From the sensible Blacksmith:

Being a bit Delphic again this morning, but he fails on one point.

1) The police did not come to the McCanns' family home to discuss funding, despite the earlier feeds designed to suggest that was the reason.

2) They came to tell the McCanns officially that "the investigations" are pursuing leads that do not involve any form of abduction of Madeleine McCann from the apartment.

Why would they ?
In the absence of any independent evidence, I doubt they went there at all.

Gerry McCann's Blogs

Gerry McCann: September 3 2007

After dropping the twins off Kate and I popped into church for 10 minutes to pray for Madeleine. Spent most of the day going through mail, e-mails and I had a number of calls to make. It was good to
spend some time with my family and Sean and Amelie certainly enjoyed their auntie’s dinner- sometimes it is hard to beat mince and ‘tatties’!

Kate McCann: September 3 2007

I dropped my head in my hands in utter disbelief. I began to shake and cry. I shouted at Ricardo, ‘What are you doing? Why are you doing this? I can’t believe what’s going on! This is ridiculous. It’s despicable.’ I shook my head over and over again. ‘This can’t be happening. This just cannot be true!’Trisha and Eileen were staying with us for what was intended to be our final week in Luz. Hearing the commotion from the next room, where they were playing with Sean and Amelie, they came running in demanding to know what was happening. Within seconds there were more tears and more shouts of dismay and disbelief.

"I am still amazed at the irresponsible reporting going on in the press with unsubstantiated reports from unreliable sources being repeated in the UK and Portuguese press unquestioningly."

Gerry McCann's Newsfeeds

2018, The Mail, November 25 - Part of the original newsfeed

"The British and Portuguese efforts to find out what happened to the toddler are being carried out separately - but the two are believed to have met to discuss the theory.

A spokesman for Portugal's Attorney General's Office refused to comment, but a well-placed source said: 'The heads of the two police investigations are corresponding with each other directly and have combined their efforts without resorting to rogatory letters like before.

A meeting took place recently at the HQ of the General Attorney's Office in Portugal, which was attended by the prosecutor from Portimao who is in charge of the Portuguese inquiry. One of the lines of investigation that continues to be pursued is that the child could have walked out of the holiday flat herself.'"

So the story goes:

1) Mitchell/McCann claim "woke and wandered" is a current Portuguese line of investigation.

2) Mitchell/McCann suggest that it was discussed at a high-powered meeting in the Portuguese AG's office.

3) Attorney-General's office refused to confirm the story.

2018 Metro, (part of Mail group) 27 November

"A spokesman for Portugal’s Attorney General’s Office confirmed the investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance – which is being conducted separately to Operation Grange – is ‘ongoing’ and benefitting from the same bilateral cooperation as before. She [the spokesman] said: ‘The Portuguese judicial authorities do not comment on the lines of investigation that are being pursued by the British authorities.’

But the source [read those three words again carefully]: said: ‘The heads of the two police investigations are corresponding with each other directly and have combined their efforts without resorting to rogatory letters like before. A meeting took place recently at the HQ of the General Attorney’s Office in Portugal, which was attended by the prosecutor from Portimao who is in charge of the Portuguese inquiry. One of the lines of investigation that continues to be pursued is that the child could have walked out of the holiday flat herself.’"

1) Mitchell/McCann now claim a spokesperson for the AG's office confirmed the meeting with the prosecutor.

2) Mitchell/McCann now claim the same spokesperson for the AG's office - "But the source" - confirmed that "woke and wondered" is a current line of investigation.

3) Mitchell/McCann imply, in all the feeds, that the Yard and PJ investigations are operationally divergent.

The Bureau has missed this official statement by the Attorney-General's office spokesperson.

Amid all the fibbing in the feeds, all the non-existent "rejection" of the "woke and wandered" theory and all the other junk, the pearl at the centre of the mush remains:

1) The police did not come to the McCanns' family home to discuss funding, despite the earlier feeds designed to suggest that was the reason.

2) They came to tell the McCanns officially that "the investigations" are pursuing leads that do not involve any form of abduction of Madeleine McCann from the apartment.

The McCann response has been desperate defensive spin unseen since 2007/8. But they haven't denied those central facts. They can't.
