Thus it is another year with no answers - only different from all the others because Gonçalo Amaral’s book that the McCanns so object to is once more on sale in bookstores - and because Scotland Yard has revealed its investigations are close to an inconclusive end.<br /><br />natasha.donn@algarveresident.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891574965172458848.post-48985183457588904552016-05-02T22:27:56.930+01:002016-05-02T22:27:56.930+01:00Fine reply Textusa.

And not many can -- because it does not exist in the way that your readers believe it does. Citing a Guardian article is not enough (most of their articles lack academic precision when it comes to discussing some vague ideas of an Establishment). Public institutions do not work together to protect an Establishment. Individuals inside institutions often work to protect their own interests, and are almost always (in British public life) exposed by members of other public institutions -- who in your broad definition -- constitute the 'Establishment.'<br /><br />For example, in the instance you cite -- it was the 'Establishment' (as you put it) that started the process of exposing the 'truth' (Home Office, the Oxbridge educated Andy Burnham), and at the same time, the Establishment that 'covered it up.' (South Yorkshire Police) . The truth in these matters is often more complex than you, or your readers, can articulate.<br /><br />I assume that you, and your readers, want there to be a mythical Establishment so you can apply your Manichean world-view to this case to explain a rather simple tale in more thrilling terms.<br /><br />Thanks for the witty repartee JR.
