Those that have tolerated my witterings on here over the Months will probably recal that I have opined this previously. I still fear that Kate and Gerry McCann will avoid both a Trial and, indeed, any charges of any kind.

Now before you start thinking that I've taking to emulating our resident exacerbater- at- large, Tiberius 7, hear me out.

The true secret of disinformation is to both vary its tune and its frequency. Which is why, for periods of time, the Press will publish on a daily basis, the unequivocal rubbish as produced by those intrepid heroes, Metodo 3. Before you can manage to get your head around yet another sighting in Morocco, you get hit with a new witness from Portugal. Half way through digesting that, you learn that Maddie is alive and well and on the verge of rescue, except that she is now in Saudi Arabia. Or wherever it was that another witness saw her with Murats girlfriend. Or wife. Or Mother. Or perhaps she's not all that safe and well at all, given that she was stolen to order by a North African paedophile ring.

You see? Before you can assess and determine a lie, you get hit with another. And another.

Irrespecive of what truly happened on, or around the 3rd May, there have been some reported constants. Some notions that have remained unchanged.Namely, that the Portuguese suspect the McCanns of being complicit in the disappearance of their daughter, that there does appear to be some DNA evidence and that there are irregular and contravening statements that possibly implicate the McCanns. Oh, and the McCanns are still arguidos.

There is no question in my mind that, were the McCanns to return tomorrow of their own volition, to Portugal, they would be arrested and the so called 'unanswered questions' put to them. Which means that, by remaining in the UK, they are being offered a modicum of protection.

We have been awaiting the so called 'regoratory letters' for some time now. To be specific, since late September. Around FIFTEEN WEEKS!!!

More to the point, in Mid October, Paulo Rebelo, after taking over the helm in his new position within the PJ, spoke on Portuguese Television. He said then that, like we have heard today, he had been assured by FSS that the samples DID match Madeleine McCanns, and that members of his team were preparing to fly out to re-interrogate the Tapas 7, the regoratory letters having been prepared.

Alas, on the 18th October, Gordon Brown had a 'private meeting' with Jose Socrates about the Madeleine case. Press reports and TV reports at the time state that this meeting was to ensure

"that the police authorities are taking the actions that are necessary and there's proper cooperation between the British and Portuguese police".

That "co-operation" has so far resulted in that plane load of investigating PJ detectives going missing, (presumably on route to the UK via the Bermuda Triangle), and almost daily newspaper reports suggesting that the regoratory letters really are almost ready. Throughout November. And December. Except the Home Office here apparently decided to let the McCanns enjoy Christmas before facing any questions. Although which Christmas and how many of them they failed to elaborate on.

Because here we are, at the end of the first week of the New Year. The papers are still assuring us that 'next week' the PJ are coming knocking. Except theyv'e been saying that for weeks.

Perhaps, when Gordon Brown was alleged to have said he was "preparing the public" for the developments in this case, maybe he was referring to something else. Maybe he was wanting to get the Lisbon Treaty out of the way, maybe he was awaiting the results of another court case, the findings of which he already knew about, the Omagh Case. How on earth could anyone allow those poor McCanns to face a trial built predominantly on DNA evidence already rubbished here in the UK? Not just casting doubts on the validity of but seriously RUBBISHED.

Immediately after the McCanns were made arguidos, the Press here toyed with the idea of the McCanns guilt. Or at least they gave consideration to the possibility that the PJ actually might have had some evidence. The result? The Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, (no less), appeared on TV to tell the Media to "stop speculating and allow us all to return to finding Madeleine"

Presumably, Ms.Smith doesn't consider the daily asanine drivel, purportedly coming from Metodo3, to be speculative or restrictive in the search for Madeleine.

Perhaps, like Clarence and Metodo 3, Mr. Brown feels that the continued daily onslaught of lies and garbage will disorientate the populace to such a degree that we will utterly refuse to believe a further, single word on the matter.
