Scotland Yard is set to investigate an 'important' new lead in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
Extra funding has been allocated to the Met to probe the information, which is said to strengthen the theory that the British girl was kidnapped by a trafficking gang.
Detectives will work on the assumption that Maddie was snatched by a gang of European traffickers after taking photographs of her.
The new development is said to be the 'last throw of the dice' into the investigation of the youngster's disappearance in Portugal in 2007, when she was three years old.

OK I am stating the obvious, but it is remarkable that such fake stories have continued to be put out for so many years. The police are being used for PR purposes. They get work out of it, but surely many of them don't like being used in this way.

I wonder whether either the author of the press release or its copy-paster at the Daily Mail knows what the word "kidnap" means.

A lot could be said about the usage of the word "troll", and to judge from some pieces I have heard on the radio or read it wouldn't surprise me if many in the population think it's unlawful to speak out of place on the internet, just as many think it's an offence to download copyrighted music or films. If we are talking about people deliberately wasting other people's time, then a lot of trolling can be and is done by the mainstream media. They're not fools at GCHQ.
