Rant number 353
How on earth, is this shit still in the news now? It was bastarding months ago.
For anyone who has just been released from jail/has just emerged from a Coma, this all begun rather a while ago.
A guy called Andrew Mitchell wanted to go out of the main gates on downing street on his bicycle, because he's like - so too important to use the gates right?
The policemen guarding the gates - not surprisingly said something along the lines of 'use the gate please' to which Andrew Mitchell had a bit of a tantrum - apparently culminating in him calling them Plebs.
He's since been sacked - and quite right too. If you want the public to be respectful to your police force - you should probably try and be respectful to them too.
That's not actually what I'm bothered about to be honest.
What irks me is two things:
A) Them calling it Plebgate - which is very irritating.
B) The fact that its still in the news.
I quite frankly don't really care about the story - and don't expect it to be carrying on so long. Andrew Mitchell has many times said he didn't call the policemen Plebs however - he seems to be quite tightlipped on exactly what was said. Now also - he's trying to turn it back on the coppers for lying about it. Just drop it! It should have been over with now.
Everyone knows that the tories are out of touch bastards who think we are indeed plebs, commoners, peasants etc etc. Chasing these stupid stories does nothing to solve things.
It's not like him being gone is going to make things better. They'll just replace him with another arsehole. That's how things like this are.
Frankly, I'm a bit pissed off of hearing about it now! There had better be some new news tomorrow!
Rant over.
