Newsnight Talking Point


The McCanns' Plight

It's been four weeks since Madeleine McCann went missing in Portugal.

Her parents have cooperated heavily with the media to keep her in the public eye in the hope of finding her. Yesterday Gerry and Kate McCann met the Pope. Later this week they will travel to Madrid.

Everyone will sympathise with the McCanns' plight. But some are beginning to feel uneasy about their campaign and the coverage it is getting. Is the media right to continue to give their story such prominence? And is the intervention of figures like Gordon Brown, David Beckham and the Pope appropriate?

This is not long online and there is only one comment as yet but it might be interesting to hear a few opinions on this story.

    Gerry and Kate McCann went to see the Pope to ask if he could help find their daughter.

    The Pope said he'd love to help but the Catholic Clergy was more used to hunting down small boys.

    Lol, I love wicked humour.

    BBC: Kate and Gerry McCann can't have another baby

    I don't know who makes the rules, but I agree.

    That's quite funny, I'd forgotten all about that one.

    It looks like something I might have done for Havern?
