   Roger Knapman MEP has asked me to thank you for your email and to reply as he is currently travelling to Strasbourg. First I should advise you, for your own good, to be very cautious about circulating potentially high libellous statements about Kate and Gerry McCann. The law of defamation applies to email and the internet. Secondly your suggestion that the Prime Minister is involved in some sort of conspiracy involving a clandestine cover-up is absurd. It is a wild allegation with no evidence at all. One of the first duties of the British government is to support its citizens abroad. It is therefore entirely correct that the government should do this in the case of Kate and Gerry McCann. One of the elements of this supporty is to protect British citizens against the actions of foreign governments. The Portuguese police and judicial system is known to be suspect. Elements of the police are corrupt and indeed in this case the senior detective involved has been charged with corruption. The Portuguese judicial system does not assume innocence before guilt in the way the British system does and operates an interrogatory process in which people are denounced as suspects without any proof. In this particular case the original police investigation was amateurish and flawed and to date nearly 10 different people have at one time or another been denounced as suspects. It is important to realise that Portugal has no real history of citizen’s rights and liberties or democracy. From the 1920s to the mid 1970’s Portugal was ruled by a fascist dictatorship, first under Salazar and then Caetano. Political opposition was repressed and the police and judicial system was used to achieve this. A stable multi-party democracy only came into existence in the late 1970’s and is still very young. Many of the police were trained under fascism and the institutions still bear the impact of this long period of dictatorship. In all the circumstances it is entirely right that British citizens should be protected against an unreliable foreign system. In any event I think you can rest assured that the British police and intelligence services have long had a better grip on the facts of this case than the Portuguese police. Best wishes Piers MerchantAssistant to Roger Knapman

   heres the original one I sent�?

It is also a matter of common>knowledge, however, that an appeal WAS made for information relating to>this ‘abductor�? both in Portugal and on the BBC’s ‘Crimewatch�?gt;programme, some weeks AFTER the alleged event, as a consequence of the>direct and personal intervention of Gordon Brown. >>Whilst it has never been reported or even intimated in any media outlet>in this country, (at least to the best of my knowledge), much of the>Portuguese Authorities, the Media, the Police and the general populace>of that country are in the belief that Kate and Gerry McCann have been>permitted to avoid the consequences of Portugal’s legal system due to>Political pressure being applied by the British Government. When>Alberto Costa, the Justice Minister, was asked on Portuguese national>television to comment on whether Political pressure was being applied>in this case he refused to comment. >>Additionally, it is commonly perceived and widely reported in Portugal>that the British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, has asked Jose Socrates>that the results of the DNA tests (from Birmingham) are not to be>published immediately in Portugal. Again, on Portuguese TV, Paulo>Rebelo, the current Chief of the Policia Justiciaria in mid October,>explained not only how the DNA results WOULD be published within the>next 24-48 hours, but that a team of Portuguese Detectives, together>with the Portimao prosecutor, were preparing to fly to oversee ‘further>questioning�?of not only Mr. and Mrs. McCann, but the other members of>the party that were in Portugal on the night of 3rd May. >>It is NOT, understandably, perceived as mere coincidence that after>Gordon Brown had ‘discussions�?with Jose Socrates on the 18th October>at the Lisbon Euro Summit, in order to make sure there was “proper>co-operation between the British and Portuguese police,�?that neither>the DNA results nor the Portuguese Police visit materialised. >>I am well aware of the curious and diverse array of Conspiracy Theories>circulating on the Internet, and I do not wish this letter to be in any>way perceived as part of either those writings, nor as part of a>’witch-hunt�?that the British media so like to refer to whenever>anything potentially detrimental is printed about the McCanns.

   I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Immigration: Brown And Livingstone Split, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
