With reference to number two.........doesn't this outburst qualify him for for the name 'pleb' then......it was certainly uncultured to rant on at the policeman(who was only doing his job) in such a manner.

It would be good if the politicians of this country would do their job with such diligence - maybe we would have some kind of chance of rising out of the mire that they created for us 'plebs'.
