Four years after the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in Portugal, it's been announced that the Metropolitan Police are to 'review' the case so far, at the behest of the Prime Minister. At the same time, the McCann's launched a book about Madeleine and her supposed abduction by an unknown person.
What does a case in Portugal have to do with a London police force ? How convenient for promoting sales of the book that the news of English police involvement should break at the same time as the book launch. What joy for the Prime Minister that he can be seen to be such a caring person. What a load of bullshit.
Members of the Metropolitan Police Authority have already expressed serious concerns about the way in which 'Dave' has, effectively, told the Force to become involved, thus interfering with their independence. The Government answer to this criticism is to say that the PM has done nothing of the sort, he's simply 'asked' the Force to have a look at the evidence and 'bring their expertise' to bear. More twaddle - the PM 'asking' for something in this context is as near to an instruction as it gets.
Cameron has, reportedly, acted on a request from the McCanns themselves; one trusts that he will be receiving a fair share of the profits from the book sales, having added so much to the publicity of the launch.
