Tory Chief Whip 'Plebgate' Thread


Recommended Posts

The worst thing is that he said it the day after those two poor WPCs were killed in Manchester. It's disgusting really.

 

IPCC and ACPO released a report yesterday about sexual predators in their own ranks.

I'm no Tory but I don't think Andrew Mitchell should resign. He disputes that he used foul language against the policeman, but acknowledges that he shouldn't have called the policeman a "pleb".

The body representing rank and file officers also weighed in and called his behaviour a disgrace. The same could be said of their treatment of the Home Secretary at their conference earlier in the year when she told them things they didn't want to hear.

It's all very well for police representatives to demand respect and civility, but they must also give it to others - whether they hold public office or not.
