I do think Ecu that so many of your posts carry such an obvious political bias that people won't want to add their voice....

i think like someone else on fs your comments are a bit missing the point ...

i'm glad you use the word 'bias' cos bias implies being for something ... unfortunately the one thing i am not for is the cosy mess that is not exactly properly analysed and our true disgust and reprehension given political voice

 me i am a bit shocked that so many stories in the media manage to get no attention  whatsoever here on fs that carry substantial interest  within alas a political context that if you are happy with that's your beer ...... hey you certainly don't have to agree with my opinions you should have your own..i'd far rather that these stories were being picked up by others as they indeed have substantial noteworthiness ....... and are in my view of broader political issues... and are of sufficient interest to get conversation on...
silence has a story all of its own... and shoudl get the journalist's well asking questions if they are not then we the people are up the creek which come to think of it we certainly are.....

that aside, I do think this is about image rather than this single tragic case which has been jumped on for years by the media.  There are indeed many missing children,. and every case must be atragedy, so we can ask, why is a very public fuss being made about this case, and since this case happened in another country, would it not be better to made a 'push' for a missing child case in this country.

well tghe removal of the met to work abroad and the like you could have a point

Cameron is doing this for publicity, but can you blame him? 
???? i thought this is the sort of thing the british people don't really like well we didn't before the election with the expenses scandal where people like cameron were given a get out of jail free chrd

We have a child who went missing years ago in another country, yet the parents have been presented to the pope, they have been on the front page of most papers, been on radio and television.  If he does sopmething it's vote grabbing, if he doesn't he's ignoring the plight of this family who obviously have the backing of the whole country......what's a PM to do?
