The Virtual Global Taskforce (VGT) was setup in 2003 as a direct response to lessons learned from investigations into on-line child abuse around the world.
At the time, police had so many calls they requested Crimestoppers filtered out some of the more diverse to allow them to focus on the facts.
?
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: "We can confirm we are in close dialogue with Crimestoppers to ensure that all material in their possession - from any source - is shared with us."
Hi Maren, I'm going through your links as and when.
I don't think your link tallies with this, but it would be nice to have if you can track it down.
Madeleine's family have created a poster appealing for people with information to call Crimestoppers
Which I think, tells us all we need to know about crime stoppers.
Meanwhile, Madeleine's uncle, John McCann, from Glasgow, countered criticism from those who say the couple were wrong to leave their children alone in the holiday apartment while they ate dinner at a nearby restaurant.
"If you look at the layout of that place, it was entirely safe. The issue at stake here was, that the flat was broken into, and wee Madeleine was abducted," he told BBC Radio Five Live.
Pennies from heaven and just the quote with which to update MM was not abducted.
So-called charities like Crimestoppers therefore form a vital part of the propaganda offensive that elites wage against the rest of us, doing much to help misdirect our attention from the real criminality of the corporate world, while insidiously sowing seeds of distrust among our local neighbourhoods. “You never know whose a criminal these days, so may sure you keep a watchful eye on your neighbours,” so the message goes.
It is beyond me that some people think the McCanns lied about coloboma. They simply couldn’t afford such a lie. Just imagine what all the people who knew Madeleine would think. Interesting photo nonetheless as she wasn’t a marketing ploy at the time. I also cannot get away from the impression that there’s something "special" about her nose and mouth.
Talking of impression.

Thank you for your links. They are read with interest, some are acted on in a public manner and some are acted on privately, although obviously you are not privy to such.
I now have to recap several emails from Martin, all revolving around who said what, when, and to whom? Think Telegraph article, date stamped 12.01 Thursday 4th May. It does search, there's plenty written about it.
Stand alone, it could be dismissed, but what with the recent CEOP datestamp, it has to be looked at as a whole?
Total bullshit, the story broke on TV in the UK within hours of the disappearance I was up late that night and SKY were reporting it almost as soon as it happened which at the time I felt was very very strange because they already had one of their reporters in the resort; Jo Wheeler (who just happened to be there ) at the time! Perhaps the McCanns did not phone SKY news because Jo Wheeler had already phoned the office to report it, but what ever happened it was reported by SKY that night.
The London Daily Telegraph uses "12.00noon" and "12.00midnight" in individual listings. In sequential listings the first programme to start after 12.00 is marked "am" or "pm" as appropriate.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-hour_clock
I am accustomed to the 24-hour clock. Just learned the 24-hour clock is popularly referred to as military time in the United States, English speaking Canada, and a handful of other countries where the 12-hour clock is still dominant.
czerwona_strzalka My nine-year-old is usually fairly sensible, but I if I leave him alone for long, I find him writing articles for the DM.. I try to stop him, but the publication fees come in handy.
The first news broke on Sky between 12.00am and 02.30am in the wee hours of the 4th May. My daughter and I watched it together, and we both remember talking about how bizarre it was that a child that had been missing in Portugal for only two hours should be considered a breaking news item on Sky news. I still remember my daughter saying 'erm...isn't this a story for the local radio station in Portugal? Someone might have seen her.' We both thought she must have wandered off and would be found by the morning.
Several posters on the MF saw the same news report.

1485 "Did you contact them''
Reply "Err I did yes. My, err you know my sister err had been in contact with them and she was trying to do everything that she could knowing the, err, the difficulties that we were having out there so you know I did approach them just asking for advice but err I can't remember, I don't think I actually spoke to anyone there, but for some reason that wasn't carried forward.'
1485 "Yeah.'
Reply "But I mean, you know, just into the context of the conversation you know we're in a strange country, we've got no representeers we don't know what's going on, all hell's broken loose and you know to see whether you can do anything to help Madeleine come back, you know and that was the lines that we were taking.'
1485 "Do you remember who you spoke to''
Reply "I don't know.'
1485 "The call was made on the following day at twenty three thirteen, so that's late at night.'
Reply "Mm.'
1485 "You don't recollect anything else about the conversation that you had with that, was it you that made the call''
Reply "Err I, yeah I know that I got phone numbers from my sister which I did you know ring them but I can't remember making one late at night.'
Thank you dearheart Mother is home, nothing broken but suffering much pain the poor lamb.
My sister took over from me last night, though I am back there tonight. Once my other sister returns from a trip, we can then set up a one in three (night) rota.
Sky News Correspondent Ian Woods was the first journalist to interview Gerry and Kate McCann. He has reported on the search for their daughter Madeleine since a few hours after she was abducted.
(...)
They had specifically asked for me to do the interview because they felt I had been supportive of them, and I had been in Praia Da Luz throughout the investigation.
It was a beautiful, sunny morning in Washington DC. The President strolled from his Oval Office to a podium in the White House Rose Garden with the spring blooms providing a colourful backdrop.
As the invited audience of business leaders applauded, Mr Bush smiled. Everything in his garden really does look rosy writes Sky News correspondent Ian Woods in Washington.
although his alleged descriptions of David Cameron as “the most facile, superficial prime minister there’s ever been”, and Boris Johnson as “a joke” seem more likely to win him support than disapproval.
LOL

Eeh bah gum, what's the world coming to when you can't trust your social worker?
Mother somewhat improved but a long way to go yet. My "shifts" aren't the easiest Maren, there are things I am privy to that make the situation between a man and his mother quite difficult. A night nurse is in order I think. We await a visit from social services to see what they might offer.
Wasn’t Kate just feeding the idea that Maddie was ‘abducted’ alive? A dead child cannot give them her tuppence worth. Along the same lines as Kate’s I kept picturing her in her short-sleeved Marks & Spencer Eeyore pyjamas and feeling how chilled she would be. Just to mention another example.
"If she is dead then she is dead but not by their hand."
14 Oct 2007
A friend of Kate and Gerry McCann said: "Any widening of the search area is encouraging and we would welcome that. It does sound as though there is more vigour in that aspect of the inquiry which is good."
He added that while it would be a "tragedy" for the family if police searches eventually yield the little girl's body, at least it would help lift the cloud of suspicion from them.
"If she is dead then she is dead but not by their hand," he said.
I'm busy busy packing up 18 month's worth of accumulated junk. I don't even know if my offer has been accepted on the new place yet, but I have my moving head on now, so if it's not that one, it will be something else.
Where do it all come from?
Are you OK Maren? I don't seem to have had much time to chat what with one thing or another.
Mama is somewhat improved so we might be able to kick the over-nighters into touch soon. (I hope)
1578 'Okay. Did you want to mention something about Doctors in the group''
Reply 'Yeah I was just going to say that, you know Kate and Gerry are both Doctors and you know there were three other medics in the group, erm four others actually sorry, four others, erm you know so if by any chance they'd accidentally done anything to Madeleine or she was ill or erm you know something wasn't quite right, I mean they wouldn't have just left her and sort of tried to cover it up as an accident or you know, they would of sort of you know, come and got Matt and Russell and Dave and Fi, erm I mean you know, not just because they are Doctors, because you know they're parents and you'd kind of go to anyone to see who could help but if you've got, you know Doctors as friends who were there as well, erm you know there were kind of six people there who if Madeleine had accidentally been bumped on the head or you know whatever the theories are supposed to be, erm you know, there were plenty of people there who could of you know, tried to revive a child, erm'.
In the case of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann (2007), the UK police asked visitors at the Resort in Portugal in the two weeks prior to child’s disappearance to provide any photographs of passers-by for use in a biometric facial recognition system.
Your baby will receive the DTaP, Hib, polio, pneumococcal vaccines (combined in two shots) and the rotavirus vaccine (given orally).
An assistant may administer the vaccines. This is usually done at the end of the appointment so you can have some privacy afterward to comfort your baby.
Kate McCann’s ...I mean, the first 48 hours, as Gerry said, were incredibly difficult and we were almost non-functioning, I'd say, errm, but after that you get strength from somewhere...., springs to mind.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YWCVSjIJk8
They get strength “from somewhere” when the chances of finding their daughter dwindle?
Dave, seeing Gerry's anguish and frustration at how little was being done, knew Madeleine needed more help than she was getting. At some point before the PJ left, a retired British couple in a nearby apartment lent him their computer and he sent an email to Sky News alerting them to the abduction of our daughter, using an address listed on their website.
Interesting article by Dr Martin Roberts. Thank you for posting. As you say, thoughtful and well argued. He has a realistic and fascinating style of writing.
Although I haven’t really followed it, I do remember the news about the terrible events in London on 7 July, 2005. I’m still reading, there’s a wealth of information... M
Mr Borkowski said it was "a mark of brilliance" that Mr Mitchell has managed to keep the story in the public consciousness for the four years since Madeleine went missing aged three.
43. In the case files you were SHOWN CANINE forensic testing films, where you can see them marking due to detection of the scent of human corpse and blood traces, also human, and only human, as well as all the comments of the technician in charge of them. After watching and after the marking of the scent of corpse in your bedroom beside the wardrobe and behind the sofa, pushed up against the sofa wall, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
44. When the sniffer dog also marked human blood behind the sofa, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
45. When the sniffer dog marked the scent of corpse coming from the vehicle you hired a month after the disappearance, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
46. When human blood was marked in the boot of the vehicle, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
47. When confronted with the results of Maddie’s DNA, whose analysis was carried out in a British laboratory, collected from behind the sofa and the boot of the vehicle, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
----------------------------
Can I conclude that Kate McCann had already explained the scent of human corpse, the human blood and Madeleine's DNA?
The question of "who mentioned the six corpses” springs to mind. M
But not to worry. As Peter Jukes has condescended to explain, any perception of a McCann "cover up" can be easily understood given the inevitability of journalistic error. After 8 years of seeing this poor child's memory being whored through the media, such are his conclusions. Erudite conclusions, I don't doubt.
I wonder what species of error he might ascribe to an MPS "operation" in an overseas jurisdiction, costing £10,000,000, employing 31 detectives, working to a prescriptive remit, and broadcasting a reconstruction that airbrushed a key witness completely out of the scene...
Such is Leveson: a changing of the "guard" but naturally, they march to the same metre. They are of the same body, and share the same instincts. I really begin to wonder which is the least desirable faction of this media turf war; is it the overt guttersnipe mentality of NI, or the veneer of the Leveson junkies?
So true, Orwell had them nailed. Eight years of the same shite, four of which have been fuelled by the tabloid stagings of Operation Grange; and there's nothing to be seen (aside from the errors).
I interacted with several fellow human beings, bought my neighbour her groceries (a small good deed), whilst I went for a walk. I also cycled through the woods. After finishing my work at the office, I prepared dinner, interacted with my family and did some housework. Then I worked in the garden until darkness settled on the trees. Naturally, I smelled the flowers since I am surrounded by flowers.
Finally, surfing around the world, I ended up Oop North where I read some interesting blog posts. As the writers have an excellent writing style I feel doubly blessed; I am still trying to improve my English. Utile dulci!
Well, I did not bake bread, I’ll give him that. I’m not really into baking, I love reading though. Can’t have it all.
As you will understand, I have not found anything else to fill my life with yet.
I’m going to bed with a head full of wonderful thoughts, that words cannot describe.
I ended up Oop North where I read some interesting blog posts. As the writers have an excellent writing style.
Agreed!! Hence my anger at people such as Jukes.
When he dismissively says that scrutiny of the McCanns lacks "credibility" I think we know what he attempts to denigrate.
This comes from a "journalist" who lauds a judicial process that insistently misrepresented the facts of a missing child case as an abduction. And of course when Brenda Leyland was hounded to death, Jukes, just like "Hacked Off", said not a word (certainly not to my knowledge). Truly vulnerable people are mere pawns to them, and of course that would include Madeleine herself, so exploited by Leveson.
I take the dog for a walk daily and smell the flowers en route. I also get to smell that other stuff the local by-laws require me to pick up (after the dog). Maybe that's why I too can smell manure when I read it!
You have said elsewhere, I think, that you had doubts about 'those pyjamas'.
Perhaps now would be a good time to let you know that Richard D Hall is preparing a new 'Madeleine McCann' film, in which he might disclose some interesting information on that subject (I know because I gave it him). No promises mind you, since he is his own producer, but it could be something to look out for.
Thank you for your kind support. Your English is indeed excellent and stylistically so 'a propos'.
Thank you for your reply. I have always read your articles with great interest, especially with regard to the pyjamas as those pyjamas have bothered me from the very start. You worded my thoughts so to speak.
Richard Hall’s new film is something to look out for. Hope is the thing with feathers after all.
Hi H. I posted http://aldeilis.net/bpb/london/ that I found by reading M.R.’s article. As he said, cited or quoted in that article. It’s just information, for myself and any other reader to consider such matters. Maren
He's right and there have been no viable leads because there are none to be found, The parents did it, most probably by accident, intending to just drug their hyperactive child so they could go out on the lash, but something went wrong and the kidnapped story was designed to cover their asses and point the finger elsewhere. The thing I can't fathom out, is why the police have chosen to ignore them for this long.
Hello there. I didn't recognise you from your original comment (it's hard to tell one 'Anonymous' from another these days!).
Anyway, being aware of your desire always to improve your command of English, I feel I should point out a small failure in mine!
I wrote in that essay(accidentally, I hope) : 'on her possession'
which is an unfortunate blend of two different phrases: 'on her person' and 'in her possession'.
One or the other would have done, but I incorrectly fused them together. I should have checked the spelling before pressing the 'post it' button but it's quite possible that I simply hit the wrong key when typing ('i' and 'o' being adjacent).
Former prime minister Pieter Sjoerds Gerbrandy had a meeting with Winston Churchill in London. Gerbrandy entered the room and shook Churchill's hand, saying: "Good-day!" Churchill responded: "This is the shortest meeting I have ever had". Gerbrandy had looked up the English translation of goedendag, which in Dutch can be both used as a greeting and a valediction. "Good day" in British English is most often used as valediction, as opposed to "good morning" or "good afternoon".
How we double Dutch have to suffer at times, ain’t that so Himself?
And then there is #McCann and flame wars. Is it any wonder I don’t bake bread.
I don't like nationalists So my goat has been well and truly got over the past 18 months by the independence referendum. I don't like putting new lines on maps, breaking up countries into smaller parts. And I don't like people who bang the drum of their tribe, thinking that the coincidence of where they were born confers superiority on them: it's not where you start, it's what you do with the rest of your life that's significant.

Regarding monsters, corporate, marshal or otherwise, have a look at this short clip, 15mins I think, I have to go and find it so separate link in a moment. But I did so like his take on 9/11 being a coup. It makes so much sense, and for the reasons given. In fact I shall it again myself.
Martin was first to report the arrest of Amy Winehouse, the resignation of Sir Ian Blair, and was the first to interview Madeleine McCann suspect Robert Murat, he has also covered both the First Gulf War and the Balkan War. Martin’s contacts led to Sky News being first to report that the July 7 events in London were the work of terrorists and allowed Sky News to break the news of the death of the Queen Mother. During the Ipswich murders, a Suffolk Police Press Officer remarked to another journalist, as reported in the Times: ‘Call Martin Brunt. He knows everything before we do.’
"Call Martin Brunt. He knows everything before we do."
He has a reputation for gaining insider information: Hugo Rifkind reported in The Times diary of 22 December 2006:
"High praise for the Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt. When a hack from (another) newspaper phoned Suffolk Police press office with a query on the serial killer case, he was told: 'Call Martin Brunt. He knows everything before we do.' A little concerning."
(...)
In October 2014, Brunt was the journalist involved in revealing the identity of Brenda Leyland, who had posted comments concerning the McCann investigation on social media. Following the revelation and a report to Leicestershire Police, Brunt and a camera crew confronted Leyland at her home. Following the confrontation Leyland was later found dead in a hotel, leading to calls on social media for Brunt to be sacked.
For all the changes over the years, success as a crime reporter still comes down to one thing, personal contacts, although becoming too well known can bring its own problems. Even to the many cops I don't know I have become a familiar feature on the pavement outside Scotland Yard. A friend was following two detectives out of the building recently and overheard one say to the other: “Let's go and kick Martin Brunt.” Of course, she could have been mistaken. Maybe he said, “Let's go and nick Martin Brunt.”
7. The much-promised ‘something which will really shock you’ is merely that she has found out that both Michael Wright and Philomena McCann/Rickwood post under false names on the internet. Wow! There is no other shock. "by TB"
No shock, but interesting. I love information.

Would you believe, I have to select all images with street signs to prove that I am not a robot. LOL
Pitiful though it may appear to some, I cannot help but notice certain similarities between ostensibly unrelated events. I mean, whatever can the tragedy of 9/11 have in common with the disappearance of Madeleine McCann?
In keeping with their conservative message, the founder and chairman of Crimestoppers happens to be Lord Michael Ashcroft, the former deputy chairman of the Conservative Party (2005-10). A man who alongside his chosen hobby of stoking fear among the working class, provides a prime example of how the 1% turn a tidy profit from the exploitation of the 99%. One disgusting way in which he does this is through his significant financial investment in Medacs Healthcare, a private company that provides agency staff to the NHS at generously inflated costs.
Or one might note how another company forming part of Lord Ashcroft’s tax avoidance business empire is a data storage company known as Restore plc, which is chaired by Sir William Wells — who has a related sideline in profiting from the dismantling of the public care home system in Britain (a process which is aided and abetted here in Leicester by the Labour party) through his being a board member of the elderly care company HC-One. Here he works closely with HC-One board chairman, Chai Patel who is an advisor to the private equity healthcare vulture Bridgepoint Capital (see “Healthcare for the few”).
I don’t know if it is of any importance (I’m still trying to educate myself).
The arms smuggling was passed off in the joint British-Irish government's policy of 'constructive ambiguity' over the supposed non-existence of the Provisional IRA.
Just like the poster you quoted in your article, I don’t believe the reason for protection leads to a high level paedophile gang. Perhaps there is an indirect link. Anyway, it seems to be the McCanns’ favourite topic, which in itself I find more than suspicious.
Kate McCann gave this interview to The Irish Sunday Mirror on Friday morning, hours before being made an arguida - official suspect - in the Madeleine inquiry.
What manner of 'pup' might the McCanns have been able to sell their new found friends, such that they would line up behind them without demur? Given their relative unfamiliarity to each other, one might suppose the more likely reaction to any announcement of some fatal, non-accidental trauma, would be, 'this is where I get off', not 'this is OUR secret'.
You worded my thoughts, so to speak, and I wish I could answer that question. Here again, I don’t think it has to do with paedophilia or the, in my view, ridiculous swinging theory. I think it has something to do with “the medical world”. But then, I could be totally wrong.
"I don’t think it has to do with paedophilia or the, in my view, ridiculous swinging theory"
I notice the interview is reproduced in the 'Irish' Sunday Mirror. Also that the word 'paedophile' is inserted into the quote to become the title of the piece. (I commented elsewhere on the possible significance of the Police 'wanting' a murder or not - I think 'H' may have removed it though).
Paedophilia is simply a necessary motive for a supposed crime (child abduction). And if that crime was not committed?
I too have considered the 'medical world', as you put it. There are certain issues which might, at the time, have exposed Astra Zeneca(employers of brother John) to a hostile take-over by a US pharmaceutical concern, when HMG was rather keen on its remaining a UK company.
Ironically, we may point to a variety of possible explanations for abduction's being a 'cover', but neither plausible motive nor evidence for the latter crime ever having been committed. And yet Operation Grange (and others) remain convinced?
It's a strange world we live in - and getting stranger by the day.
Thank you for yet another 'nudge' in the current direction (at least until the wind changes).
Carvoeiro - just a bus ride away and handy for the 'slide and splash' I notice.
"Carvoeiro was also the venue for totally confidential meetings between Duddy and a secret service agent. They talked in the apartment and sometimes went for long walks together outside the village."
Without exception, DCI redwood's public appearances have been a vehicle for the 'agreed position'. What annoys me about this particular 'bin man' episode (as it did at the time), is his bleating on about suspected burglaries/sexual assaults, which, if I am not mistaken, were unknown (i.e. unreported) to the Portuguese even.
Be that as it may, the remit of Operation Grange was to review/investigate the disappearance of Madeleine McCann - a task-specific undertaking. It was not to branch out into the pursuit of those guilty of unrelated crimes, ostensibly committed on the Portuguese Algarve over a six year period.
To suppose, indeed to attempt to convince the public, that quasi-spontaneous 'hit and run' assaults (on 7 to 10 year olds) might in some way be connected with the apparent abduction of a girl aged just 4 is either disingenuous or a display of unforgivable ineptitude on the part of a DCI.
Anyone who believes in this nonsense should move to the front of the queue for my forthcoming auction of London Bridge!
...the agency almost came to grief early on, when police raided its offices, and Marco, his mother, father and brother were arrested and briefly jailed in 1995....Their big break came nearly 10 years later, when M-3 was credited with tracking down one of Spain’s most-infamous spies, Francisco Paesa, a notorious arms dealer...Paesa fled Spain after being charged with money-laundering.
No hint of a connection here, but purely as a matter of interest (should anyone be looking for material for a novel...here's yer man!):
If nothing else Paesa epitomises the ambiguity of his trade, described variously as a "government fixer" or in the next breath "interpols most wanted".
Operation Grange were no slouches when the M3 scandal broke in Barcelona.
The comment you refer to is still there. The deleted ones, I think, are those with reference to the relocation (just guessing, but I can imagine, given the current climate).
As you say, “So how might 'Police', who 'did not want a murder', have made it 'un-happen', given the choice? And which 'Police' might have been best placed to exercise that option?”
Kate’s "Police don't want a murder in Portugal and all the publicity about them not having paedophile laws here, so they're blaming us”, sounds to me like a mother trying to convince people that her daughter is murdered by a paedophile, and therefore like a mother who knows her daughter is dead. Is it a last-ditch attempt to ‘prove’ their innocence or is it a sort of warning as to another murder?
Kate on Portuguese laws; a safe home in politics? It also reminded me of:
Straight out of the horses' mouths and an absolute classic!
We know full well that politicians never give a straight answer to a sensitive question. The trick to interpretation is afterwards to decide the question which best fits the answer they have just given.
These video clips are pure gold. A thousand thanks.
"Kate’s "Police don't want a murder in Portugal and all the publicity about them not having paedophile laws here, so they're blaming us”, sounds to me like a mother trying to convince people that her daughter is murdered by a paedophile, and therefore like a mother who knows her daughter is dead."
Correct on both counts in my estimation. For me KM's second phrase does not sit comfortably with the initial clause. It reads like a 'forced marriage' between two ideas wedded more from necessity than natural association.
“Brian had suggested bringing in Rogério because he felt we needed additional legal support in Portugal. Gerry and I spent some time on our own with him in another room, basically to get to know him a little, and vice versa, and to familiarize him with our perspective on matters.”
(...)
“Rogério would represent me in Portugal while Carlos continued to act for Gerry.”
One of the quickest to reveal the full story was a 34-year old human rights activist, Richard Wilson. He was baking a banana cake in his kitchen in London when he first found out about the gag on the Guardian from a message posted on Twitter.
A few minutes of frantic internet searching later he published the fact that the gag related to Farrelly's questions about Trafigura. He also published the text of the questions itself and became so absorbed in cracking the puzzle, his cake burned to a crisp. He said it was a small price to pay.
Although the main focus of the Safety Board’s investigation was the crash’s cause, the agency will also address several other important questions surrounding the crash.
Among these will be why MH17’s flight path took it over the Ukraine conflict zone. Ukraine kept its airspace open to passenger flights at an altitude deemed high enough to be safe, and some airlines were still using it, but many routed traffic around the area.

Within a few hours more than 150 police and other forces were on the scene and as far as I am concerned, they did their utmost to find this girl. Your comment is a bit ridiculous when it is a known fact that the British secret service were on the trail of the July bombers and let them go with the tragic consequences we all know."
How she does it I cannot presume to know, but do please convey my sincere thanks (I might have done so personally but didn't wish to clog up the area with just a 'thank you' note).
Of very particular interest (to me) is the concluding sentence concerning the July bombers, and how Barend Weijdom in particular knew 'as a fact' that the British Secret Service were on their trail. Did that trail embrace the Portuguese Algarve I wonder?

It is in fact new to me Maren and to Martin I don't doubt, to whom I have passed it on.
And not uninteresting by any means.
Thanks Chuck.
O yea, O yea

Are you helping because the Portugese police are not effective?
Would an offer of a substantial reward help in this case?
How do you filter calls?
Interesting questions.

At the time, police had so many calls they requested Crimestoppers filtered out some of the more diverse to allow them to focus on the facts.
?
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: "We can confirm we are in close dialogue with Crimestoppers to ensure that all material in their possession - from any source - is shared with us."
Quite comforting, is it not? Mx

Earlier, Madeleine's grandmother said Portuguese police made mistakes at the start of the hunt for her, possibly because they were "inexperienced".
You couldn't possibly make it up.
Susan Healy, from Liverpool, said the three-year-old's parents had found it hard to communicate to police early on.
and later on:

Hi Maren, I'm going through your links as and when.
I don't think your link tallies with this, but it would be nice to have if you can track it down.
Madeleine's family have created a poster appealing for people with information to call Crimestoppers
Which I think, tells us all we need to know about crime stoppers.
Meanwhile, Madeleine's uncle, John McCann, from Glasgow, countered criticism from those who say the couple were wrong to leave their children alone in the holiday apartment while they ate dinner at a nearby restaurant.
"If you look at the layout of that place, it was entirely safe. The issue at stake here was, that the flat was broken into, and wee Madeleine was abducted," he told BBC Radio Five Live.
Pennies from heaven and just the quote with which to update MM was not abducted.
Nice one Chuck.

Hi H, I'm going through a link, too.
https://thoughtsofaleicestersocialist.wordpress.com/2013/11/09/stopping-crime-stoppers/
So-called charities like Crimestoppers therefore form a vital part of the propaganda offensive that elites wage against the rest of us, doing much to help misdirect our attention from the real criminality of the corporate world, while insidiously sowing seeds of distrust among our local neighbourhoods. “You never know whose a criminal these days, so may sure you keep a watchful eye on your neighbours,” so the message goes.

It is beyond me that some people think the McCanns lied about coloboma. They simply couldn’t afford such a lie. Just imagine what all the people who knew Madeleine would think. Interesting photo nonetheless as she wasn’t a marketing ploy at the time. I also cannot get away from the impression that there’s something "special" about her nose and mouth.

Thank you for your links. They are read with interest, some are acted on in a public manner and some are acted on privately, although obviously you are not privy to such.
I now have to recap several emails from Martin, all revolving around who said what, when, and to whom? Think Telegraph article, date stamped 12.01 Thursday 4th May. It does search, there's plenty written about it.
Stand alone, it could be dismissed, but what with the recent CEOP datestamp, it has to be looked at as a whole?

A three-year-old British girl [name not mentioned] has gone missing while on a family holiday in Portugal, the Foreign Office said today.
...
"They reported it straight away," he [a Foreign Office spokesman] said, adding that consular assistance was being offered.
The Telegraph reports at 12:01AM BST 04 May 2007 what the Foreign Office said today, 04 May 2007. Speedy reporting to say the least.

One of the comments:
Total bullshit, the story broke on TV in the UK within hours of the disappearance I was up late that night and SKY were reporting it almost as soon as it happened which at the time I felt was very very strange because they already had one of their reporters in the resort; Jo Wheeler (who just happened to be there ) at the time! Perhaps the McCanns did not phone SKY news because Jo Wheeler had already phoned the office to report it, but what ever happened it was reported by SKY that night.
?
Thank you both for your excellent blogs/articles.

Wheeler was called in by Sky to help cover the Madeleine McCann case, after the little girl was snatched a few miles from Wheeler’s villa.

The London Daily Telegraph uses "12.00noon" and "12.00midnight" in individual listings. In sequential listings the first programme to start after 12.00 is marked "am" or "pm" as appropriate.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-hour_clock
I am accustomed to the 24-hour clock. Just learned the 24-hour clock is popularly referred to as military time in the United States, English speaking Canada, and a handful of other countries where the 12-hour clock is still dominant.

The first news broke on Sky between 12.00am and 02.30am in the wee hours of the 4th May. My daughter and I watched it together, and we both remember talking about how bizarre it was that a child that had been missing in Portugal for only two hours should be considered a breaking news item on Sky news. I still remember my daughter saying 'erm...isn't this a story for the local radio station in Portugal? Someone might have seen her.' We both thought she must have wandered off and would be found by the morning.
Several posters on the MF saw the same news report.

Sky News Correspondent Ian Woods was the first journalist to interview Gerry and Kate McCann. He has reported on the search for their daughter Madeleine since a few hours after she was abducted.
(...)
They had specifically asked for me to do the interview because they felt I had been supportive of them, and I had been in Praia Da Luz throughout the investigation.

Wasn’t Kate just feeding the idea that Maddie was ‘abducted’ alive? A dead child cannot give them her tuppence worth. Along the same lines as Kate’s I kept picturing her in her short-sleeved Marks & Spencer Eeyore pyjamas and feeling how chilled she would be. Just to mention another example.
"If she is dead then she is dead but not by their hand."
14 Oct 2007
A friend of Kate and Gerry McCann said: "Any widening of the search area is encouraging and we would welcome that. It does sound as though there is more vigour in that aspect of the inquiry which is good."
He added that while it would be a "tragedy" for the family if police searches eventually yield the little girl's body, at least it would help lift the cloud of suspicion from them.
"If she is dead then she is dead but not by their hand," he said.

Your baby will receive the DTaP, Hib, polio, pneumococcal vaccines (combined in two shots) and the rotavirus vaccine (given orally).
An assistant may administer the vaccines. This is usually done at the end of the appointment so you can have some privacy afterward to comfort your baby.

Dave, seeing Gerry's anguish and frustration at how little was being done, knew Madeleine needed more help than she was getting.

43. In the case files you were SHOWN CANINE forensic testing films, where you can see them marking due to detection of the scent of human corpse and blood traces, also human, and only human, as well as all the comments of the technician in charge of them. After watching and after the marking of the scent of corpse in your bedroom beside the wardrobe and behind the sofa, pushed up against the sofa wall, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
44. When the sniffer dog also marked human blood behind the sofa, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
45. When the sniffer dog marked the scent of corpse coming from the vehicle you hired a month after the disappearance, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
46. When human blood was marked in the boot of the vehicle, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
47. When confronted with the results of Maddie’s DNA, whose analysis was carried out in a British laboratory, collected from behind the sofa and the boot of the vehicle, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
----------------------------
Can I conclude that Kate McCann had already explained the scent of human corpse, the human blood and Madeleine's DNA?
The question of "who mentioned the six corpses” springs to mind. M

Good morning H
Some interesting exchanges recently...
But not to worry. As Peter Jukes has condescended to explain, any perception of a McCann "cover up" can be easily understood given the inevitability of journalistic error. After 8 years of seeing this poor child's memory being whored through the media, such are his conclusions. Erudite conclusions, I don't doubt.
I wonder what species of error he might ascribe to an MPS "operation" in an overseas jurisdiction, costing £10,000,000, employing 31 detectives, working to a prescriptive remit, and broadcasting a reconstruction that airbrushed a key witness completely out of the scene...
Such is Leveson: a changing of the "guard" but naturally, they march to the same metre. They are of the same body, and share the same instincts. I really begin to wonder which is the least desirable faction of this media turf war; is it the overt guttersnipe mentality of NI, or the veneer of the Leveson junkies?

Good evening H/MR
Today was just an ordinary day.
I interacted with several fellow human beings, bought my neighbour her groceries (a small good deed), whilst I went for a walk. I also cycled through the woods. After finishing my work at the office, I prepared dinner, interacted with my family and did some housework. Then I worked in the garden until darkness settled on the trees. Naturally, I smelled the flowers since I am surrounded by flowers.
Finally, surfing around the world, I ended up Oop North where I read some interesting blog posts. As the writers have an excellent writing style I feel doubly blessed; I am still trying to improve my English. Utile dulci!

M @ 10.58,

Agreed!! Hence my anger at people such as Jukes.
When he dismissively says that scrutiny of the McCanns lacks "credibility" I think we know what he attempts to denigrate.
This comes from a "journalist" who lauds a judicial process that insistently misrepresented the facts of a missing child case as an abduction. And of course when Brenda Leyland was hounded to death, Jukes, just like "Hacked Off", said not a word (certainly not to my knowledge). Truly vulnerable people are mere pawns to them, and of course that would include Madeleine herself, so exploited by Leveson.
Such are their "meeja ethics".
All the best!

You have said elsewhere, I think, that you had doubts about 'those pyjamas'.
Perhaps now would be a good time to let you know that Richard D Hall is preparing a new 'Madeleine McCann' film, in which he might disclose some interesting information on that subject (I know because I gave it him). No promises mind you, since he is his own producer, but it could be something to look out for.

He's right and there have been no viable leads because there are none to be found, The parents did it, most probably by accident, intending to just drug their hyperactive child so they could go out on the lash, but something went wrong and the kidnapped story was designed to cover their asses and point the finger elsewhere. The thing I can't fathom out, is why the police have chosen to ignore them for this long.

Hello there. I didn't recognise you from your original comment (it's hard to tell one 'Anonymous' from another these days!).
Anyway, being aware of your desire always to improve your command of English, I feel I should point out a small failure in mine!
I wrote in that essay(accidentally, I hope) : 'on her possession'
which is an unfortunate blend of two different phrases: 'on her person' and 'in her possession'.
One or the other would have done, but I incorrectly fused them together. I should have checked the spelling before pressing the 'post it' button but it's quite possible that I simply hit the wrong key when typing ('i' and 'o' being adjacent).
That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it!
Thank you for your support in any case.

I hadn’t even noticed that typo, lol.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunglish
Former prime minister Pieter Sjoerds Gerbrandy had a meeting with Winston Churchill in London. Gerbrandy entered the room and shook Churchill's hand, saying: "Good-day!" Churchill responded: "This is the shortest meeting I have ever had". Gerbrandy had looked up the English translation of goedendag, which in Dutch can be both used as a greeting and a valediction. "Good day" in British English is most often used as valediction, as opposed to "good morning" or "good afternoon".
How we double Dutch have to suffer at times, ain’t that so Himself?

"The time has come to fight our corner" - Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe

Martin was first to report the arrest of Amy Winehouse, the resignation of Sir Ian Blair, and was the first to interview Madeleine McCann suspect Robert Murat, he has also covered both the First Gulf War and the Balkan War. Martin’s contacts led to Sky News being first to report that the July 7 events in London were the work of terrorists and allowed Sky News to break the news of the death of the Queen Mother. During the Ipswich murders, a Suffolk Police Press Officer remarked to another journalist, as reported in the Times: ‘Call Martin Brunt. He knows everything before we do.’
https://corporate.sky.com/media-centre/biogs/sky-news/martin-brunt
"Call Martin Brunt. He knows everything before we do."
He has a reputation for gaining insider information: Hugo Rifkind reported in The Times diary of 22 December 2006:
"High praise for the Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt. When a hack from (another) newspaper phoned Suffolk Police press office with a query on the serial killer case, he was told: 'Call Martin Brunt. He knows everything before we do.' A little concerning."
(...)
In October 2014, Brunt was the journalist involved in revealing the identity of Brenda Leyland, who had posted comments concerning the McCann investigation on social media. Following the revelation and a report to Leicestershire Police, Brunt and a camera crew confronted Leyland at her home. Following the confrontation Leyland was later found dead in a hotel, leading to calls on social media for Brunt to be sacked.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Brunt
2007
http://www.bjr.org.uk/data/2007/no4_brunt
For all the changes over the years, success as a crime reporter still comes down to one thing, personal contacts, although becoming too well known can bring its own problems. Even to the many cops I don't know I have become a familiar feature on the pavement outside Scotland Yard. A friend was following two detectives out of the building recently and overheard one say to the other: “Let's go and kick Martin Brunt.” Of course, she could have been mistaken. Maybe he said, “Let's go and nick Martin Brunt.”

In keeping with their conservative message, the founder and chairman of Crimestoppers happens to be Lord Michael Ashcroft, the former deputy chairman of the Conservative Party (2005-10). A man who alongside his chosen hobby of stoking fear among the working class, provides a prime example of how the 1% turn a tidy profit from the exploitation of the 99%. One disgusting way in which he does this is through his significant financial investment in Medacs Healthcare, a private company that provides agency staff to the NHS at generously inflated costs.
Or one might note how another company forming part of Lord Ashcroft’s tax avoidance business empire is a data storage company known as Restore plc, which is chaired by Sir William Wells — who has a related sideline in profiting from the dismantling of the public care home system in Britain (a process which is aided and abetted here in Leicester by the Labour party) through his being a board member of the elderly care company HC-One. Here he works closely with HC-One board chairman, Chai Patel who is an advisor to the private equity healthcare vulture Bridgepoint Capital (see “Healthcare for the few”).

Good morning Martin R.
I don’t know if it is of any importance (I’m still trying to educate myself).
The arms smuggling was passed off in the joint British-Irish government's policy of 'constructive ambiguity' over the supposed non-existence of the Provisional IRA.
http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/mcguigan-murder-shows-that-the-ira-is-intact-armed-and-killing-31470930.html
Just like the poster you quoted in your article, I don’t believe the reason for protection leads to a high level paedophile gang. Perhaps there is an indirect link. Anyway, it seems to be the McCanns’ favourite topic, which in itself I find more than suspicious.
Kate McCann gave this interview to The Irish Sunday Mirror on Friday morning, hours before being made an arguida - official suspect - in the Madeleine inquiry.
http://newsoutlines.blogspot.nl/2007/09/police-dont-want-paedophile-murder-here.html
-----------------------------
What manner of 'pup' might the McCanns have been able to sell their new found friends, such that they would line up behind them without demur? Given their relative unfamiliarity to each other, one might suppose the more likely reaction to any announcement of some fatal, non-accidental trauma, would be, 'this is where I get off', not 'this is OUR secret'.
You worded my thoughts, so to speak, and I wish I could answer that question. Here again, I don’t think it has to do with paedophilia or the, in my view, ridiculous swinging theory. I think it has something to do with “the medical world”. But then, I could be totally wrong.
Kind regards,
Maren
Maren @08:26
"I don’t think it has to do with paedophilia or the, in my view, ridiculous swinging theory"
I notice the interview is reproduced in the 'Irish' Sunday Mirror. Also that the word 'paedophile' is inserted into the quote to become the title of the piece. (I commented elsewhere on the possible significance of the Police 'wanting' a murder or not - I think 'H' may have removed it though).
Paedophilia is simply a necessary motive for a supposed crime (child abduction). And if that crime was not committed?
I too have considered the 'medical world', as you put it. There are certain issues which might, at the time, have exposed Astra Zeneca(employers of brother John) to a hostile take-over by a US pharmaceutical concern, when HMG was rather keen on its remaining a UK company.
Ironically, we may point to a variety of possible explanations for abduction's being a 'cover', but neither plausible motive nor evidence for the latter crime ever having been committed. And yet Operation Grange (and others) remain convinced?
It's a strange world we live in - and getting stranger by the day.
Kind regards

What a memory you have!
Without exception, DCI redwood's public appearances have been a vehicle for the 'agreed position'. What annoys me about this particular 'bin man' episode (as it did at the time), is his bleating on about suspected burglaries/sexual assaults, which, if I am not mistaken, were unknown (i.e. unreported) to the Portuguese even.
Be that as it may, the remit of Operation Grange was to review/investigate the disappearance of Madeleine McCann - a task-specific undertaking. It was not to branch out into the pursuit of those guilty of unrelated crimes, ostensibly committed on the Portuguese Algarve over a six year period.
To suppose, indeed to attempt to convince the public, that quasi-spontaneous 'hit and run' assaults (on 7 to 10 year olds) might in some way be connected with the apparent abduction of a girl aged just 4 is either disingenuous or a display of unforgivable ineptitude on the part of a DCI.
Anyone who believes in this nonsense should move to the front of the queue for my forthcoming auction of London Bridge!

An interesting little fringe on Metodo 3
http://www.mccannfiles.com/id76.html
...the agency almost came to grief early on, when police raided its offices, and Marco, his mother, father and brother were arrested and briefly jailed in 1995....Their big break came nearly 10 years later, when M-3 was credited with tracking down one of Spain’s most-infamous spies, Francisco Paesa, a notorious arms dealer...Paesa fled Spain after being charged with money-laundering.
No hint of a connection here, but purely as a matter of interest (should anyone be looking for material for a novel...here's yer man!):

If nothing else Paesa epitomises the ambiguity of his trade, described variously as a "government fixer" or in the next breath "interpols most wanted".

Martin R. @10:55, 26 Sept.
The comment you refer to is still there. The deleted ones, I think, are those with reference to the relocation (just guessing, but I can imagine, given the current climate).
As you say, “So how might 'Police', who 'did not want a murder', have made it 'un-happen', given the choice? And which 'Police' might have been best placed to exercise that option?”
Kate’s "Police don't want a murder in Portugal and all the publicity about them not having paedophile laws here, so they're blaming us”, sounds to me like a mother trying to convince people that her daughter is murdered by a paedophile, and therefore like a mother who knows her daughter is dead. Is it a last-ditch attempt to ‘prove’ their innocence or is it a sort of warning as to another murder?
Kate on Portuguese laws; a safe home in politics? It also reminded me of:
http://www.west-info.eu/portugal-to-debate-law-on-outing-paedophiles/
To date, only two countries have already gone down this road: Britain and the US...
I echo Agnos “The hypothesis of a cover up having been instituted as collateral (as it were) to an entirely different affair speaks volumes to me.”

What a find!
Straight out of the horses' mouths and an absolute classic!
We know full well that politicians never give a straight answer to a sensitive question. The trick to interpretation is afterwards to decide the question which best fits the answer they have just given.
These video clips are pure gold. A thousand thanks.

Hi
"Kate’s "Police don't want a murder in Portugal and all the publicity about them not having paedophile laws here, so they're blaming us”, sounds to me like a mother trying to convince people that her daughter is murdered by a paedophile, and therefore like a mother who knows her daughter is dead."
Correct on both counts in my estimation. For me KM's second phrase does not sit comfortably with the initial clause. It reads like a 'forced marriage' between two ideas wedded more from necessity than natural association.
Kind regards

"Operation Grange were no slouches when the M3 scandal broke in Barcelona."
And for whose benefit, really, was that photo-shoot of the Met's finest wheeling boxes away from M3 offices I wonder?
Kind regards

His blood-soaked body was found stuffed in a chest-high freezer in the Algarve resort of Albufeira in September last year.

Kate McCann in “Madeleine”
(20 September 2007)
“Brian had suggested bringing in Rogério because he felt we needed additional legal support in Portugal. Gerry and I spent some time on our own with him in another room, basically to get to know him a little, and vice versa, and to familiarize him with our perspective on matters.”
(...)
“Rogério would represent me in Portugal while Carlos continued to act for Gerry.”

One of the quickest to reveal the full story was a 34-year old human rights activist, Richard Wilson. He was baking a banana cake in his kitchen in London when he first found out about the gag on the Guardian from a message posted on Twitter.
A few minutes of frantic internet searching later he published the fact that the gag related to Farrelly's questions about Trafigura. He also published the text of the questions itself and became so absorbed in cracking the puzzle, his cake burned to a crisp. He said it was a small price to pay.
Goodnight. Mx

Although the main focus of the Safety Board’s investigation was the crash’s cause, the agency will also address several other important questions surrounding the crash.
Among these will be why MH17’s flight path took it over the Ukraine conflict zone. Ukraine kept its airspace open to passenger flights at an altitude deemed high enough to be safe, and some airlines were still using it, but many routed traffic around the area.

"I would like as a resident of Praia da Luz to comment on Mr. Tony Goodbody's remark about the inefficiency of the Portuguese police. I was one of the first people to arrive at the scene of the dissapearance of the little girl. The first thing that we and the police were told was that the little girl got out of the apt. herself to look for her parents. This is a small village with a tiny police force and without any means. Within a few hours more than 150 police and other forces were on the scene and as far as I am concerned, they did their utmost to find this girl. Your comment is a bit ridiculous when it is a known fact that the British secret service were on the trail of the July bombers and let them go with the tragic consequences we all know."
I have Chuck, and so has Martin and I concur.
To wit.
How she does it I cannot presume to know, but do please convey my sincere thanks (I might have done so personally but didn't wish to clog up the area with just a 'thank you' note).
Of very particular interest (to me) is the concluding sentence concerning the July bombers, and how Barend Weijdom in particular knew 'as a fact' that the British Secret Service were on their trail. Did that trail embrace the Portuguese Algarve I wonder?
Kind regards
Martin R.
