With regard to the old saying of being 'lead up the garden path', I saw it used by viaveritasvita on another thead and purloined it as I consider it to be an apt description of how relying on a sole source of information can cause the enquirer to jump to erroneous conclusions about matters which may be far more complex than the manner in which they have been described.

aren't you the person who threatened me with making my PM's public on the forum because I disagreed with you?

Aren't you the person who proclaimed that making my PM's public is a matter of law?

Aren't you the person on this forum who cackles and makes fun of Gerry being a Glaswegian?

Man wanted in UK as part Madeleine McCann investigation jailed 18 months for child porn

The man wanted in the UK in connection with the disappearance of Madeliene McCann this afternoon was jailed for 18 months for possession of child pornography.
Roderick Macdonald, who was living in an apartment in Sannat, admitted to being in possession of pornographic photographs of children found on his laptop.
On Tuesday, the 77-year-old convicted paedophile consented to his extradition when he appeared before Magistrate Audrey Demicoli, a day after he was arrested by the police in Gozo.
Madeleine McCann has been missing since May 2007 after disappearing during a family holiday in Portugal.
The magistrate jailed him for 18 months.
The Mirror has reported that the man told people he met in Sannat that he has a Maltese mother.

2. Following on from No. 1, the claim that he was sought in connection with Madeleine McCann's disappearance would appear to be 'spin' supplied by some source of other. I would suggest that the likely source is Clarence Mitchell and it is my sincere belief that he and DCI Andy Redwood have throughout worked together to influence public perception in this case - and that Redwood would have tacitly approved the connection made by the mainstream media between Roderick MacDonald and Madeleine McCann...just as he has done with all the other ridiculous stories of numerous other 'suspects' and 'persons of interest' over the past three years, which will I am sure have been placed by the same source into various mainstream media, judicially shared out reasonably equally beeen different newspapers

The biggest risk that AR and Team McCann have right now is that after 3 years, and £10m spent they have found NOTHING.  They are no further forward.   This is likely to lead to many people to speculate "perhaps it was the parents after all..."     This is a natural and entirely logical conclusion.   AR and the McCanns know this - and they have been working against it from day 1.

They may be
Alive or Dead
White, Swarthy, or Black
Men or Women (Thanks Edgar for making that clear !)
Have long or short hair (thanks Jane Tanner for making that clear )
Live in Portugal, Angola, Morocco, Devon, (remember him !) New Zealand, Australia, Belgium, Holland, The Vatican, The White House, various TV studies (depending where we are going to 'search' next)
Be a paedo***, or running a paedo*** ring, or a random burglar who forgot his script, or a couple with no children, or a raggle-taggle gypsy, or some cleaners, or a Charity collector . . .

I was taught that the idea was to "narrow the field' of suspects ! !

None of it stands up to any level of rational questions.

Given that they are still claiming Madeleine could be alive
(ignore DNA testing, cadaver dogs searching waste ground, digging holes etc for the moment)
it seems strange that there has been a sighting reported.
Or do the MSM realise that even the most pro would not buy yet another ludicrous story ?

  If not then why don't Portugal not make them suspects, and demand a EU arrest  and send them back to Portugal.  PJ  have their hands tied behind their back.
