The Grubs: On the subject of emails

Pie In The Sky News, has printed some of the alleged emails of support for the McCanns - a bit like the testimonials you see on certain types of "enhancement" websites, which is rather appropriate as I have ever come across a bigger one than Gerry.

"With so many friends of Madeleine's around the world looking for her..."

But not the parents or the family. They are in the counting house, counting out the money.

"Keep her face everywhere and hopefully she will come back to you"

Hopefully Madeleines name will come back to him as well. Sir/Madam, he did keep Maddie's face close to him - he lost that too when he lost his wallet.

"Dear Kate and Gerry, I am writing to you again to let you know that Madeleine and yourselves are still on my mind. "

Oh Gawd - now he is going to have Elvis as background music singing, "You were always on my mind. Maybe that's more appropriate

Maybe I didn't treat you
quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn't love you
quite as often as I could
Little things I should've said and done,
I never took the time

You might be able to buy the present and the future McCann, but you can't buy back and change the past. No matter how many favours you call in.
