After nearly a month the row over Chief Whip Andrew Mitchell’s position is still going on.
Yesterday Mitchell met with members of the Police Federation in his constituency, but after a 45 minute meeting Federation members stated that they felt Mitchell’s position was untenable, and even called on PM David Cameron to sack him if he doesn’t resign.
This row has dragged on long enough and frankly it should be put to bed, Mr Mitchell shouldn’t have to resign and David Cameron shouldn’t have to sack him, Mitchell has apologised to the officers involved and they alone should be the ones to decide whether to take this matter any further and they haven’t, so I think it’s time for everybody to move on and get on with their jobs and their lives.
I don’t for a moment condone Mr Mitchell swearing at police officers and I think he really should tell us what he did say, but as I’ve said before are we really going to start sacking people for losing their temper, what he said was wrong, he’s apologised, he shouldn’t be sacked, can we please move on.
