Yes, let’s hope so. Obviously they’ve pointed out that it’s unlikely to have a positive outcome given that so much time has gone by. I suppose the main point is that the Mcs will feel everything possible has been done once the case has been treated as it would have been in the UK.

Computers! We had a new network, new computers and new software installed a few weeks ago. There were all sorts of problems and I was out of touch for a good while, but the relative kindly doing the job actually got really hooked on Anorak while staying with us, having seen the Anorak link on a couple of our computers. Ironic since it was just as I was feeling less inclined to think this topic worthwhile until there is more real news. Still, I’ve been popping in and out more again recently.

I’d like to hope for real news. I hope the decision does reflect a genuine belief that there is more to be done and is not just a response to the public’s sympathy for Madeleine and her parents. (Election time!) I hope that, having asked him to review the case, Johnson accepts Gamble’s view. Little point in the review otherwise.

Your link therefore was interesting….. lets hope a new investigation by fresh eyes happens very soon.

I’m not sure if this is appropriate here as it’s not linked with Hewlett story. However, I’m sure you’ll remove it promptly if not suitable, or move it elsewhere.

(It’s from that well-known reputable and serious source of truth, the NOTW, so I’m sure we can believe every syllable.)
