I knew he would get 'em in the end.

He's not finished yet, of course, but at least he won the Court battle.

He'll get 'em when he's good and ready.

I don't think the McCanns hired Mitchell - I think he was 'provided' by the establishment .

Curious thing is, despite his highly paid position as a representative of the UK government's media monitoring unit and later a highly paid employee of the double glazing magnate, Brian Kennedy, still negative reports were regularly featured in the UK press about the McCanns.

Never quite been able to get my head around that . 

Then again - they were awarded substantial compensation through out of court settlements just like Robert Murat - mmmm that would most likely explain it!

A 'decent' cop?

How well has that gone then?

Ex 'Gold' Commander at SY, Simon Foy, ex Detective Superintendent Hamish Campbell, ex DCI A Redwood, current DCI N Wall, DS M Duthie.........all, I'm sure, 'vastly experienced, decent cops' investigating Madeleine's 'disappearance' for 6 YEARS, who have 'admitted' that 'we do not have a full understanding of what happened to Madeleine'

So, how 'different', for Madeleine, have 'these' decent cops, actually been, 'in charge'?
