The British media has become so frantic in their coverage of the Madeleine McCann story that they have spawned a Portuguese website devoted to correcting their excesses. Paulo Reis is furious at the allegations that the Portuguese police have been lazy or incompetent. He describes the UK media in the Alagarve and Sky’s Martin Brunt in particular as
“howling blood-thirsty British tabloid journalists, willing to kill – or let someone be killed – to have a story. That’s ok with me, as you keep this low form of life inside your country and don’t export it to Portugal.”
More from Paulo anon, I hope.

As an ex-pat in Greece I have been following the way this story has been developing in the UK – it looks from here like you are really having another Diana moment. Videos at the F.A. Cup Final? Appeal funds raising money that could innoculate hundreds of thousands of children in Africa yet will do nothing to help find the girl in question? It all looks very odd from over here – hasn’t made the news in Greece at all.
