What do we all think of Andrew Mitchell's outburst at the policeman who stopped him taking his bicycle through the main gates at the end of Downing Street?


If he DID say those words, although he deserves condemnation, it is the sort of thing that can be resolved with a fulsome apology, and an appeal that he was talking in the heat of the moment, and he didn't really mean it.

Mr Mitchell acually denies saying those words, and as a senior Government figure, his integrity must be beyond question.

However, I understand that the officer in question has confirmed that those were his EXACT words. And I think I trust the words of a police officer over those of a party politician.

So his position is untenable. Not because of the words he used in the heat of the moment, but because of his subsequent lying to try and save his skin.

If he did say those words, why wasn't he arrested for a public order offence? If any of us had said it, we'd be hauled down the clink sharpish.
 
Its only the truth, what these people think of the ordinary working man.:( n Camerons accepted his apology whats new.?:rolleyes:
 
I think he's a complete idiot of his class and I would expect nothing better. He seems to think he's beyond the law and his immature attitude reflects that of the government in power at the moment in my opinion.

Because he's in a privileged position. How many of us get to ride our bicycles through the main gates of Downing Street?

He's used the words, then allegedly lied by denying that he said them.

That's double the crime!

Apparently the Daily Mail tomorrow does a demolition job on Andrew Mitchell. Three pages condemning him.

So even Tories supporting him are few and far between.

Maybe, but we all have our own beliefs whether they are right or wrong to the rest of us - but surely not even Mr. Cameron or his sidekick Mr. Clegg could defend this man's actions?

Yeh but only cos of damage to the party, Aint cos they think hes wrong.:rolleyes:
 
Pleb.........I have been called much worse than that by Police Officers in my younger days
and would not be afforded the luxury of running to Mum.
I read today of a Labour Whip swinging on the nuts of Jack Straw to bring him in line with the policy of the day.(Daily Mail).
This story is absolute tosh and a waste of police and parliamentary time.
I have every respect for the Police but none for the point scoring Police Federation.
The policeman is not hurt like that poor soul who was belted with a stick.

Got it in one Cashy. A return to Victorian style sneering upon of the "plebs" by our lords and masters seems to be the order of the day.:mad:
