First the story from the Mail.

"Accompanied by the family's campaign manager, Justine McGuinness, Mr McCann will discuss tackling child abduction with experts from the National and International Centres for Missing and Exploited Children.

He is to meet with US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales today between 12.30 and 3pm Washington DC time (between 5.30 and 8pm British time).

A McCann family spokesman said: "They want to deepen their knowledge of the legislative position in the US.

"Part of what they are thinking is that, looking further down the track, they want to try and persuade various European authorities, both at the national level and the EU level, that they should look to a more integrated process similar to that in the US.

"The laws in each EU member state are all different. Given the trafficking aspect of the issue, they would like to find a template which they could then encourage the EU member states and the EU itself to adopt."

It means literally, as per Oxford Dictionary, to manipulate a
situation etc to gain advantage.
A person who applies this practice is known as a gerrymanderer.

OK, OK, maybe there was no call for that, but seriously just looking at this picture makes me want to whack him. At what point will the fact that his and his wife's actions have directly led to their girls disappearance actually going to sink in??

And 2 other things to note in this pic.

1) Where is the find Madeleine shirt?

2) Where is the find Madeleine luggage tags that his neighbours designed? ( thanks Dolly K for pointing that out)

Yet again Gerry follows the do as I say, not as I do rule.

I see a dark future for the USA if the borders are not closed.

"UK floods to worsen as water levels rise"

Gosh, I'm glad I've got The Telegraph to make that clear to me.

As a "fundamentalist" Christian I stand on GOD's commandment "Thou shall NOT murder"!!! Is this the place where we differ from Jihad terrorist murderers? Perhaps...BUT...

I see a sad similarity.

It was out of Christian Fundamentalist "pro life" objection to babycide (via Abortion) of God's children in self-centered human female's wombs, that some deplorable "anti-abortionist" violence (terrorism ?!?) grew, to the point that abortionist's lives were targeted, and abortion clinics were bombed. (I am NOT violent, and pro life)

Are muslim FUNDAMENTALIST murderers so unfathonable to violent Christian anti-abortionists ??? Self-righteous murderers all !!!

As a FUNDAMENTALISTS Christian I believe there are FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES; but can you express them?

Yet a critical piece on them by the Express yesterday that suggested an inquiry might be launched to look into the McCanns behaviour that night, and no other paper mentions it. Not even a peep (sans the Evening Standard who then turned the story on its head to say how a 'smear campaign' against the McCanns was taking place)

Balanced reporting as usual from the British media.

(and need I go into how the Evening Standard completely changed the tone of their story yesterday from the morning's online edition to that which appeared in the afternoon. How suspicious is that?)

In terms of damage this is probably the worst disaster to have hit this country since the last war and yet as far as I know the government's only financial committment has been to promise to spend £14m on disaster relief which, no pun intended, is a drop in the ocean.
This disaster is going to take billions of pounds in order to restore some normality to the lives, property and businesses of those affected.
Come on Mr Brown, get your finger out!

Now look people is it true what I have just heard that Feed the Children is a scam to line their own pockets.

85% go to their expenses,If they would stop doing all those commercials,Jet Plane trips,Limo Services the children would be fed.

So you send them 10.00 and they go buy a Banana for the child and they go buy a good steak.

Does this make any sense,don't they need a reform..
Vote for ME and I'll change the way they use this MoNeY..

Will it remain feasable for those houses in regions susceptible to floods to be insured against flood damage? Or will the insurance premiums go up so much the home owners might find it difficult to find buyers to sell their houses to? Would that eventually affect house prices? Cheers.

They were removed after the first of the year, with a promise of something 'better'. It is apparent to me that Yahoo! is more interested in censorship, than profits. This will be their financial downfall. Too bad, as Yahoo! used to be so much better!

Madeline's parents have broken the law by leaving young kids unattended. Even if she hadnt been kidnapped she could have accidentally injured herself in the flat alone. The parents are obviously too irresponsible to look after children so do you agree that their other children should be put in care to ensure that they are never left alone again?
