Madeleine McCann investigation: Home Office to give police an extra £150,000

You're definitely not the only one.

At some point, nothing is being achieved by throwing obscene amounts of money at the case and for the time being nothing else can be achieved, especially after so much time has passed. How many children, teens, adults go missing and investigations simply closed without further thought? Happens pretty frequently but this case has become so highly politicised it's hard to distinguish from the likes of cases like Alfie Evans etc. where people's views become so clouded.

I find it amusing that for certain cases, the pragmatic argument of police funding and man hours comes up (which I agree with), but then this comes up and the ideological argument of 'we must carry on investigation' it's suddenly thrown out of the window.
