Plebgate.

It would appear that we (might) have yet another example of the police being somewhat less than honest in their statement. If they are found guilty they should not be disciplined, they should be sacked. If we can't trust the police to act honestly who can we trust. What do you think ?

Agree - its truly shocking what you hear these days within the police force.
So disheartening, a reflection on todays society though I fear .....

Re: Plebgate.

Alan it doesn't give one much faith in the integrity of the police ..
What a good thing Andrew Mitchell had the sense to record the discussion which demonstrated the true intentions of the police.

Re: Plebgate.

Not impressed they are not taking this further too, a man's career was effectively stopped dead, he was dragged through the mud of the media, and it seems now to have been an attempt to bring down Teresa May too. Either the police are there to enforce the law and protect or they can make it up as they go along but if they decide that's how they want to go they need to stop taking money from the public as they do and become a private service.

Re: Plebgate.

Have known for many years that the 'Police' are not as pure as the 'driven snow' as they would have us all believe. Some of 'em are evil little toerags, some are on an ego trip, and some of 'em are violent thugs in uniform, and some of 'em, if kitted out in swastika armbands and jackboots would be well happy.

Sadly we are getting a reflection of our society, when we were all less violent and less evil we had a police force to be proud of but taking from the society we now seem to cherish we are getting the violence etc reflected back at us.

Re: Plebgate.

It has gone on for ages now. From a small ripple to a tsunami. One of my nephews is in the Police and is always being recommended for awards due to his good work for the Community. People like my nephew get a bad reputation just because of the few bad apples. I agree if they lied and made the situation worse then they should be sacked not told off.
Otherwise it gives off the idea if you lie, do things wrong, you still get your job and pension for life.
