The Grubs: Bit of a suprise that love isn't it?

A source close to Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry, said last night: “It’s true, there haven’t been any phone calls at all from David Miliband, which has been a surprise to be honest. Margaret Beckett went out of her way to get in touch, even breaking off from important talks in Washington, to telephone Kate and Gerry and let them know she could count on her help."

Nice to know that Anglo-American relations were put on hold. What did she say to Kate, "Hang on a tic luv"...then call out to fellow delegates, "Don't start the war without me"?

"Even Gordon Brown has Gerry’s mobile number"

Good. He can give it to Social Services. I've got McCann's number too. So have a lot of people.

“If I were Kate and Gerry, I would have expected something but there hasn’t been anything.”

She is right. If I were Kate and Gerry I would have expected something. However if I were Bob and Gladys living on the Jasmine Allen Estate, I would have expected social services banging on my door.

"Their only focus is on doing everything they possibly can to get Madeleine back.”

As opposed to doing everything they possibly could to lose Madeleine in the first place.
