Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday

Sentiment aside I think it's worth pointing out that neither Bob Geldof nor Bono offer financial recompense to anyone with the explicit caveat that the distribution of same is wholly dependant on "the safe return" of anyone. I think the turn of phrase is "hedging your bets".

Not being a betting man I find it somewhat bizarre, though entirely predictable, that the cult of celebrity has of late been spewing forth do gooders offering money on that basis when, statistically, the chances of Madeline McCann turning up "safe" diminish by the minute.

As far as the McCanns are concerned this is working / will work out to be quite an expensive tapas meal by anyones account - irrespective of the outcome.

I hope the child does turn up safe and well - but, sadly, experience suggests that she wont.
