The main difference between the mccanns and the needham family, is one is working class, and the other is middle.

 

Get over yourself you pathetic moron, social class has NOTHING to do with it.

 

The Needham case did get a considerable amount of news coverage though

 

This 100 times over.

 

Now the media has much greater coverage so these storys are all over the place and seem much bigger.

24 hour TV news channel, Facebook, online news, e-mails, forums, news on your phone.

 

None of that was available in 1991, but still it got good coverage for the time.

The McCanns are one generation away from being working class. They are both high-achievers from working-class families, she from Liverpool, he from Glasgow. Mrs McCann studied medicine at the University of Dundee, qualified as an anaesthetist, then retrained as a GP because the work would be easier to combine with motherhood.

 

Her husband was the youngest of five children of Irish immigrants. His father was a joiner; his mother worked in a biscuit factoryhttp://www.mccannfiles.com/id1.html

 

The most important thing in both these cases is the children who are still missing, nitpicking about 'class' doesn't help.

Are you saying there are no upper class people in Liverpool and Glasgow? and are you saying they should have left a three year old alone every night of their holiday?
