Wonder who Mrs. Marple and her band of third age detectives (sharp eyed and clear of mind) will persecute next ?

I do not see an apology anywhere in this article. This man’s personal details, his family, details of his car and his address, have been put into the public domain; he has been forced to take time to clear his name; he had been linked in the press with an investigation into an ‘abduction’ and paedo***, yet there is no apology, either from you or from Karen. He knows he is in danger of being arrested – for the crime of being a family man with a blonde daughter. Are we all now at the mercy of the press feeding frenzy stirred up by the McCanns ? Coming to a beach near you this summer….. !

I intend to phone him this evening to apologise on behalf of most of us, and to reassure him that not all Brits in Spain behave in this way. I am APPALLED at what you have done to this family. This should have been investigated quietly and discreetly, until the full facts were known. I hope you have the good grace to pay whatever you made by syndicating the article to “newspapers around the world in the last few days” (Your words !) to him or with his consent to a proper Charity dedicated to Children. A proper Charity that is.

shameful

Well I for one am shocked, shocked I say. Who would have thought that a little girl could appear disorientated at an unfamiliar camp-site without it being the result of having been kidnapped?

After one’s reporting their “erroneous sighting” to the press/police.. one bears the + and – results of that. While I struggle to understand how he misidentified his own Daughter in his car for Maddie,because his Daughter “appeared distant”… ?! erhhh Law enforcement authorities and Judges have ways of dealing with that.

Dear PM – while your gesture to apologize to this family “on behalf of most of us”
is noted – you should verify if you have that sanction from “most of us”. Trial by Media is not right, but it happens ALL the time, here – in the UK, USA, etc and you may not want to be a part of that.
“Investigation – quietly and discretly” – yes, like the UK did to the French with Diana, like the UK did to the French with Pippa middleton, like the UK did to PM’s & Lords taking Taxpayers’ money as “Expenses” incorrectly to enrich themselves… ad nauseum. Inprison ALL criminals, regardless of “heritage” unless the country ACCEPTS there is one Law for the “Establishment”, another for “the rest”. “Taxation without representation is (STILL!) tyranny”
