--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
OK.
My original posting, 'Gordon Brown Investigates' clearly stirred up some healthy debate, and I was beaten to it by more than one savvy member who suggested we contact our respective MP's. I am here, reproducing the letter that I submitted to MY Conservative MP. I have since spoken to him by telephone, and although he wishes to remain anonymous, he assures me that there is quite a bit of uneasy feeling in the Conservative Party about Mr. Brown's involvement in this matter, and he feels that it is probably only a 'question of time' before the matter is brought to a head within political circles. I am NOT a politico, so can not and do not want to comment on that aspect.
This is NOT a question of the McCanns guilt or innocence. It is a question of just how much the Government of this country is truly enforcing the Political pressure that the Portuguese all claim. We either have to consider that the Government IS up to some dirty tricks, for whatever reason, or we have to join that bastion of Journalistic excellence, Tony 'Glenda' Parsons, in calling for the Portuguese 'bumpkins' et al to keep their 'sardine munching mouths' shut.
Here it is. Copy, delete, modify, alter, print and wipe your ass+++ at will. But SEND it! To Conservative MP's AND Labour/Liberals/.

Dear
The disappearance of Madeleine McCann has unquestionably become the most heart rending, perplexing and complicated case in recent years. There can not be anyone who would not dearly love for her to be found safe and well and reunited with her parents.
However, it is unequivocally clear that there is much contention, conflict and potentially irreparable damage being caused between the two countries concerned, Britain and Portugal, much of which appears to have been effected by the Government of this country, including the current Prime Minister, Gordon Brown.
This case is surely unique in the annals of Legal history, not least because it is unquestionably the first time that two official suspects in a serious criminal case have ever been appointed the Director of HM Government Media Monitoring Unit to act as their mentor and spokesperson, effectively from as early as when Madeleine McCann first disappeared, not to mention being permitted to form a Business COMPANY in order to raise remuneration from sympathetic members of the General Public.
Furthermore, whilst it is neither prudent nor legally permissible to specifically comment on particular aspects of the case, it is a matter of common knowledge that the Portuguese Authorities have never placed any significance on the alleged sighting of an ‘abductor�?made by Jane Tanner on the night of May 3rd. 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�?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 am, as should every one else in this country, be reliant on one of our oldest British bastions, that we are all deemed to be innocent until proven guilty.
However, it is abundantly obvious that every Media outlet in the UK is operating under an Editorial policy being dictated to outside of the normal realms of their respective journalistic circles. Every week, either in the newspapers or as part of some ’documentary�? another retired British Police officer appears to explain in detail how, not only are Kate and Gerry McCann entirely innocent of all suspicions being levied by the Portuguese, but that the PJ themselves are clearly incompetent ,ineffective and are solely responsible for the failure of Madeleine McCann being found. The most damning statements were made by Lord Stevens of Kirkwhelpington, the former Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and Gordon Browns Senior Advisor on International Security Issues. He stated that the McCann’s were clearly the “victims of a witch-hunt�?
Such diatribes are frequently printed and spoken in the British media, often with outrageous and clearly xenophobic abuse attached, levied at the Portuguese. Do you not find it outrageous that Home Secretary Jacqui Stevens should appear on BBC television, asking for an end to ’Media Speculation�?and to concentrate on finding Madeleine?; when the Portuguese Police have not only stated their belief that Madeleine died on the May 3rd, but that her parents, are two of the official suspects in her disappearance?
It is no secret that Gordon Brown has made innumerable personal telephone calls to Mr. McCann throughout this case. Whilst, officially, these calls are stated to have ceased when Mr. McCann was made an official ’Arguido�? it is non-the-less obvious that Gordon Brown continues to play some roll, quite possibly a pro-active one, in this whole matter.
It is not inconceivable that Kate and Gerry McCann were complicit in the disappearance and possible death of their daughter. It is inarguable that they were culpable of what is decreed to be abandonment of their children, both under Portuguese and UK legislation.
There is an increasing number of people in this country, (and certainly the majority of those in Portugal), that suspect that our Prime Minister and the Labour Party in general, is involved in either some clandestine cover up, at worst, or at least, extending privileges and advantages that would not be proffered to other people in the McCann’s situation.
Whether that is the case or not, I feel it essential that the Prime Minister clarifies his position and involvement with regards to the McCann’s, because irrespective of the final outcome of this case, its repercussions may have consequences for us all.
Yours sincerely,

Thanks Spudgun, it's so detailed and concise - shame supermarkets won't stock it at the checkout. I'm trying to think of ways of spreading the word! Thanks again, I've been struggling with the wording of mine but yours reads brilliantly.

Superb Spudgun - glad to see your MP is saying that there is a lot
of unease about this case. Perhaps if we all send this letter we
may eventually get some answers?

I wrote to my (Conservative) MP about Parsons article, also pointing out other xenophobic articles. Here is the reply:
______
Dear...
Thank you for your email regarding a recent article in the Daily Mirror about the Portuguese reaction to the Madeleine McCann case as well as your concerns that it is xenophobic in content. I read your points and the article with interest.
You will understand that, as a Member of Parliament, it would be inappropriate for me to comment directly on individual ongoing legal investigations. Parliament's role is to set the overall legal framework in the UK and to ensure that it functions correctly.
I therefore suggest that if you have a complaint about the way in which the Portuguese have been portrayed by the UK media that you complain to the Press Complaints Commission. Please find enclosed some information about the Press Complaints Commission, which I hope you find of use.
....................
MP

Well yes, I'm rather glad too. If what he says is correct, there is indeed some unease within the Party that Gordon could well be risking the reputation, (such that it is!) of the UK.

Spudgun,
What about those who wish to protest but are not in the uk. And do you have an email address.
On reflection my email address could be from the uk so would you let meknow where to send my protest.

Spudgun,
Don't forget because it is one aspect of the case that really riles me. Have friends relatives etc who can really annoy them.
Am willing to really annoy with a barrage of emails.

Super Letter Spud, but for those wanting to copy it you might want to change "Home Secretary Jacqui Stevens" to "Home Secretary Jacqui Smith"
