Brits lose their marbles.

The 'Maddy McCann' story never seems to die.
For the past 13 days, we have been subjected to endless commnetary, reports from Portugal on the disappearance of the little girl. Yesterday, the whole episode turned ugly. Some idiots at the palace of Westminster decided to wear yellow ribbons to publicise their' empathy' or 'togetherness' with the McCann family.
The England cricket team taking on the west Indies also lost their fucking marbles and decided top wear yellow ribbons.

I hope they find the child safely and return her to her family. However, this doesn't mean a repeat of the hysterical irrational behaviour witnessed during Diana's death in 1997. Yellow ribbons, millions of pounds for info leading to the child's return, a 'Maddy' fund, special mass at churches etc.
These are some of the signs of weird and baffling behaviour among the British in recent days.

What happened to the stiff upper lip? I'm starting to think it was a colonial myth. Why should the BBC spend half its programme broadcasting from Portugal on this story?
Why not broadcast from eastern Congo? Millions have died there.
What about the Thai/Burma border? Millions are fleeing the evil military junta, yet their story remains unheard in the western world.

What makes Madeleine McCann so special that the nation has taken leave of its senses and are fixated upon the entire ugly events in Portugal?
Millions of kids disappear every year, the media and public don't behave in the manner that they are behaving in now.
This is the last post on this subject, i'm fed up with the events inPortugal.
I hope they find the kid and people come back to their sense soon. For the sake of the nation.
