McCanns: There's no business like show business

McCanns: There's no business like show business

I could not help but notice that this story from the Daily Express is posted under News/ShowBiz which just about sums it up if you ignore the first part. It is not news that Clarence Mitchell has said he believes the McCanns are innocent. It would be news if he said he believed that the McCanns are guilty. Therefore, we are just left with the show business category. The other day I reported that the Home Secretary was interfering with the Portuguese police investigation. Now we have Clarence Mitchell claiming that both the British police and Social Services have said that the McCanns are not suspects. If this is true then they are also interfering with the Portuguese police investigation. Of course, they have not said anything of the sort in public. We only have the word of a spin doctor, who's job it is to twist lies into truth, that they told him this in private. Officially, the McCanns are prime suspects. Never mind stranger danger. The danger to Madeleine was closer to home. She trusted her parents, and they breached that trust.

Meanwhile, as Clarence Mitchell is centre stage he says, "Now for my next trick".

Yawn!

Hat-Tip to Noclue.
