Good for you, Totter. Glad to see that someone else thinks the Portuguese police are the pits. They have no place in a modern democratic European society with their shambolic (so-called) secrecy which forbids the suspects to speak at all but allows every knacker of a local newspaper title to have a "police" source for claims, sometimes two claims a day, re: the McCanns and their missing daughter.
It is long past time that diplomats asses were kicked re: how citizens (guests) in a European State were treated.
I keep thinking positive thoughts Maddie will come home. I always remember back at the beginning how her family said she was at the centre of her siblings worlds.
I agree that the sleazy Portuguese should be boycotted in ever small way. They sickened me a country all through this summer.
