6 Months to find Maddy - Daily Express

There was a small article in the Sun today regarding this,Desmond has it front page,he wants his money back,won't see a penny of it though.

I thought it was the whole year not 6 months?

I too thought it was for the whole year. I've just copied this from the Home Office official site so if you take into account the new financial year started in April for 2015/16 what are going to spent £2M on to the end of March?


FOI release 33146

The Home Office has provided The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) £1.9m in 2011/12, £2.8m in 2012/13 and £2.6m in 2013/14.

We expect the costs for 2014/15 to be broadly in line with previous years. The Home Office have paid £639k so far in 2014/15 towards the costs of this investigation.

So for the next 6mths, double the amount of money will be spent more than usual? Is that right? Hmm, that's not in line with the previous years, is something going to happen?

From the article upthread.

It did say "6 months" in the Sun article I posted yesterday.

The 6 months does not appear in the original Home Office statement, so far as I have been able to see.
But the article does, YET AGAIN ram home the fact that the McCanns are, and probably therefore have been for some time, taking money OUT of the "Fund".
Do the other Directors know ?
How is it going to be covered in the Annual accounts.
Is the account into which it is being paid subject to control by the Directors, or is it a private account for the McCanns' sole use.

THINK AL CAPONE ! !

No reply from the Spokesman ?
Has he been silenced for blabbing ?

It seems that, like so may times in the past, we've got an answer/explanation before we heard the question ...

One thing I've noticed,no mention of abduction in all the recent news stories,(or non news stories),another thing have any one from OG said any thing.

Since DCI Wall took over we have seen her once, in Portugal with Redwood. And that is it.
They are clearly doing something in their offices and behind their computers
and whatever that something is does not involve an active search for a living child
nor apparently for mortal remains
nor for further forensic evidence
nor does it involved interviewing suspects or witnesses
SO
It must be something else
and that something else must be sufficient for DCI Wall to convince the Det Ch Supt,
and then the Det Commander,
and then the finance department
and then the Commissioner
and then the Home Office
that a further £2m, on top of the £10m already spent
is a good investment, and likely to produce a result.

This is the sort of money that the PM can legitimately be asked about at PMQs.
He has to have an answer ready on his crib-sheet

Good point, PeterMac! I don't think they can quietly wind all this up now, and see all this money disappear down a big black hole. They'll need to come up with something to justify it all. And they certainly wouldn't be throwing good money after bad by committing another £2m if they weren't 100% sure of getting something back at the end of it.

There has been no questions for £10 million spent why would there be for £12 million?

So where's this now 6 month time limit come from....

That would be until March.

I noticed one of the reporters in the Express article, is Tracey wots her face. Kates gym buddy.

Are team McCann telling everyone that it will finish in 6 months (so get ready to put your hands in your pockets again)

Or are OG (and PJ) confident that within the 6 months they will have enough evidence to charge.

And it really will be the end.

£13 million spent on Maddie McCann case surely its time to close it down and prioritise other cases? Agree? Listen http://www.jongaunt.co.uk/2015/09/18/mccann-investigation-waste-of-money-bbc-levylearning-english-and-boris-the-luddite-ep-151/ …

Listen on above link.

Just a question, who funds the Portugal investigation? Has there been any complaints from there?

I was thinking that myself, DDL.

In terms of how much they've actually spent and why there's never any mention of it.

Kept in a fridge.

Covered up the death to try and avoid prosecution.

Wasn't sure where to stick this, so move it if you want..

.... Portuguese investigation marred with blunders from the start. According to that

Sorry I canot recall where this was posted, but it seems to fit

In the case of missing Madeleine however, there are two live police investigations and there are no signs that the police,
either here in the UK or in Portugal are looking for a live child, a paedophile gang or a lone abductor. 
There is not now, and never has been, any urgency in what they are doing - if they believed Madeleine was alive and other children were at risk,
then catching the 'abductor' would be their top priority, and they wouldn't take 4+ years to do it. 
If another child were abducted or murdered in the meantime, then their laissez faire attitude would be unforgivable. 

Well quite ! Number of children abducted in the 10 years Before Madeleine. NIL.
Number of children abducted in the 8 years Post Madeleine. NIL.
(Number of Madeleines abducted. NIL)
Grange and the PJ are clearly doing "something", and the McCanns do not know what it is, as we do not either.
But by a process of simple observation and then logical elimination we can say with some certainty what they are NOT doing.

That was from Cristobell, Peter. http://cristobell.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/somethings-gotta-give.html#comment-form

Its a myth about six month's nothing in the question and answer, looking at it,six months left in the current financial year regarding OG.

Mitchell nonsense.

Are you saying that takes them up until the end of June 2016 which is 9 months away ?

Also I wanted to know what this `Special Grant` is and where it comes from.  Just found this

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/home-office-emergency-funding-provided-to-police-forces/home-office-emergency-funding-provided-to-police-forces

End of June 2016 is nine months,end of March which is the end of the financial year is roughly 6 months from now the £2 million is from the start of April,that is if they run to financial yrs like most companies,why else write 2015/2016 if they don't mean this.when a government sets its spending its April til April.
Or are they saying their funding yr is June to June in which case its nine months like I say.

Some one is spinning it that its only got 6 months to run,and there is only one spin king out there.
