Madeleine

I am relieved to see that after only a week of searching, the Portuguese police have come up with a novel idea: check the CCTV. This is just one example of how Europe's police forces far outstrip our own: I understand that they even have a computer that is able to play DVDs! They have also made great progress in narrowing the suspect down to "an egg with hair". So if we could all look out for one of them...

As usual, the Internet is filled with comments from angelic parents who would "never" leave their child sleeping while they ate dinner within the same compound. Funnily enough, last month I attended the address of a woman who "never" left her six-month-old baby in the care of her twelve-year-old daughter. She told me the same thing the last time I went round. Sometimes the wrong people get lucky.

Let's hope Madeleine is found. More importantly, let's hope there's a cross-border Inquiry. I can think of nothing better for international relations.
