Re: Latest interview with Dr Amaral - copied from Joana Morais - with thanks

If MI5 are involved, which evidently they are and always have been then THIS MUST HAVE BEEN at the request of the Home Secretary within the Cabinet of the Labour government of 2007.

The government has now changed. The current Home Secretary now heads MI5. If she inherited a legacy of MI5's involvement - then she surely had to make a new assessment of why they were involved and whether, in the new government, this was still appropriate. Also, whatever she inherited was not necessarily explained in full to her - she may have been fed 'not the whole truth' about why that government had politically interfered.

Hence this review by SY may have uncovered more than was bargained for and this government
have to both unravel and decide how best to conclude this. They will surely, almost certainly, be being subject to pressure from the former government not to throw this whole affair out in to the sunlight. Therefore DC is the man who has to find out the truth and then decide how to play it, whether to continue the cover up is better or not. It has to be this simple.

MI5 didn't, the Met did but I'd still like to know how or what it was that they were looking for

To be fair, it was not OG that reported about the cannabis plant find, but the newspapers that did it.

The arrival of the Clarence Mitchel on the scene is also a good indicator that something or someone was to be kept out of the public domain. How many parents of a missing child get to have a government mouthpiece to speak on their behalf? Imo this was to make sure that in the early days the McCann's didn't let slip anything that might have given the game away.

I mention again the smiling/smirking face of GM. This is the face of a man that has the satisfaction of knowing that he is above reproach.

If you look back upon the investigation these last seven years you could be forgiven in thinking that there has been a massive cover up.
The Gaspar statements. Why did it take six months for these documents to get to the Portuguese investigation?

Was it true that the semen stain collected on the bed near the window morphed into a saliva stain once back in the UK? Funny how all samples sent back for analysis came back with the same result.... inconclusive.

What are the hidden files that the Home Office refuse to hand over?

Could this British Diplomat be the 'British Citizen' that SNR Amaral refers to?

MI5 answers to the Home Secretary of the government - noone else .

by HelenMeg 09.06.14 11:33

The chain of command is Home Secretary presiding over MI5.
Whatever reason MIU5 were involved by former Home Sec of Labour government- their remit will have changed with Conservative / Lib Gov.

Who was Hone Secretary of the Labour 2007 Gov? Is this all to do with PE being the nephew of MH?

True MI5 deals with internal and domestic security issues while MI6 provides the Government with foreign intelligence. However, it was MI5 who were involved with this sting concerning the Real IRA in Alvor, Portugal.

Clearly they did but like you I have no idea how. Sorry, I was just making the pedantic point that it was the Met rather than MI5

Home Secretary May 2006 ->27 June 2007 was John Reid; Jacquie Smith from 28th June 007 -> 5 June 2009.

John Reid until 28/06/2007 then Jacqui Smith

I sincerely hope that Dr Amaral stays safe on the roads in the coming weeks.

IMO people who consistently speak up about what they are convinced is the truth, in opposition to what appears to be an ongoing whitewash, frequently end up having accidents.

Her of the expenses scandals.

Claimed the fees for porn channels her husband was using.

Despicable person, and IMO, utterly corrupt.

Gordon Brown formed the Brown ministry after being invited by Queen Elizabeth II to begin a new government following the resignation of the previous Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Anthony Blair on 27 June 2007. He took office as Prime Minister, a title he would hold until his resignation on 11 May 2010. In his inaugural cabinet Brown appointed the United Kingdom first female Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith.

Prior to this - John Reid, Baron Reid of Cardowan (born 8 May 1947) was Home Secretary from 2006 to 2007 - under Blairs ministry. Blair handed over to Brown in June 2007.....

John Reid must have surely involved MI5 in May 2007 in the Mc Cann case unless political interference only begain after Brown took over with Jacqui as Home Sec. Its important to know.

When did the political interference begin on Mc Cann case? After Brown took over on June 27th? Or whilst still under Blair? - I believe it was a little later... under Brown?

You've lost me there. What do you mean ?

by Joey Deacon 09.06.14 11:47

As far as I recall, Brown was still Chancellor when he became involved. It was at a very early stage.

I could be remembering incorrectly though.

Coincidentally John Reid is a former Chairman of Celtic Football Club. Gerry McCann was a team doctor at Celtic.

There was a definite time when GM suddenly felt he was protected. This may well have been when GB took over from Blair witch on June 27th 2007. Suddenly the portuguese investigation was thwarted and 7 long years of charade began.

Somehow, I doubt that Glasgow Catholics are in to the whole Masonsic thing :)

by HelenMeg 09.06.14 11:54

I just think that the political interference was a 'Labour' orientated interference. MI5 answers to the Home Sec and now we have a different government, MI5 / SY are not working for the same set of people.

Whatever needed to be covered up in May 2007 - why should we assume that DC's government were given all the information relating to that. Surely Labour would not have disclosed their dirty linen for the Conservatives to use.

But it seems fairly obvious that Gerry is a Freemason doesn't it?

I'm thinking of the 'praying like arabs' call for help, and the Masonic symbols used on his flip chart as bullet points.
