I'd never heard of him but no surprise as I don't keep up these days with who's who in Politics. It's not right how he spoke to the officers who are there to protect him and his kind. I briefly watched a programme the other night where a policeman was being sworn at by some youngsters and the officer warned them they could be arrested for that. They continued swearing and taunting him but I didn't wait to see what happened and switched over as it's disheartening to see how some people behave.

 

If the only way Politicians will understand what the majority of the public expect from them, politically and personally, is for Politicians to become accountable for their actions, whatever they are, just like anyone else, they're no more special than anyone else.

The Scottish polis wouldn't allow you to swear at them,you'd be huckled off into the back of a van.

He was on the news  this morning speaking and stated that he did not use the word "Pleb" he didn't say he swore either though he didn't deny it.His friends stated he admitted to them he swore but he'd had a very "trying" day.

I would arrest anyone who suggested that I was a fan of the Manics or Bonio.

He could  end it all, the fuss i mean, if instead of saying' i did not use the words attributed to me' he  just told us which words he did use.

course that could now show him up to be  a liar as well as a  prat..

 

win / win really...

They discussed it on R2 Jeremy Vine! Lots of sweeping generalisations It really is a non story. Apparently him using the term "pleb" suggests that the cabinet are different to us. They are!!!

I agree. His nickname was "Thrasher" which sort of tells you something. He comes across like a bullying arrogant snob.
