Christ Almighty - how hopelessly naive are the Tories?
Mitchell should have the backbone to just resign. Nothing underlines how far out of touch the Tory party is than this incident. Are we really surprised given the 'Bullingdon' element within the Conservatives?
1. Hopeless ? Abolutely. More arrogance than naivity though. A toxic combination. Mitchell should have the backbone to just resign. Nothing underlines how far out of touch the Tory party is than this incident. Are we really surprised given the 'Bullingdon' element within the Conservatives?
2. I doubt Mitchell will resign (unless he is told to). There are plenty of policies that underline how out of touch this government is. Most of them will backfire eventually. Unfortunately most of the Government will have moved on to pastures new or have been moved sideways when they do.

Disagree, this is a story that will come back and bite the Tories in a couple of years time. The public have long memories for this type of behaviour, Brown bigot anyone. Damage has been done now and it will cost Tory votes. As for Mitchell, pawn in a storm.
Indeed. I have visions of something like "Plebs don't vote for Toffs" or something equally disparaging ona campaign poster when the elections come.crankedup said:

Sadly, I think keeping him in power is more damaging than getting rid of him - that kind of arrogant attitude is already costing the Govt votes (far too many poor people unhappy with the "we are all in this together" from multi-millionaires who have no idea how bad things are for the poor) and this I think will not assist at all.
I think that he and CCO will be working on the basis that this will be completely forgotten in a couple of weeks.Sadly, I think keeping him in power is more damaging than getting rid of him - that kind of arrogant attitude is already costing the Govt votes (far too many poor people unhappy with the "we are all in this together" from multi-millionaires who have no idea how bad things are for the poor) and this I think will not assist at all.
Cameron has a well documented distaste for being 'bounced' into appointment decisions by the public/the press. I suspect that Mitchell is as safe as he wants to be,
