You Won't Hear The Last Of This!

Tory Chief Whip, Andrew "Thrasher" Mitchell has certainly realised that this week, now his alleged words have echoed through the press after his confrontation with Police officers at the gates of Downing Street!

He denies calling the officer an "F***ing pleb" and a "moron" but doesn't deny having a confrontation with Diplomatic Protection Group officers after they refused to open the main gates for him to cycle through, stating they could not be opened for security reasons.

Thrasher has then allegedly gone on to shout "You don't run this f***ing government!" And "I'll have your jobs for this"

This is the usual jumped up snobby public school crap that we have to put up with many a Friday night when pissed up Suit wearing snobs say to us when they've been told to wind their necks in after becoming gobby.

What angers me more, is that, this is the Chief Whip who is meant to be in charge of discipline in the Tory Party. If he's like this, what are the rest like?

This not only shows total lack of respect and a holier than thou attitude towards "lesser mortals" but comes at very bad timing considering the day before two officers were shot dead in Manchester doing their job on a salary considerably less than his.

Just how out of touch are they? They have been silver spoon fed all their lives and live in gated communities so out of touch with reality they believe that they can genuinely speak the way they want to people and get away with it.

These are the people that make key decisions in our lives. And we in the police usually have to pick up the pieces when these decisions go wrong.

The constant attacks on us, cuts, pensions and Winsor reforms without even a buy your leave means that they are only after one thing. Money.

A literal smash and grab.

Then the words said by David Cameron and Theresa May after the deaths of PC Nicola Hughes and PC Fiona Bone.

Many officers including myself believe these words to be nothing but hollow rhetoric. They may have said what was politically correct and, as some have stated to me on Twitter, we would have been angry if they said nothing.

Part of me wishes they had just remained quiet or said the bare minimum. Stating to the press that officers face danger every day and its a reminder of what we do for safety of communities stinks of pure two faced cheek.

They are cutting front line numbers which will weaken community safety, pushing officers to the limit and making us work longer, for less. Bone and Hughes would have more than likely been discussing the cuts and how it could affect them.

We all know what shifts we have to do, last minute changes, extensions, cancelled rest days/leave, missing family celebrations, putting up with abuse and violence from people who hate us, want to fight us and in some cases, kill us.

To have two senior politicians take more away from us, make our job harder for us, then state how hard our job is, is an insult.

Then to have the Chief Whip verbally abuse us, shows just what they really think of us.
