Andrew Mitchell the Jobsworth Hero

Andrew Mitchell the cabinet minister who was stopped riding his bike out of Downing Street last week by a policewoman is a hero for anyone, like me, who has been stopped by the police for no good reason at all. He was told to ‘go through that gate not this one’ by someone who spends all day waiting around doing nothing at all really while being paid much more than they deserve.
If he swore, frankly that is no more than that jobsworth deserved. The police are no there to make sure that everything has it rightful place and that every rat escapes down the right drain.
