That's something you'd expect from Viz, too.


FFS, though, they (I think the police?) now are wanting a bloody public enquiry!

This country has gone mental.

So why didn't this snivelling little uniformed jobsworth copper let him go through the main gate anyway?

I think Mr Cameron should get him some proper transport, say a reinforced Hummer, so that Mitchy can drive through the bloody gates when he wants, even when closed

The next headline will be "PM forced to resign after kicking Downing Street cat!" A spokeswoman for the two girl Green Party said "Doesn't the PM realise that the cat has a perfect right to s,hit on the doorstep if he wishes" "He can't treat the cat like he does the Liberals"

Typical of a Tory **** ...... wouldn't surprise me one bit if he was an old Eton or Rugby Boy - they look down on us 'Plebs'.

This is the mindset of the people who are governing us - laughable!!

Sack him NOW!!

Why sack him , sometimes coppers are plebs ! Just coz two were killed last week there is a whole storm brewing. What about the cops at Hillsborough ? Cant ask for respect when it suits.

pslewis

Sack him because he has shown himself to be a Liar, a Snob and a Tory!!

Then sack all politicians , and alot of cops while you are at it.

Well I think Andrew Mitchell should have been afforded the respect to befit his status, as government chief whip. The Police should have saluted and escorted him and his bicycle through the exit of his choice rather than use the officious attitude. Thats the problem with todays society, a distinct lack of respect that eventually filters down to the real plebs and underclass.

I note that the officers involved went to the newspapers with their version of events. Does this mean that now the Police are freely sharing information with the press we may now get the full story of the Hillsborough cover up?

Never heard such a childish story in my life. Big deal, he wasn't allowed to ride his bike through the main gate and big deal the copper got sworn at.

These people need to man the **** up. Send them both out to Afghanistan for a reality check.

Non-story!

I think you misunderstand. The story is in two parts:

1) The use of the word "pleb", giving away the fact that many of the senior Tories consider themselves far more important than the people who vote for them (or not).

2) The fact that he seems to have lied to Cameron about what was said, and thus Cameron has lied in public (more than usual for a politician, anyway).

You are correct that the fact words were exchanged is not, in itself, newsworthy.

The police should just drop it and stop acting like girls,

But they should off course make sure Mr Mitchell gets safely home after any evening functions at the commons, with a quick stop and check all is ok, then a friendly wave to send him on his way

Any smell of alcohol from within the car would be an unhappy and unfortunate end to the whole sorry affair

Totally agree. 'The nasty man swore at me.' Blah blah blah.

Man the **** up. If the Police were serious, then they should have floored him rather than 'telling' on him. Pathetic really, on both sides.

I think some are missing the point, saying the Police should man up etc, it seems to me that the story is being prolonged more by the media than anything else.

Having said that if a minister loses his job over it then that's good really, it's about time that these people realise the "plebs" voted to put them where they are in the first place.

Thank goodness someone here understands the issue

Political probably, their numbers are being cut

Exactly, they're being cut back, blamed for the severity of last year's riots by Teresa May, two have just been killed simply by doing their job and then they get insulted by some Tory ****! You can kind of see their point!

Jamescsti

There will be a lot of Police who will quite happily get one over on a politician at the moment. That fact this one was so stupid as to make comments in public is his own fault really.

Leslie

I think thats funny!

The self important prat shoulf be kicked into touch, and our gallant leader should be made to explain himself!
