Where does this leave the accusations against the Portuguese Police that they were "FRAMING" the McCanns in order to "PROTECT TOURIST IN THE ALGARVE" - Today's revelation in the British press: " Kate’s race to escape prison - KATE McCann fled Portugal after police tried to throw her in jail for abandoning Maddeleine, it was revealed last night "
http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/21221
"Scotland Yard detectives supported Portuguese police moves to name her parents as suspects"
"The Brit officers were consulted about naming the McCanns, both 39, as suspects and agreed it was the right way forward "
(Scotland Yard said:) "There is no way any officer would make that decision unless they believed it was wholly necessary as a crucial part of the investigation."

NOTE: this is a question about the McCanns as part of an ongoing but interesting debate. If you're fed up of the McCann saga just GO!

Is this a serious policy announcement or is it just a good example of a slimey politician telling us what we want to hear in order to get elected?

After David Cameron's heroic speech at the tory conference and the sheer strength of character he has shown when being 11 percentage points behind Labour in the polls has he shown us that he has the true blue bulldog spirit that will see him become one of our greatest leaders after he wins the next election?

I received a violation notice today, but I haven't answered any q's for 4 days, I do not believe in being abusive as that would be infantile. The violation notice didn't even say what answer was in violation of community guidelines.

I have come to the conclusion that this place is inhabited purely by trolls and sad lonely people who are just full of anger and are fed up with their solitary lifestyle.

I won't be back.

I have been on Yahoo Q and A since Jan and lately I have find it’s gone to the dogs, it’s like a youth club full of idiots spouting absolute crap. Users who are bullies and absolute psychopaths seem to have followers who lap up their waffle. Certain users who I always thought were decent honest people are going a long with it all. Come on people just have a look at some of the questions that are asked on here is this really what you want to be participating in? I am referring to current news and events and not for one moment suggesting all users are behaving like this. I shall wait for all the abuse.

Begining to loose their.......
Minds?
Cool?
Self respect?

Looking through some of the questions I find myself horrified by the vile, vicious and quite frankly mentally unstable attacks from the people who claim to be the more level headed amongst us!

Before the insults start, this question is not directly about the McCanns, it is more about the effect the whole thing is having on some people.

Discuss........

I think he would have been better not to have advertised the fact he drives without special branch protection.He must be a prime target for Moslem terrorists, sorry we are not allowed to say "Moslem"until he wins the election again,so shall we just say simply "animal rights terrorists" I did"nt see anyone with them,otherwise like any police they could have sorted out their problem with the cameramen.So I would say Maam,please see your Grandson is better looked after

We read that the size of the Portuguese Police team dealing with the McCann case has shrunk from 200 down to 3. With a drastic winding down of resources, does it mean that Kate and Gerry have got away with it, Madeleine will remain missing and apart from Kate Gerry no one will ever what happened to her ?

Take the case of Newport, (you can read it for yourself, but you might get sick... http://www.dailypress.com/news/dp-now-sexcrimeplea1004,0,5970685.story?coll=hr_tab01_layout

The judge allowed a plea deal to go thru that made it so a man who had 6 counts of indecent liberties with children (read: molestation) and would have gotten 45 years, got all 45 year SUSPENDED. That's right, he won't spend even a single day behind bars!

So what should we do about these? It's egregious, and it's been happening a lot. We've all heard about the cases in both Main and Ohio, how long can this go on?

How can people like George Bush, the Condalezza Rice and so many other people call Islam the Religion of peace?? All over the world, where Islam comes in, persecution, war, violence, and hatred spreads. Just look at Somalia, Serbia, the ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST, the Indonesian area, England, France, even inside the United States of America. And some people say that these people are only the "radical Muslims", but if that is true, then almost all of the Muslims all around the world fall into under that label. It was even said by a Muslim (i forget his name), that not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims. I know that not all Muslims are the terrorist kind, and I know this isn't really a question, but....... what do you think?
