Tory MP John Redwood attacks the McCanns lies

Fury as Vulcan attacks
By Bob Roberts Deputy Political Editor 12/09/2007

Tory MP John Redwood launched a vicious attack on the parents of Madeleine McCann yesterday.

He said Kate and Gerry were more interested in spinning to the media than finding their daughter.

And he asked where was the evidence to back the abduction claim.

Mr Redwood, a senior adviser to David Cameron, is dubbed the Vulcan for his Spock-like appearance.

On his internet blog he said: "Maybe they should employ a private detective rather than a spin doctor.

"Their theory the girl was abducted needs evidence to support it.

"Were there no screams or disturbances as the little girl was taken?

"Did no one see her at any point as she was carried away? Why has no one seen her since, despite the massive awareness campaign?"

Mr Redwood said it was a "heartrending story" but added: "The truth remains a casualty."

Kate's furious dad Brian Healy, from Liverpool, said last night: "This is clearly out of order and I'm very angry. What right has he got?"

Gerry's sister Trish Cameron, who is helping the couple settle back home in Rothley, Leics, said: "I wouldn't be dignified if I made a response."

Labour MP David Taylor, who lives nearby, said: "It is unwise for MPs to get involved in criminal cases."

Mr Redwood's attack was in marked contrast to the Government's response.

Gordon Brown ensured the McCanns got support from the British consul.

Mr Redwood was unavailable for comment last night.

Comment: His official website is also unavailable...Don't say that's been abducted as well! Google cache of the blog page here.

UPDATE: Then we have Boris Johnson sitting on the fence with this Madeleine McCann saga reflects our society
