[Margaret Pilkington]

Andrew Mitchell admitted failing to comply with instructions from the police officer, arguing the toss and then swearing at the officer(and he resigned of his own volition - even though his position was made tenuous by the press)....whether or not he called him a pleb is immaterial.......Andrew Mitchell thought himself to be above the law......all the rest is just a smoke sceen.
Maybe now, the politicians will appreciate what it is like to get a taste of their own medicine(not being completely honest).

And before anyone takes me to task about the integrity of the policve....I agree...they should be above suspicion....but look at the Hillsborough situation.
That was institutional dishonesty on a grand scale.
