You cannot have missed the news of the missing four year-old Madeleine McCann. It's been all over the papers. It's been the leading item on the news, ahead of the daily carnage in Iraq and the civil war in Gaza.
You cannot fault the McCann family for doing all they can to publicise the abduction. Of course it helps that they have a large, well organised extended family and wealthy friends. If only everyone was so fortunate.
What about thousands of Iraqi girls who have been murdered by the illegal American invasion and occupation? What about the millions of girls who die each year through famine and poverty? Even if you're a Sun reader and therefore don't give a damn about foreigners, what about all the other British girls who have disappeared? Nearly one thousand other British children have gone missing since Madeleine was abducted. Can you name a single one of them? The money raised by the Madeleine appeal is greater the annual budget for the National Missing Persons Bureau.
The most distasteful thing about this case is all the "Great and Good" of the land who have jumped aboard this particular band wagon: businessmen, footballers, musicians, actors, cricketers and politicians. Why?
What makes this one single girl so special?
