Andrew Mitchell MP

There are serious issues facing the country, indeed the world, but the media and political classes are obsessing about a government minister having a go at a bobby. Fair enough Mitchell sounds like a prat but please, let's get a sense of proportion and forget about it.

As for the Police Federation banging on about an enquiry well they need to grow up. To use the fact that two police women were murdered in the same week is a cynical and emotive ploy by them and is far worse than anything Mitchell did. The Police Federation might also like to remember  that the incident occurred just after we found out about the police lies and cover-up over Hillsborough. But that wouldn't suit the bobbies' union agenda would it?

The Fuzz are probably overjoyed at finally finding a group in society that's less popular than them and seek to milk it while it lasts.

Though it's a close run thing..

It's amazing how Andrew Mitchell has turned so many lefties into ultra-right pro-police fanatics who want critics of the boys in blue executed.

The conventional left and right lack a clear head, as this issue demonstrates...
