Madeleine is still missing. Parliament is being lobbied, MPs are wearing yellow ribbons. A fund has launched. Prayers are being said, and David Beckham has appealed for her safe return. Up next, NATO will be scrambled, the FBI will storm Portugal, Bruce Willis will Tarzan on a burning hosepipe through the hotels of the Algarve, and Bring Maddy Home will be emblazened upon the side of the moon in burning letters ten kilometers high.

Didn’t they just used to print missing kid’s photos on the side of milk cartons?
