Eh? I've seen Frozen 433 times and I don't remember any of that.

Poor Suranne is likely to be frozen with utter boredom if she reads Kate's novel.

I await the McCanns' fury that Madeleine's name has been used to promote a commercial venture that will not financially profit them personally.

KATE McCann celebrates her milestone 50th birthday tomorrow and hopes police will continue the search into daughter Madeleine’s disappearance.

Close friends and family will help her mark the special occasion which will be tinged with sadness as the haunted mum is still no closer to knowing what happened to Maddie after nearly 11 years.

A pal said: “Kate’s big birthday is another tough date for her. While celebrations go on there is a always a reminder that Madeleine, who would now be a teenager, almost 15 years old, is still missing.

“Kate’s only birthday wish is to find out what happened to her eldest child and she hopes and prays that police will be granted extra funds to carry on their important work to help find her.”

In a past interview with The Sun she said: “We just want to know if she is alive or dead. The worst thing is not knowing.”

Met Police assigned to Operation Grange have less than four weeks left of guaranteed funding.

They applied to the Home Office mid last month for more money to “pursue one significant final line of inquiry” but as yet no decision has been made.

One of Kate's pals said: “They’re trying to keep her buoyed up and helping her celebrate a significant birthday. It’s a few months of milestones - the twins became teenagers last month, Kate’s turning 50 and Gerry’s 50th birthday is in June.

“While the family’s determined to have fun and enjoy as normal a life as possible, these occasions are marred with a tinge of sadness because Madeleine is not here to join in the celebrations.”

Kate and heart doctor Gerry, 49, of Rothley, Leics, celebrated twins Sean and Amelie turning 13 on February 1 with prayers
too for Maddie “wherever she is.”

Next Sunday Kate will face her 11th Mother’s Day without Maddie - a day she has previously described as painful and “a constant reminder that one of my babies isn’t with me.”

The brave parents cling onto a glimmer of hope that Maddie, who was snatched as a three-year-old, could still be alive.

They believe she was taken by a child trafficker, sex predator or during a bungled burglary at her family’s holiday flat in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz in May 2007.

Family spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “Kate and Gerry are extremely grateful to police for all they have done and are doing in the continued search for Madeleine .

“They are very encouraged that there remains work to be done that requires a request for an extra budget and they remain thankful to the Home Office for considering it.”

The current funding of £154,000 runs out at the end of this month. It is understood cops are seeking an extra £150,000. The inquiry has already cost the taxpayer £11.2million.

And just a tinge of sadness............

I'm reminded of the letters that I did on my printer over the weekend to three separate friends. It was mostly a case of changing the name and a few details only relevant to one of them.

No! I had a subscription with them many years ago, I remember that it was impossible to get an answer when there was a query with it.

I hope that my letters are more interesting than the sycophantic trash that Tracey turns out; to think that she gets paid for it. affraid

Poe Mon 05 Mar 2018, 4:06 pm

Poor old Kate.

Ten years ago, journalists were falling over themselves to wax lyrical about her beauty and now she just gets a standardised press-release announcing that she's hit the big five-0.

That's got to hurt.

lol!

There should be an annual award for the journalist consistently recycling the best trashy articles; my vote would go to Tracey.

It would be a remarkable publishing feat, if true. Most high profile titles don't even earn out their advances.

MADDIE McCann's mum Kate raked in £84k in book sales in the past year - with every penny poured into the search for her missing daughter.

Last year - search. Did I miss something...

Poe Wed 18 Apr 2018, 1:02 pm

Of course they used that money in their search for Madeleine.

So now we can add Portugal's Supreme Court to this list of places where Madeleine isn't.

Stephen Lawrence case shutdown sparks fury after Maddie McCann hunt given more cash

STEPHEN Lawrence supporters have hit out at police for potentially dropping the teen's murder probe – while pumping more cash into the hunt for Maddie McCann.

They want to think themselves lucky that heaven and earth was moved to build a case on the slimmest of DNA evidence, and perhaps wonder why Madeleine McCann isn't deemed worthy of the same respect.

https://www.channel4.com/news/we-have-paid-a-price-a-very-heavy-price

I can't find the actual cost of the Stephen Lawrence investigation but, according to the above article, it was estimated to be around £30 million back in 2012 with £3.8 million spent on forensics alone.

Puts the £12 million spent on Operation Grange into perspective.

Remind us again Cressida dear who was in charge when officers shot an unarmed civilian seven times in the head on the London underground and then you have the gall to say the Lawrence case defined policing,in the words of Dame Lawrence.

If there was somebody to trust (in the Met) they would have put Stephen’s killers away at the time not wait 20 years’.

Every one trusts a copper but can all coppers be trusted.

Scotland Yard confirmed this week more funding was secured for Operation Orange, which has been paid for by taxpayers since 2011, after Portuguese detectives closed their own investigation in 2008.
