Madeleine McCann cops ask Home Office for more money to continue search for missing child

is something like this possible?

Your a head of a police department with constant cuts.
Your department is in charge of a high profile case, which the current government is happy to throw cash out.
You falsify figures, making it look like its spent on the case but its used instead to keep officers on the beat etc?

possible?

It would be interesting to know how the financing of the police works. You would assume the salaries of the investigators are already budgeted for, and if they weren’t looking for Madeline they would be looking for other missing people.

The most logical explanation may be that the money is for expenses for travel etc, paying private investigators or paying for overtime. Maybe the money is keeping investigators from being made redundant?

The money pays for those specific posts and associated expenses, so that they don't come out of the regular budget. If they weren't on this specific operation they would indeed be doing something else, but those other jobs still need to be done and their "regular" posts filled, which is what's budgeted for.
 
Any normal child murdering parents would have let this blow over years ago but oh no, not the pesky McCanns, when it dies down they have to regurgitate it again to to rub the polices faces in it.
"You'll never get us copper, come on give it another go".
 
What's so special about Madeline McCann?

I can guarantee that this subject doesn't last long over at Digital Spy General Discussion

Have we reached McCann Bingo yet? I think we're still missing a post asking why they haven't been prosecuted for child neglect.
Because they're middle class with connections

If she was found alive and well she'd become a major celebrity and there'd be a huge media circus about it with films made about it, books written about it, countless interviews, charities named after her and dix pages about it everyday in the newspapers all saying the same thing for two weeks and the news papers'd make it out to be a major internationally historically important event like the death of Hitler and the BBC and ITV news'd be on all day about it.

When I was living in London there were tons of kids from that kind of age upwards making their own way to school - there was a bus stop right across from where I lived you'd see dozens of them getting on in the morning unattended.

Dunno about around here as I live a bit out of the way of the regular school runs.

There is a huge difference though between that and a toddler aged child left alone in a building.

I used to walk home from school on my own before I was a teenager in the 70s/early 80s

Crackers how long this is going on/being funded for. How much would have been spent if the family were from a sink estate I wonder?

None at all.
They'd be demonised in the media, have their other kids taken into care and prosecuted.

Give me Jerry, a blowtorch, a study chair, 4 large cable ties and 15 minutes = 1 confession + 1 grave location.

Oh, boring. I've read about torture methods and go into a few details about what whipped around the fleet or kissing the gunner's daughter and let him be tortured meant.

Special enough to sign up to a computer overclocking forum just to add post after post about her?

I like Kronenbourg 1664 too, although I prefer craft beers e.g. double IPA and milk stout.

Kronenbourg is still a damn sight better than the glorified **** that is Carling and Fosters.
 
I'm not sure whether I find this thread depressing or reassuring.
It demonstrates that not all posters here are racists - which is reassuring :)
However, it also shows that there are posters who have absolutely no empathy or humanity - which is depressing :(

Seriously, some of you scum should crawl back under the stones from which you have emerged.
 
This "case" seems to be going on forever. They don't spend this much money searching for other missing people (of which there are many), they need to draw the line somewhere surely.

12 million could improve the lives of many people.
 
Are the police even still looking? after all of this time and nothing to show it just seems like they've monetised the tragedy in order to gain extra government funding. They'll probably still be asking for money to look for her in 2120.

Yeah it is pretty depressing. Imagine mummy and daddy taking you to a place where there's nothing for kids to do, and then waking up in the middle of the night and mummy AND daddy have both disappeared, and if you survive you hear on the news that they abandoned you so they could party all night and gorge themselves on cheap tapas. Poor Maddie. :'(
