Andrew Mitchell is all the reasons I have never voted Tory rolled up into a ball. 

P.S. I apologise for linking to the Sun but I couldn't resist the novelty. Besides- credit where credit is due-  it was the Sun that broke the story.

On the plus side, I do like his bicycle.

No-one is entirely wicked.

It's a bad sign for the Tories when both the Sun and the Telegraph are painting them in a bad light.

He sounds vile and a waste of God's good air:

At least he will be held accountable and probably forced to resign - because you live in a *proper* country, where people are forced to be accountable for hounding and bullying others.

Here, if someone knows someone who knows someone, then they get off scot free and impose their own "everybody knows" morality on people.

I know I go on about it every time I get the chance, but when one lives in such a society, it hurts for real.

I hope Mitchell gets the robust treatment he deserves for being such a pig.
