On Saturday I was watching the F.A. cup final on pay per view at my home in Texas when at half time a video was shown that caught me by surprise.
The video was an appeal to help in the search for 4 year old Madeleine McCann who went missing from the Portuguese village of Praia da Luz on the Algarve whilst the family were on holiday.
Madeleine disappeared on May 3rd and frankly seems to have vanished from the face of the earth. The police have interviewed and released people but seem no closer to finding Madeleine or discovering what happened to her.
A reward of 2.6 million pounds ($5.2,000,000) has been posted
I have a four year old son and this video transmitted so expectedly caused me to reflect on every parent’s nightmare: What if this was my child?
I occurred to me that nothing is impossible; even the possibility that she might have been brought here to the United States.
If this was your child wouldn’t you want everything possible to be checked however remote?

According to the Office of National Statistics Great Britain’s population grew by 185,000 during 2005.
So what you say; but the interesting thing about this statistic is that it is not from a record of births and deaths.
The report states that 380,000 people left Britain in 2005 to make their homes in other countries for more than a year and 198,000 of them were British citizens which is an increase of 25% since 2001.
During the same period 565,000 people arrived in Britain stating an intention to stay for more than one year or an average of 1,500 every day.
The immigration figures (which are better than ten times what they were when the Labour government came to power in 1997) are finally beginning to cause alarm in the deeply carpeted corridors of power with the Immigration Minister Liam Byrne making a somewhat contradictory statement. He stated that while globalisation and migration had made Britain richer it had “deeply unsettled” the country. He further stated that the policy risked damaging poorer parts of the community and hindered Labours attempts to improve education standards in deprived areas.
I think the Americans have a word which sums this situation up perfectly; “Duh”
Could it be possible that the British Citizens (myself included) leaving the country have already reached that conclusion and (reluctantly) no longer see much of a future in their homeland?
It doesn’t take a mathematician to work out what will happen if this trend is allowed to continue and from my experience most people in Great Britain did not need this report because they could see it in their communities.
The ethnic mix in the country does not upset the endemic population nearly as much as the storm trooper environment of political correctness which effectively places them into the category of second class citizens. The government is right about the educational problems but they don’t seem to understand the situation and how it affects the endemic population. How do you educate bright students when the process is stunted by other students who arrive into the system without the ability to speak the language and largely due to the atmosphere of political correctness have no incentive to master it?
There are now ten times the numbers of people who no longer see a future in Great Britain than there was when I left for some of the same reasons less than a generation ago and the endemic population is now beginning to vote with its feet. I remember conversations with my parents who (quite rightly) said that “whatever was happening in England would probably happen wherever I was going” and my answer was that the difference is that at least I was accepting whatever situation I was going to rather than have it foisted upon me.
