be a holiday, but who is taking direct action?

Where would we be today? In the same place, sitting at the screen.

Where would the investigation be? In exactly the same place as it is. Nothing has come from all these letters, forums, foundations has it?

It's great that people want to find out the truth of what happened to Madeleine that night - but it will only ever be done through the proper means, and it will only ever be done by people who haven't already made their minds up in one direction or the other.

that's what I was referring to. An no it was not a cheap shot. I do not think that encouraging people to telephone a number with information, that is on a website, that has nothing to do with the police is not the proper means.

Aiyoyo.....they're directly involved in the case. I'm talking about forums/foundation/private detectives. The people who are asking for, and receiving information.

The McCanns of course have made their minds up.





I don't know what's so controversial about thinking information should be nowhere apart from the police. It's hardly an earth shattering revelation.

Thank you for your post Judge Mental, superbly written and spot on
