Come on, 'fess up. How many of you actually thought that the girl who looked nowt like Madeleine McCann would actually turn out to be her? You might as well have sent a picture of Kris Akabusi to the cops and said "Is this her?"
Aside from the obvious question "why the pissing hell were you taking snaps of the locals?" you just know once the Spanish bird got them developed she was like "Hold on el momento, that looks slightly less than 5% like old McCanno - I reckon we could flog this to the press for a shitload of liras". They saw the fleeting chance of stardom and took it, the sick bastardos. Who knows, they might have even thought it was her and took the picture, but I'll bet you a sizable some that they were humming the Spanish equivalent of "I'm in the money" when they took it.
Is this how desperate this search has become? Another blond child (albeit a year or so older than Maddy) is spotted in Morocco so it's all over the papers for 24 hours? Jesus Harold Christ if that isn't a straw-clutching fest. I do genuinely feel sorry for the little mite but these sort of cry wolf efforts are going to turn the public cynical double quick. Hands up who thinks the press only published it to flog papers?
Anyway, I for one hope she is found, and maybe she'll be able to tell us what happened (best news conference ever, I'm sure you'll agree) but in all truth this will turn out to be another Ben Needham case, and we might as well pack up and concentrate on something we've got more chance of achieving, like winning in Iraq or summat. Sad but true.
