Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…
“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”
Harold Macmillan says:
” Evans, dear boy, Evans “
I’m a plebeian now chaps.
Perhaps Cameron can quote Tony Blair, Millionaire…after Lord Lardarse punched a member of the public and still remained Deputy Dawg:
” Well, ya know….erm….Andrew….is….well….just…Andrew.”
Bum boy?
Guido, I take it you will be observing Yom Kippur tomorrow, in honour of your funders?
And sociopath Benny…put on your tin foil helmet, start dribbling and celebrate Eid……before you fly over the cuckoos nest…….
Doctor….Ben needs his tablets, again!
FFS! This is all getting out of hand! The little people are seeing through us. What we need is a damn good war, to kill 6 billion plebs, in a huge holocaust!
Kevin Maguire and Andrew Pierce on plebgate / gategate.
He went to Rugby, for goodness sake. Who’s he to call anyone a pleb!
Roast the Fucker – there surely must be a fireplace somwhere
I say, “Meissen” or Labour Troll…you obviously didn’t learn to spell at the Marxist Academy.
BTW, now remind me…how many “Socialist” Shadow Cabinet members went to public or independent schools and how many are sending their children to such elite schools?
Just asking.
Send my child to a state school? What do you think I am, a child-abuser?
State schools are full of working-class morons and immigrant thugs. Ugh!
That’s raaaacist, you meany
Your bottle is pointing the wrong way.
My school was rather more up market than Rugby.
Dreg.
Well I went to Fettes, Droog….nan nah nah na na…
You’re not another member of the Eton Mess, are you Meissen?
Meissen,because your school charged higher fees than Rugby does not make it more upmarket;more expensive certainly,but not necessarily more upmarket.
Another daddy was a mp, so I want to be an mp, true he went to Rugby, another completely out of touch with the man in the street (or clapped out omnibus) strange army commissioned and decommissioned in the same year only to go into the TA. Seems almost as strange as IDS
Poor old Andrew Mongchell. Digging an even bigger hole, just a week before the conferance…what a spanner !!!!!
Got a nice pay off from Rupee for this story.
Is English your first language Moussy? Brain power certainly isn’t your first attribute.
Why can’t you fucking plebs believe me when I tell you that I didn’t call you fucking plebs? You really ought to know your fucking place and stop badgering me for fucking apologies and fucking explanations……………..and stop fucking swearing.
Spot on Silent Bob. I love reading your postings. Hope you are well.
Well, WHAT DID YOU SAY? final version
So if the cooper has accepted his apology why is this dragging on?
Had it been a labour mp it would have been “oh its John being John”.
I mean its not like nothing else is going on like people getting murdered by their “government” in Syria is it?
This is just a media wankoff.
We’re all over this like a cheap suit on Lard Presclott.
Lard Pressclur over The Secreatary
Colonel Mustard in the library
Secretaries have an awful lot to answer for
Very true Kebab. Mind you, Leiber has had quite a few p*lice officers in their pockets for years. I don’t trust the fuzz as far as I could throw them, and as for the BBC………..!!!
Items that could have been the lead on bbc news today:-
** Continuing Syrian civil war, circa 30,000 dead so far.
**Revelation that the Lancashire police, in particular have covered up child sex abuse by immigrant gangs. (remember the then CC saying, “so, it happens, get used to it”.
** Government spending increasing not decreasing.
** Idiocy of the Cleggbecile.
No — the lead is what one dope said to another dope.
Westminster coverup?
It has allowed George Osborne to keep a low profile and Ed Miliband to do the same.
Only a fool would attempt to discuss serious matters when they can hide behind a media sham of somebody else feeling affronted
Just adding this, thanks for putting the Times link in further down.

I have not accepted and apology from Andrew Mitchell and enjoy a media wankoff like any other hot blooded male.
An obvious typo and I accept your grovelling apology.
I have not accepted his apology but anything that keeps my other half out of the news is a godsend
81lly, just because you have a wank in your security booth at everything you think is exciting does not mean everybody does
You’re just a little bully aren’t you T.G.K.T.T.G. ? Why don’t you do something positive, like making a decent comment on this blog. that is if you’re capable of it, which I doubt. Silly beggar.
+1
Resign you arse.
Cameron does not have the balls to sack you, you will have to push yourself out of the trough.
A job with a grateful NGO 4th sector rent seeking corporatists awaits you – for all the British taxpayer money you gifted them via DFID.
Resign you arse.
+1000
You are Andrew Mitchell and I claim the £15 thousand million of our money that you pissed away over the last two years.
Bloody plebs expecting a Senior Minister of the Crown to answer their questions…sheer bloody impertinence..these people should be tugging their forelocks not expecting such an important person to stand in the rain answering their damn fool questions
You sir, went to a Secondary Modern school and have an inferiority complex, get used to it.
You can tell he is lying, his lips are moving. Who would you rather believe, a politician or a policeman? Tough one eh?
+1, sure is. Particularly after Hillsborough.
I agree, but do not make the mistake of thinking that only the police are to blame for Hillsborough. Politicians would like us to think that but there were many opportunities to get to the truth. Not for the first time the name Jack Straw appears all over some of the early efforts – telling judges that there was nothing to the claims before even asking them to look at it.
Point well made anon, Straw is truly a weasel.
I believe the Press this time. Er, wait…..
Who, when recounting a story, has not embellished the facts?
Mitchell needs a lesson in humility 101. The only way people like him have the chance to learn to raise their self awareness is by being hit where it hurts-by being demoted.
Agree absolutely but it doesn’t excuse the continuation of the cosy relationship between coppers and the Murdoch press.
Couldn’t they just cut off his cock and balls?
Hasn’t done Cameron any harm.
Does the copper’s acceptance of his apology have the same veracity as Mitchell’s original denial of swearing? At the moment I’d like to see some independent verification of statements like this.
Off with his head!
It doesn’t matter whose- Mitchell’s or the cop’s.
As long as journalism has a scapegoat to play with.
Anything’s better than party political gatherings
But what about all those POOR PLEBS who voted for him in Sutton Coldfield?
Stick a blue rosette on to any pillock and the plebs will vote for it!
He’s blown that, they will vote Ukip now, at least those that would have voted Con
Yes pretty much anything with a blue rosette will get elected. Many of his own members think he is a arrogant twonk anyway. Particularly bad with the ladies I here.
Hear*
Just shut the fuck up and pay MORE taxes.
We know best how to predistibute/redistribute/waste your money better than you do.
Mans a plonker! Get rid of him Dave!
WACIST!!!
Bonus!!!!
Shut it Fatty
He just said—he never said what was reported
Making cops apology look gullible
Oh dear, it looks as though David has now been proved to have no balls, which indecently cannot be said of the labour mob. If Cameron had the least spark of leadership in him he would have removed the Mitchell clown immediately as this prolonged debacle is only increasing the damage to this weak and elitist government.
No Geoffrey, it is a case of “he said/she said” PLUS the media stoking the story up out of all proportion.
How funny when a Labour scumball is given light coverage. Harpic Harriet springs to mind, Presclott, and many, many more.
Regardless of political party or supporters, this and many other similar incidents just go to illustrate the lack of leadership within the political elite within this country. It goes without saying that no one individual within ANY of the main stream parties could possibly stand out as LEADERSHIP MATERIAL. None would be employed in the real world on ability alone; it’s a pity that the old boy network and family influence carry such weight to the detriment of this country!
Digging hole bigger and bigger with spade big got it not .
I agree with you Geoff! However, Bliar didn’t get a rough ride over fatty Prescott and all his other thugs. Why didn’t Bliar show any ‘balls’ over that?
Look here!…I am not only ‘honourable….but..’Right Honourable!’
Yours with gritted teeth
Andrews (as in Liver Salts) Mitchell…..am I going down the pan?….help!
If labour want Mitchell to resign, why didn’t they ask Gordon Brown to resign, after all Brown used physical violence.
It’s because he (Brown) ‘cared too much’.
Can we believe police statements?
Can we believe politicians’ promises?
Can we believe the media?
No.
My ‘no’ was for Doctor. I don’t think we can trust the police anymore.
That viscous-looking member of the public was looking at me in an aggressive and viscous way. Fearing for my life, I smashed him to the ground and, by causing him to die, incapacitated him.
I then denied any responsibility – damn the tourist with the video camera – grabbed my huge taxpayer-funded pension and sailed off into the sunset.
Remember: no matter how many members of the public we kill, no police officer ever gets charged.
See the lead article in the Times today – perhaps someone else will put a link to it.
The basic details are on their front page at the moment: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/
Well done for all that unfettered immigration, Labour. The plan was to f*ck off everyone in Britain, and boy, the plan worked. Now, what do they propose to do to fix the mess, because Dave and his LimpDum chums sure don’t look like they can be arsed to deal with it.
Why are we focusing on this when the economy is still beyond fucked?
Donald where’s ma troosers?
Exactly.
because it is the right thing to do
Don’t know what you are gobbing off about Cleggyboy “You’re FIRED”
Look! Look over there! Wow, what is it?! It’s some.. sort.. of.. distraction! Wow! Isn’t it amazing?! Everyone look at it, quick! Keep looking! Wow!
It’s pretty stormy in here.
Celebrity is hell.
I think the interest is because everybody enjoys seeing their betters taken down a peg or two
I question whether someone who raves at Policemen is ‘better’ than me.
It’s satire you donk
This afternoon I am dancing the rumba whilst fingering bowls of chinese savouries
There could well be darker forces at play here. Is it possible that this politically left supporting police force is actively looking for situations that could embarrass a Tory government. This incident if handled properly by a competent officer without a political axe to grind should never have seen the light of day. The whole issue is so minor it’s laughable.
Who gives a s***, some idiot or idiots had an argument over something, happens million times over every day….he said sorry, cleggy and gordon call people bigots and its all glossed over.
The head of the Met, on R5, when asked by Mellor to explain why police officers had been paid to give transcripts to newspapers replied, “that isn’t the issue.”
I expect that is entirely the issue.
And since when did The Sun start getting information from the police about alleged incidents. Hang on.
If an offense has been committed, charge him with something or get over it.
Perhaps Mr Mitchell actually called the bluebottle a ‘plod’.

I take it that the new borrowing figures are just a slight amusment for Georgie boy and Dave. What does it really matter to them? They appear to be only playing at this government thing to pass the time.
You leave my little friend alone.
This should have appeared as a response to 67…
I’d like to remind you plebs, it has taken me less than a week to say sorry to the plebs I insulted. Whereas, those plebs pleby colleagues from up north (a pleb lying about opening gates – who’d have thought it), took twenty three years to apologise.
THIS WHOLE AFFAIR IS FUCKING PATHETIC
Andrew Mitchell has apologised for not showing the police enough respect.
“I don’t think they are plebs, though that Sting is a bit of a cu*t” he said in a statement.
Do do do do doooo as I say.
Da da da da dar’nt dare sell your story the Sun.
Dick Nobinson: “Do you think the Andrew Mitchell should resign?”
Nick Clegg “Hell no! Its keeping our disastrous, depressing, defeated conference off the news.”
I’m bored with this story.
He shouldn’t be rude, but it’s hardly a sackable offence or one that he should resign for.He’s apologised so can everyone now move on and allow the government to focus on what’s important.
Have some of that bacteria yogurt. You’ll feel much better.
If one of us had ridden up to a police checkpoint, had been asked to dismount our cycle and take it through a sidegate and instead had started shouldting obscenities at the police, and then when asked to desist continued to shout obscenities at the police do we think a) they would turn their back and ignore us or b) arrest us?
From the various police reality programmes on TV, they tend to warn several times that if the person swears again they will be arrested. Usually they need a lot of provocation before they actually do something which is perhaps why Boris Johnson was saying that anyone swearing at the police should be arrested, impractical of course as all the police would be back at the station doing paperwork.
I have apologised not because I am sorry, but because I do not wish to lose my Minister’s salary and am very keen to keep on toughing.
Why is nobody seeing the obvious here?
To clear this matter up, all we need to know is:
Was it a two or a a four bottle lunch that had poor Andrew all stressed and bellicose?
And did he have time for a brandy and cigar before taking on the Met’s jobsworths?
well as previously posted if he was over the limit then he should have been arrested and charged.
Why do the Conservative party allow this matter to become a media event . AM was riding his bike out of Downing St and he must have been known to the policemen on duty . All they had to do was press a button and the gate would open and AM would depart on to Whithall . The question is what type of awnfull jobsworth were the police on duty . Just think the police on duty get a very good salery and pension for guarding the Downing St. Also most employees are asked not to discuss confidential matters regarding their employment with the media , this rule must apply to the Met. Also is the person concerned a active member of the police federation , for they are the body who have given this story legs . This is a further example of the left wing media giving the conservatives a hard time.
no it’s not, it’s about the working man getting a glimpse of what the bourgeois fuckwits think of the society they live in.
” DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM ?”
dear squid – NO who are you?
not telling but I’m sure THEM know
On BBC News
BREAKING NEWS:
Met Police is investigating how police records of the incident involving Andrew Mitchell were obtained by the Sun newspaper
Remember, this happened in the same week that a nutcase offed 2 policewomen in that hellhole that is Manchester. Glossy Dave immediately came on the idiot amuser to tell us that respect for the plod was in decline, that we should protect our large shoed enforcers.
Then a government chief whip does this. Where is the respect for the filth now, Davey boy?
Six of one, half a dozen of the other here.
He should not have insulted the cops and he should not have threatened to get them later.
The cops should either have arrested him or treated him to some witty comments.
The reason this made the news is because of the threats he made that this was not the last they would hear about this, so in order to cover their arses they submitted written reports of the incident and somehow this got to the Sun.
Then we also have the plod Union trying to make political capital out of it.
It would be decidedly jolly though if one of the tourists who witnessed it came forward.
I is praying for an iphone vid
Met shoot themselves in the foot again, Rupert has the last laugh.
I see that when the Met Police say they want to know how the Sun got the police statement, the story disappears off the Sun website front page

Fauksburner is out looling for the Bonfire;-))
Cameron’s toff cabinet has now encroached effortlessly onto Jeremy Kyle territory
Only plebs are arrested for verbally abusing police.
“not that [a long and frustrating day] is any excuse at all for what happened”.
Then why mention it?
he,s hoping it will go away,but its just gathering pace.
I see no alternative to a peaceful transition to a sensible society other than to vote UKIP
do I look fast and bulbous in this ?
