We, the undersigned, find it wholly inappropriate that a Gordon Brown spin doctor (A.K.A. Director of the British Governments Media Monitoring Unit, Clarence Mitchell) has resigned to immediately become the Official Spokesman for Kate and Gerry McCann, parents who not only regularly neglected their children, but are now suspected of killing Madeleine McCann. The Madeleine McCann case should never have been politicised. The case should only be about seeing justice served for Madeleine.

It is unheard of for British politicians to back possible murder suspects and we understand that Clarence Mitchell had previously been acting as the McCanns media advisor, courtesy of the British taxpayer. We also understand that Gordon Brown has already personally interfered in this case. Would Gordon Brown have interfered in a police investigation if the McCanns worked in a factory or down a coal mine and left three children alone in an unlocked council flat to go down to the pub? Of course he wouldnt.

We urge that due process is allowed to take place without any more British political interference or spin by Clarence Mitchell, which may be construed as a disgraceful attempt to save the face of the British Prime Minister. It is essential, therefore, that Clarence Mitchell immediately resigns as spokesman for the McCanns and a clear separation is made between the British government and the McCanns.

    • It is despicable that the Government and celebrities alike are supporting the parents who clearly neglected their babies and now one of them is missing presumed dead. What sort of message is this sending out to the world? Child abduction could now well become a lucrative business and people will get away with it because "The McCann's did it".

    • The PJ should be afforded all cooperation from the UK Police but must not be interfered with politically. The initial use of Clarence Maitchell as a public employee was wrong. To allow his use in this mannner doubly so. The McCanns do themselves no favours with this huge exercise in PR. Or perhaps they have forgetten that this case is not about them or their new found celebrity but about the daughter they claim to have left alone with her siblings, reason enough for charges of child neglect in itself
