Everybody in the country is an expert, and every journalist is an expert
squared.

Fact:- Nobody knows what has happened apart from the perp, any accomplices
and the poor little girl. All the rest is bollocks. Why can't we all shut
up and let the police do what they have to do? Anyone deeply concerned
should find a convenient church and pray. That might help them, although I
doubt it will help the litttle victim.

Why can't we all shut up, you ask.

The parents won't shut up, and I don't really blame them. They believe that
if they keep the case in the public eye and don't let the story off the
front page, then people are more likely to see their child in the street and
rescue her.

The press won't shut up - they keep searching for some new angle, some new
development and they have sunk to appalling depths by slandering the names
of those who have been questioned, so as to make it appear that even if they
aren't guilty of this crime they are most likely guilty of other, unspoken
crimes.

The MPs compliantly express their sympathy and wear yellow ribbons, when
that is a futile populist gesture designed to boost their votes.

Eventually everyone will get bored with the story and everyone will shut up.
And that might be all for the best. This can't be the only little girl who
has gone missing never to be found again.

Meanwhile the BBC reports that shysters have set up web sites with
similar names to the "Maddy" one, so as to cash in on the bandwagon
now worth millions.

Don't blame them for one second. If you decide to use the internet,
then you must take everything the internet gives you in return.
