Madeleine McCann: Leicestershire Police, Jet Trips And Maddie Cops
MADELEINE McCann has not been in the news much of late. But the Mirror can now report that “Maddy cops £22K bill for 196 jet trips”.
Yep, just over £112 for each flight, or jet trip, as the Mirror calls travelling by air. Nto much when you look at like that. But, still, where did the “Maddie cops” fly and what did they discover?
The flights were taken to Portugal by Leicestershire Constabulary from May 2007 to July 2008. The exact cost was £22,055.
The force said:
“Officers used budget airlines.”
Well, yes. and good that they British police took the time and trouble to help in the search for a missing British national. Will they now do the same for all Brits who go missing overseas, or is the media’s Our Maddie a special case?
Revealed under the Freedom of Information Act, the total cost of the first year of the probe to the force was £500,000, most of which will be met by the Home Office.
You can’t put a price on a child…
The search for Shannon Matthews is estimated to have cost the taxpayer £5million.
And Shannon was under the uncle’s bed.
The search for Madeleine McCann has not cost the taxpayer much at all.

One week in and the papers begin Watching The Parents, and to specualte: So the Mirror produces: “THE 6 THEORIES.” Only six! Why this cautious approach? But it is all the Mirror has. And readers hear of the “PAEDOPHILE GANG”, the “LONE PAEDOPHILE”, the “JEALOUS MOTHER”, Madeleine wandering off and “DROWNED”, the “OPPORTUNIST PAEDOPHILE”, the “CHILDLESS COUPLE”. But the Sun has more. It has 130 more. As the front-page headline screams: “MADDIE COPS HUNT 130 BRIT PAEDOS.” The paper says “at least” 130 British paedophiles “might” have taken Madeleine McCann. In “ALGARVE IS ‘HAVEN’ FOR PERVS”, readers learn that Portugal is a “magnet for sun-seeking perverts from Britain and the rest of Europe”.
