As has been said in the past, if the missing child was Senga McClafferty from Govan would the same effort be made?

Aww f**k, is wee Senga missing an aw?

The point being its not money from a policing budget, it can’t be spent on anything other than that enquiry, its not like they’re going to say ‘Well we’ll wind down the Mccann enquiry and just spend the rest on new motors’, thats not how ring fenced funding works. I also gather that its politicians and media pressure ensuring this enquiry continues and not the police, I think its reasonable for the Met to say ‘we cant afford to run this enquiry within our annual budget so if you want it to continue you pay’ to the government.
I do however completely agree with your point about the enquiry being a waste of time/money and that a dangerous precedent has been set, just feel your anger is misplaced.

Aye but it's not ring fenced until they ring fence it.

It's important that they secure the funding now.
With Brexit coming up, they might not be able to afford to investigate in Portugal, and will have to stick to crimes closer to home.

Id sincerely doubt that if it was up to the Met they’d actually want to continue the enquiry unless they were close to conclusion, I agree that its unfair on families in other cases who don’t happen to have access to the media and politicians. Looking back over the things which have come out as this has progressed I can’t believe the family haven’t been charged with some kind of child neglect at the very least!
Brexit will absolutely f**k foreign police enquiries, many will say ‘well look at the money waster on the Mccann investigation’ and whilst I agree there have been many successful but less covered by the media joint investigations.

No the funds were directly given by central government for purposes of that investigation, it was quite well publicised when the Met took over the enquiry because there was a similar outcry.
I'd rather my taxes went to crime prevention in the UK instead of golfing holidays.

Lets get it un ring fenced.

So pleased for the boys out there in the Algarve.

Given that the Met have been blaming escalating knife crime in black communities in London on government cutbacks ,there must have been genuine fears they would all be drafted back there.

They must be elated at this injection of £150k. Just put yourself in their shoes. Would you rather be swanning around in Praia de Luz, looking for clues for missing Maddy, or tackling some drug crazed blacks armed with knives in Shepherds Bush?
