Re: Missing in Dubai - timmy maccoll, sailor
It's called sarcasm.
As I said on here many months ago, the family needs to get local MPs involved, so government takes action. Apart from national press coverage, anything else is a waste of time now.
At this stage a few tweets are as useful of ribbons and typing 'BTH' on a FB page. People can do what they like, but stop trying to be all worthy and sanctimonious about it. It's just delusional and self-serving at this stage.

wow. the thread has turned into a twitterati pissing contest with a bit of hair pulling..
to be honest as nobody (in power) really gave a toss in the first 17 weeks or whatever after he went missing this is fairly unlikely to change with a petition or a sentimental youtube video...sorry to break this to you!

I'm just wanting to know who she tweeted?
Did they respond? Do you feel like you have achieved something?

Been watching this thread since the beginning in 'hope' ..
Funny you should talk about who uses social marketing pages etc - a friend was done for drink driving here in EU this weekend & the police used Facebook as their database to find out more about him ... He's now made new friends!!!
But in all seriousness, I'm with you all in UAE, someone in the family should have flown over the first week .. but no use crying over spilt milk
Good luck to his wife & children!

I did ask, but she wouldn't tell as apparently that would be unproductive
I guess Jedward don't care...

Why are people posting BTH when they don't know (and sadly I don't think they will ever find out) where he is
Anyone with sound reasoning must realise that the worst has happened, and twitter, Facebook, BE etc. will not change that.

No doubt that individual feels that by posting an enigmatic message, fells that she is empathising in a meanful way... Quite clearly, those of you in Dubai are an utter irrelevence. You clearly know nothing, you interfering tax exiles. I mean, what on earth would you know about how the Dubai plod operate, and how could you so blatently ignore the 'motorcycle gangs'...
Gahhh....
