Nevertheless, Andrew Mitchell ought to be prosecuted.
He swore at a Police Officer. Anyone else would have been arrested for that.
When the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police met him this week, then he ought to have made the arrest.
Moreover, Mitchell's conduct expressed, as such conduct always does express, a general contempt for workers in our public services.
Mitchell is not the innocent victim here, and the attempts to portray him as such are motivated by the desire to put policing into the hands of Serco and G4S.
That must not be allowed to happen.
At the very least, the libel action against him ought to proceed.
With the full support of the Police Federation. Of course. What else are unions for?

Errrr ... there is a downside to the Northern traditionalist Labour right wing.
