Unbelievable. The funding for the search for Madeleine McCann is about to be given £108,000. I’m fuming about this. There are so many other missing people out there, and their investigations don’t just get £100,000 chucked at them here, there, and everywhere. So why does Madeleine McCann, who I believe is dead, deserve this? It’s outrageous.

Clearly, Operation Grange, which is the official investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, is still ongoing, even though she vanished in 2007. I have to say, the amount of money that’s been spent on looking for that little girl is disgusting. Since 2011, £13.2 million has been given to Operation Grange. But yet there are families in the UK that can’t afford to feed their children. They can’t afford to put the heating on in the winter. Elderly people are struggling, having their winter fuel payments taken away. Disabled people are having their benefits cut. But yet we can keep giving money to Operation Grange.

I’m disgusted and appalled. It really is time that the official investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann is wrapped up. She’s been gone since 2007. If she really is alive, which I highly doubt, she’d be a woman in her 20s now. I could half-understand this if she were still a child, but clearly, she isn’t.

If she really is still alive, I have to say, I’ve never bought the Christian Brückner theory. I’ve always believed that Madeleine McCann is dead, and that she died in that holiday apartment in Portugal. I’ve always believed that her parents gave her some kind of medication to make her go to sleep, and that killed her. Or perhaps there was some kind of other tragic accident in the apartment, where they abandoned her while they went out for dinner with their friends every night on that awful holiday.

And don’t forget this: After Madeleine disappeared, her parents continued to go jogging. They continued to play tennis. Who the hell does that when their daughter is missing? They hardly looked for her. They didn’t go searching for their daughter. Madeleine McCann’s mother, Kate, washed her teddy, which would have taken away Madeleine’s smell—I’ve never been able to get my head around that. And Madeleine’s blood was found in a hire car that the couple hired after Madeleine disappeared. Get your head around that.

When Kate McCann was questioned by the police in Portugal, they gave her a set of over 40 questions, and she hardly answered any of them. If that’s not guilty, I don’t know what is.

Do you believe that Madeleine is still alive? Do you believe she was really abducted? And are you as appalled and outraged as I am that Operation Grange has been given more cash—£108,000, to be precise—to continue the investigation into her disappearance? I have to say, I find it disgusting and such a waste of taxpayers’ money because I believe that Madeleine is dead.
