I'm sure lots of us might be tempted to use such words if we had had a hard day or were under stress.
I do think this whole thing has been blown up out of proportion and is distracting from the everyday business that should be concentrated upon.
Perhaps if some people stopped slagging off MPs and had a go at their job things might be a bit different.

It's the other four letter words he's alleged to have uttered that (if he has uttered them) should've got him arrested for a public order offence. As for the p-word, I can honestly say it's never passed my lips, but then again, I'm not a toffee-nosed, upper class hooray henry who looks down upon the lower orders as many members of this government do.
As for having a go at Andrew Mitchell's job, let's see, what was his last position? Oh yes, Minister for Overseas Development, where he oversaw a 37% rise in the overseas aid budget (whilst people in this country were suffering from government cuts) and lavished our money on the likes of India (which can afford a space programme), China and Saudi Arabia. Yep, he did a great job there!
