Conservative MP - Police Rant.
Discussion
"Cabinet minister Andrew Mitchell has been threatened with arrest and apologised after an explicit rant at armed police officers who stopped him riding his bicycle out of Downing Street.
His outburst appears to have been prompted by the armed officers' refusal to open the gates in Downing Street to let him cycle through.
A source told the newspaper Mr Mitchell said: “Open this gate, I’m the Chief Whip. I’m telling you - I’m the Chief Whip and I’m coming through these gates.”
The officers declined to do as instructed, and warned him he would be arrested under the Public Order Act if he persisted.
He then began pushing his bike, before telling a PC: “Best you learn your f------ place. You don’t run this f------- government.
“You’re f------- plebs.”

Nice chap.
When he was Tory home-affairs spokesman Andrew Mitchell once said: "We need more respect and more police on the streets."
